Tis the season to remember

| Although I am Jewish, I absolutely adore creating holiday ornaments. I think this harks back to when I was a girl scout living in the suburbs of Atlanta. Each year, I looked forward to stringing popcorn and cranberries as well creating these little works of art to decorate the tree. |

Memorial OrnamentsOne tradition that I have discovered is creating memorial ornaments. These ornaments usually have a dragonfly or a butterfly to symbolize life after death in a spiritual way. Collectors were snatching up the dragonfly ornaments and asking to have their loved ones names added lovingly to the back. |

Art provides comfortI love this tradition so much and it gives me joy to know that my little art is providing comfort to those who may be feeling loss. Families normally collect a new one each year and I also noticed that my collectors preferred to get the holiday ornaments in multiples so that is why I am offering coordinated ornaments in sets of three. There are only three sets offered this year in this style plus I also have some selected ones I made with small prints of my art and bedazzled with glitter. You can see all the ornaments HERE |

Celebrate Your FamilyHonoring your loved ones during the holidays brings the spirit of the holiday to what is most important, celebrating your family. Instead of the name, sometimes people will choose to personalize the ornament with the verse: Those we love don't go away, |

| Last year, I hosted a hugely successful newsletter subscriber only black Friday "sale." I put sale in quotes because I really don't put my art on sale but I do give art collectors and loyal newsletter subscriber secret coupon codes to save on art because I really appreciate you. (by the way, I wouldn't necessarily suggest waiting until the sale to get these 2015 ornaments since I only made ten in this style and they may even be gone before the sale. I don't usually have time to restock so once these are gone, they are gone. You can get yours now HERE ) |
