Ooooo - that makes me think of a driftwood tree! How wonderful would that be? Driftwood and shells, starfish, and some small glass bottles filled with white and gold sand? Not together of course - but separate. Oh to have a home on the beach where I could create such a tree! I'm taking the tree in the dining room down by the way - I'm certainly not feeling in the holiday spirit in that house anymore.

"The sunlight flickers through the trees and I am mesmerized every day. The bouquet of sea salt and eucalyptus that captivated me when I was sixteen is still here. In Montecito, I've been able to express my deepest dreams. Here I feel my best." --John Salandino Photography by Lisa Romerein
The wind gently rustles the leaves of the boungainvillea outside my window. A single leaf spirals towards the cool ground. It begins a dance with a gust of sea air and scratches across the sidewalk until landing silently on the soft lawn. A lone black bird caws loudly. A dog barks up the street while the dryer thrums its low song -- the heart beats of the day.
The first day as a mother changed me forever. My heart grew to the point it might shatter into a million stars the moment I saw the face of my son. Because of this new capacity for so much love, I simply never saw the world or anything in it the same again - It was oh, so much better, so much richer, than I can ever put into words.

I feel homesick looking at this picture. All that lovely bright light. Have a great Christmas Carla

Hi Isa,
Looks like everyone is starting to get into the Christmas spirit. I loved the tree on the beach. Hope your not working too hard.
Hugs
