The one thing most\u00a0of us have in common on a holiday like this is family. Hopefully, we are surrounded by them or will be talking to them today. Some of us will also\u00a0be missing loved ones but\u00a0thinking of them fondly. I will be missing all my girls, my step-daughters and granddaughters, but they will all be together out in Kansas with lots of extended family. I will be missing my four\u00a0siblings and nieces and nephews that live in Colorado and my adopted family of close friends out there. Because this year I am having a sunny Christmas in California and will be taking off shortly with my handsome better half to go spend the rest of the day\u00a0with my parents,\u00a0my older\u00a0sister,\u00a0and her family. So, I will have some family while missing others, but I am terribly grateful to have so many loved ones and more grateful still that we all get along so well!<\/p>\n

I thought a little Eve Thissen<\/a>\u00a0would be a perfect accent to the day with her beautifully expressive images, portraying love and tenderness with simple lines and shapes\u00a0that create\u00a0tiny but unmistakable gestures. Today will be all about family for so many of us, and this is the feeling I hope you all have as you greet and hold and hug and talk and laugh with them.<\/p>\n

Happy holidays and a very warm and merry Christmas to you, my generous and kind polymer and craft art\u00a0family.<\/p>\n
