The creative journey is on hold as the studio work table has been taken over by Christmas card preparation. I do enjoy this process, choosing cards that resonate with image and sentiment, recapping the year in a letter for those I only connect with periodically from season to season, adding a personal note to show this is not just an automated process. I guess I enjoy it also because I love being the recipient of the cards and letters that show up in my mailbox each Christmas. It's a different kind of staying in touch from our ubiquitous electronic one, a tradition I doubt I'll ever give up.
I've also been busy updating my cafepress shop - it's not too late to order gifts in time for Christmas. My "Idaho Maple Leaves" image has been added to the tile coaster (available in both framed and unframed versions) and keepsake box. And you can now find my "Willow" quilt on notecards that can be purchased individually or in packets of 20.
Still available are t-shirts and sweatshirts, mugs and totes, stickers and magnets with my Idaho Beauty Block logo and motto (Quilting...an alternative lifestyle) as well as two calendars of my favorite art quilts and journal quilts. And don't forget the new items with oak leaf image recently added. Happy shopping!

Hi Sheila, thanks for updating your blog.
It is always good reading your news.
I liked your mapples and willow, they are very beautiful.
I think blogging is marvelous because it is a kind of file we can storage our achievements and good and sad moments.
God bless you!

Thanks, Lucia. I agree with you about blogging. Sometimes I surprise myself by what I have shared when I look back at older posts. It's a good reminder of how far I've come but also of some of the core things that have not changed over the years.
Hi, Sheila. Your oak leaf postcards are quite lovely. And I see you're in the holiday spirit. Wishing you a happy holiday season!
best, nadia
That Cafe Press model is a great idea! I'll have to look into that for 2014. Your Textures mouse pad is gorgeous! I'll bet the original is spectacular!
