from my home, to yours.....









from my "letters from grandpa" series of encaustic pieces.

part of a sweet letter from my grandpa,

"I suppose excitement is running high at your house.
 Christmas with two bright energetic children.
What fun.
 Lots of work for mom and dad-
 that makes family life interesting and adds deep meaning to living."




from my home
to yours,

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

LOVE,

ERIN

waiting for Him.

christmas cheer on the back porch

mr. dan's snow shoes
an old plaid cooler
a white motel chair
 (from a 'no-tel' motel no doubt) 
and a christmas banner which used to hang in downtown franklin

set the scene on my back porch....

(mr. dan collects all those golf  'eggs' from the back yard)

snow!

our very first snowfall of the year!
