It’s December! Here we are coming to the end of 2021 and gearing up for a holiday month and a new year around the corner. Where are you at this time of year my friend? Are you full of excitement or do you feel unsure? I seem to vacillate between those ends of the emotional spectrum depending on the day, and I’m sure you are somewhere in between also. No matter how we feel about December, the month tends to chug along with or without us, right?
Because you are a crafter and find joy in creating beautiful things, I encourage you to make time for yourself to pull out your things and PLAY WITH PAPER! Make a card or a treat for a stranger, invite a friend to hang out with and stamp, or simply turn on some music and apply ink to paper until you smile! Take care of yourself, do what you love to do, and all your other tasks will be more enjoyable too!
My friends, I wish for you MUCH joy and love and peace this month and always. -Robin

Leave me a comment and tell me what your most favorite and least favorite things are about the month of December!
Robin, I so enjoy escaping everyday struggles and making crafts with you. Your cards are gorgeous! My least favorite thing about December is that my dad passed on the 22nd, so Christmas has never been the same for 27 years. In fact, my family doesn’t even get together anymore, so it tends to be a down time for my husband and me. My favorite thing about December is that daylight hours start increasing at the end of the month, so that cheers me up. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Looking forward to seeing you Friday!
I appreciate this honest comment about a hard month, Johnna. I think movies and stores build up a picture of how this season should be perfect and it never really is. I do love that as I get older my perception of what brings joy and peace is much more realistic and meaningful. You are right about the days starting to get longer again-that is very exciting! I will “see” you on Friday.
