The Christmas crazies...

...have me by the tail, so this will be short and only slightly sweetened by cookie dough (no photos available, though).

I've been out in the sunshine (we had an hour or so of it this week) and caught this lovely leaf-bare mountain ash berry fest against that blue sky.  What a gift!

I've been working on a large card (14" x 11" when folded) for the Swan Valley Lodge staff in the Adult Day Program.

They are such wonderful caregivers, and John so much enjoys his time there.

We'd be hard-pressed to manage this terrible disease without their heartful service.

And I promise that the box of chocolates will be full when this is all packaged up, but the temptation is massive, may I say?

Sending Christmas vibes your way as I speed over to your posts to see what's happening on your end.
