Ho Ho Ho !

Marie, over at ZQuilts, gave me a wonderful dose of Ho Ho Ho yesterday... perked me up despite our stay-at-home weather. Her wise words were:

"Doing something makes doing more so much easier!"

She's right, y'know! I got up this morning, shook off the mopes, shoveled some snow and started taking pictures. Here's one of them (it's clickable).

"... makes doing more so much easier..."

So now, I'm writing this post... and when I finish,

"... makes doing more so much easier..."

I'm going to the studio to work on my Dec BJP, which I started around the 1st and have ignored ever since!

My greeting above is to everyone... Whatever your faith, whatever you believe in, whatever is your star, may it shine brightly and bring you peace and joy. My gratitude to all of you for your support and your shared creativity is overwhelming. Thank you!

Hugs! Robin

  1. The photo is lovely! And I'm sure you've found out many times how wise your friend is. Doing is really so much easier than just thinking about it. Thinking about it just makes us tired. Doing is about taking charge in some small way. Merry Christmas.

    Oh, that is so true! Thinking about it, avoiding it, putting it off, all make whatever it is larger and larger and larger. Doing it makes it a process to finish, and all of a sudden, it's done!

    Thank you!

  7. Thanks for passing on that bit of inspiration, Robin. Being a master procrastinator myself, I sometimes need the proverbial boot in the b*** to get going.
    I hope your holiday is the greatest and that Santa brings you lots of beady goodies.

  10. I'm so glad you found joy out your door. That santa hat on your signpost is great -- it makes me want to walk right up your lane...

    Sorry to hear about your close call but so glad everything turned out OK.

    I'm so grateful that I was ablt to meet you and learn from you this year. What a highlight that was! I too am behind on my BJP but it's OK for right now. There is joy to be scattered in other ways for me this week...
    I hope you are well and you find joy and delight in your work, Susan

  20. Merry Christmas, Robin! Sending love and light and respect..........your way. Your backyard looks like ours with all the snow but then it rained yesterday and we have lots of slush now. But it could have been worse - it could have been snow and we'd be up to our necks in white stuff. Hugs - Heidi
