Christmas Tree Hunting

This morning I spent figuring out ways to increase the traffic and visibility of my shop.  For starters I decided to utilize my Flickr account a bit better by uploading my vintage stock and my artwork there.  It's not finished yet (I have a bunch of photos still to upload) but take a peek if you'd like! :)

After a lovely lunch date with my Mom, we went off to find our Christmas tree!  Even though we don't usually chop it down ourselves, having a real tree has always been an essential in my family.  I truly can't even imagine having an artificial one.  To each their own, but there is just something happy about having the outside in during the Christmas season-- and oh, the smell. :)

Christmas is already feeling a bit different this year, but in good ways.  The house I grew up in sold (in 9 days!) at the end of October so we'll be celebrating in a different, smaller place than usual.  It's been truly amazing to me though, how much God has provided in this time of transition.  We've been challenged in new ways, but I'm thankful to say that it's only tightened the knit of my family.  I think I'm looking forward to this Christmas more than I have in some years.  

Now it just needs to snow! (I hope you heard that Big Guy). -^_^-
