I am joyfully convinced that a New Years Eve Pajama Party is the best way to celebrate a closing 2012 and an opening 2013. I couldn't help but smile throughout the evening...have you ever been so blissfully aware of the gifts of friendship before you?

One of my favorite Christmas cards I received this season had this message inside, "The very best gifts are the ones we already have." 

So true. Here's to counting our blessings and living in the moment.

'Tis the season for wrapping up Christmas commissions - fa la la fun!! This painting was based on a client's photograph of the pups after a day of swimming and running...adorable. I usually can't post presents until after the holidays, but I was cleared for this one and just in time - a 12" x 12" for 12/12/12!

We've had freezing temps the last couple of evenings - winter has arrived in the Texas Hill Country.
