glow of Christmas

    My most favorite Christmas tradition is the Candlelight Service, when all the lights go out and then the solitary candle glows in the darkness.  Every year it amazes me how total darkness is instantlyy dispersed by the tiny flame of just one light.  An illumination that grows and spreads as people share their light with their neighbor. May the Light of Christmas illuminate your life this year :)

Christmas colors from CCCOE team on Etsy

Every time i pop on Etsy to check on my shop, I see something absolutely beautiful that someone else has made.   Its been said many times, but it is still true, there is something special about handmade items.  not only are they lovely, but you see all the hard work that went into them, and that makes them treasure worthy.  On etsy, I'm a part of a great team of artists called the California Crafters Club of Etsy.  I try to feature differant artists on this blog, so today i want to show off some of their work, in the holiday colors of Christmas.
