Advent Art

The art of Christmas...what a joy. For the next few posts (totally related to the time and photos I have available), I'll be sharing some of my Christmas art. 

Angels make me happy. This one is ink and watercolor matted on Christmas paper for a card.

About Advent

Advent is "the first season of the Christian church year, leading up to Christmas and including the four preceding Sundays."  It is the season observed in Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting for Christ. 

I get a bit annoyed with the common concept of "12 days of Christmas"  being before Christmas. These 12 days are actually the 12 days between Christmas and the coming of the Magi (you know, those 3 kings--smile). Yes, Virginia, there is a Christmastide season and it is NOT the 12 days before Christmas.

And now, I apologize for getting all huffy. Seriously, if you are celebrating the birth of Christ, then the blessing is the blessing.

I've been trying to add a slide show of all the interior pages and my competency has been stretched. If you click on the button "view all images" you can see the slide show on their site, but I can't seem to get it pretty here...I'll keep trying.

In the meantime I'm working on finishing ours which will be lumpy, bumpy, and glittered. I've had a tight budget lately, PLEASE hire me if you can--smile. However through the generosity of friends I cropped yesterday and got some of the newer Distress Stickles from Ranger. I can't wait to get them on our calendar and other projects.
