The Time of 'Giving'

Christmas has always been a stressful time for me --the mass consumerism, the crowds, the frenzy...I always prefer a nice, quiet evening at home with a select few/good friends, or family...and that's exactly what I got this year --wonderful friends, loved ones, comraderie, great conversation and the realization that I'm fortunate to have all these things and more, which led to the following inspirations, customizations and challenges:

Nightmare Before Christmas Purse Charm
(custom piece)


Nightmare Before Christmas Ornaments
(Custom piece)


Keyboards for the boys and my partner in crime:
(gifts: Roland MC-909, EMU, NordLead2, Roland Drum pad)


and lastly, a sparkly shamrock heart
(custom piece)

Christmas this year was worth it.
