Christmas Eve Blogger Fun!!

(Here I am, decorating our table top tree with handmade ornaments and Radko Shiny Brite ornaments)
 
Merry Christmas Eve!
Today is one of my favorite days of the year. 
So many family memories come rushing 
quickly to the surface, and I cannot help but be giddy!!!
In addition to the excitement of spending the day with my 
family, sharing our faith, food, and fellowship, 
we will spend a lot of time traveling down memory lane, 
remembering Christmases past, 
Enjoying Christmas present, 
and thinking...
about 
Christmas future. 
It is so rewarding to know that artist friends, 
collector friends, and many of my friends 
do the same, so you can imagine how rewarding it 
feels to see my art become part of their traditions, 
and theirs become part of mine. 
It has been a real sweet surprise to see some of my originals 
show up on several recent blog posts lately.

First my Santa boot popped up last night, 
on a tree of the expert tree decorator Darryl Moland, 
he has written 
you may have seen his work in 
Christmas Cottages on shelves now!
Or in my friend Matthew Mead's magazine
 
My work as also popped up on 
as part of a feature on our friend Celeste. 
She has the most wonderful collection of holiday folk art!
I am very honored that one of my Snow-cone characters, along with many of Johanna's snowmen
are on one of her trees!

You can imagine how excited I am that my art is being shared with others! If you have not had a chance to get an original this year, there is still time! I have a small handful of original ornaments left in my Etsy Shop, if you would like to stop by 
and add one of my originals to 
your holiday collection, 
your holiday traditions,
and your holiday home!
 
Merry Christmas Eve to all, and to all a good Christmas Eve!

Bells and various pine cones hang from the chandelier.

There is no place like home for the holidays!






There is no place like home for the holidays...
truer words were never spoken.
Growing up we spent each Christmas Eve at my
grandparents home. We had so many great memories there
and though my grandparents are long gone, my
memories of their home for the holidays still remain. Several
years ago, my friend, and woodcarver extraordinaire,
Anthony Costanza
carved
my grandparents home for me. I took pictures of the front, back, and sides.
He captured each window, door, fireplace to a T!
This year their home is under a bell jar, with
miniature trees, and two kinds of snow. I have added a red bow to the
top of the bell jar.
The memories this little carving bring back are so special.
I wanted to share this version of my favorite
"Home for the Holidays..."
For remembrance of my grandparents each Christmas Eve we light a floating
candle in one of my grandmother's old iron pots.
~Share traditions with the ones you love today, and they will last a lifetime.
Merry Christmas! Robert
