Christmas Week

Boy, it seems that Christmas comes quicker every year. We did manage to get the tree and lights up the middle of last week. Hubby dear is a light freak so we look like a calmer version of a disco! LOL
Just a note to remember that this time of year, many desperate people do stupid things and innocents are affected. Watch yourself out in public and at home, too. A dear friend of ours who lives in our condos was robbed at her doorway yesterday at gun point. Mind you, we are the quietest of communities with the most excitement usually being a car towed from a private parking spot. It truly frightened her and she readily gave up her purse. Smart gal!
On a happier note, I finished a portrait last evening of a dear friend's little girl, Alex. Alex is a happy go lucky cutie pie who recently decided to devour a bright blue permanent marker! Wonder if her lips are still blue? Oh My!!! So here is my version of Sweet Alex.
May all your hopes and dreams come true in the coming New Year. Peace to all.
