I am having a lovely Christmas Season with my Mom visiting from California. I am also especially pleased that I finished all my commissions, even the big one I finished last night that’s not due until next week. It’s a private piece I’m not allowed to share though 🙂 I feel as if I hadn’t taken a breath until I knew this last piece was done lol! Now I can spend a whole week with nothing dangling in the back of my mind to hold me back for some quality time with family!

While I was furiously finishing my last piece, we were surprised by carolers! My dermatologist and the rest of his 20-member family and a box of homemade goods! I wish I could have joined them and singing to the rest of the neighborhood but I needed to keep working. I felt like a Scrooge.

I hope all my blog friends are feeling fulfilled and whole as I am. I wish you all the best that the season can offer. Please know I appreciate the time you’ve given me by reading up on me even if you don’t comment hahaha! Each of you is a beautiful gift in my life xox

The glamorous life and times of an artist!

  1. HEY CD! How’d your mom, miss alice, like her book gift? Hope I get to see it in real life when you get yours. My snowman ornament is hanging in my kitchen where I can see it every day. I even saved the card, you cute thing you!

    Now the gauntlet has been thrown…I HAVE to finish my website job…or you win and I don’t!

  2. Well Red, as you know, I won the challenge but I think we both won huh? 🙂

    Mom loved her book! She’s a brat though, when she found out the particular gift was hers, she didn’t let up until I gave her the green light to open it. But she said it’s the best gift ever because it was something that nobody else could buy for her. 🙂 I did get my copy too so I’ll have to show ya! Thanks for asking xox

  3. Merry Christmas Akiko! We just dropped off Mom at the airport so now I can get back into my art! I can’t wait to see my portrait by Miss Alice too, both did a fantastic job with each other’s portraits! We’ll have to swap pics too, you and I!
