December starts with joy in the air.
Snowflakes falling everywhere.

Here is a story about Christmas. This is the first page of the story on the countdown to Christmas Eve.

[A note about this picture: I sketched the girls in pencil and in and then snapped a photo. In my digital art program, I added a touch of PS generative tools to give the girls a softer look and then edited the results.]

Family gathered far and near.
Togetherness brings holiday cheer.

This picture was based on a bridge we drove under in St. Louis area. I always enjoy snapping pictures of this bridge and getting inspiration to create.

A child delights in reaching far,
To top the tree with a shining star.

Baking cookies, rolling dough.
Sprinkles falling like snow.

Everyone knows adding sprinkles is the best part!

Illustrating is a challenge, such as this one: I tried to draw children--I think the two look like little old ladies! Oh well!

Letter to Santa, written carefully.
Wishes and hopes for under the tree.
