As I quickly changed my clothes, again, after a little faux pas from a feisty baby Ruby, I struggled to make it to the church service on time. I became very flustered and just wanted to stay home. But when I arrived the carols where in full flow, the candles twinkling and the words Peace on Earth were being sung. I saw the delight in Ruby's eyes, took a deep breath and just embraced the moment.
Whatever the day, month or year, whatever life brings, I want to learn to be more and more grateful for all I do have. Life itself can sometimes get in the way of living! My life has been changed forever by the arrival of my baby girl and I am thankful that she is teaching me to live moment by moment. Just as she is doing here during her very first encounter with Christmas lights...
I have also had a fabulous year being on the best Design Team ever! Huge thanks to Simon Says Stamp for giving me such a wonderful opportunity and thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged my art and blog. I look forward to another year of inky antics and creativity with you all!
Have a truly blessed, wonderful and fantastic festive time. Enjoy the holidays in your own special way, wherever you are.
With love,
Sarah.
Oh, look at Ruby - she is what Christmas is all about. Hope you have a wonderful first Christmas with her and a very Happy New Year too. xx
