The P. Family

Meet the P family - there's Dad, Mom, Gavin and Ella. Frequent visitors to my blog will probably recognize the kiddos because I babysit them. I can't believe how big they've grown! This morning, I had the opportunity to take their christmas pictures and had a blast. It was a challenging shoot trying to get two kids to look at the camera with smiles at the same time. I'm learning and this was a good experience for me! Thanks for being so supportive of my work, Joey and Dinice!

Christmas designs, part 1

Recently, I've gotten back into the habit of sketching. I've never been great, but I do enjoy taking ideas and putting them to paper. My latest sketches have included a lot of Christmas designs. This year, I'm thinking about individually preparing each of my Christmas cards by including some of the sketches. In the past, I've matted photos or used rubber stamps, but this year I'd like to make things simple, focusing on the real reason for the season. Drawing separate pictures for each card saves money and it's more unique and special to the recipient.

First, I've been testing different writing "fonts" that I've created. That just means I scribble different phrases in various ways until I come up with something that I like. Today, I spent over an hour doing this (read: procrastination. I have two presentations and three papers that need to be finished). Here's what I came up with. Very elegant and classy, but still simple. Love it.




Next up: I'll be unveiling some of the other drawings that will grace the front of the cards.

Christmas!

Please, don't shoot me. I'm not a fan of Christmas before Thanksgiving either, but I need some input for a project, which is the ONLY reason I'm posting this.

When you think of Christmas, what images or words come to mind? Also, if you have a favorite Christmas tune, please include that as well :)

Merry Christmas


For unto us a child is born,

to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace
there will be no end.
He will reign on David's throne
and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it
with justice and righteousness
from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty
will accomplish this.
