Christmas Ornament Warm and Fuzzies
Published December 3rd, 2007 in Ideas and Inspiration.
I’m not huge on doing lavish Christmas decorating in my own home. Just give me a tree and a minimalist nativity. I do, however, love making ornaments and filling a tree with small treasures. I think this angel is my favorites of all time. I didn’t make her, I’ll have to have mom remind me where she comes from. She has bendy limbs, so every year growing up I would shape her into a new pose that she would graciously hold the entire holiday season. Now I love it because it’s old and makes me chuckle about my how much of a girls’ girl I was- loving everything ballet, pink, kittens and. . .
. . .unicorns. And, bless my mother, she started ornament collections for my brother and I long ago. When I got married she gave me a box filled with the ornaments that had been given me over the years, and on my first Christmas with my husband we had a good start to our own collection. Do you have any favorite ornaments?

Hi Meghan,
Your shop looks fabulous! I just caught one of your emails in my old Yahoo account - I think they were being eaten by the spam filter. All of my new contact info is attached to this post. You can see what I’ve been working on at my wordpress site, too. My time at the Eric Carle museum inspired me to become a librarian, so that’s what I’ve been working at in addition to painting.
I hope you’re well!

Thanks Shannon! It’s great to hear from you. I’ve been wondering how you are doing. I think of you often as you were the person who first talked with me about the concept of blogs.
I love your paintings and am so happy your time at The Carle helped point you toward a new career. I look forward to sharing that with folks there and to staying in touch!
