The Christmas Spirit??

What a whirlwind this Christmas season has become for me.  Since I opened the gallery 2 years ago, I've found that I almost dread Christmas.  Isn't that awful?  I LOVE Christmas!  I don't want to dread it!  But the festivities in Davidson the first weekend in December absolutely wear me out.  3 nights of chaos, although it's super great for sales....followed by an endless stream of custom orders....which is great.  But is that what Christmas has become for me?  A great season of sales and some extra cash?  Yuk.

I yelled at my kids countless times this week because they were cutting into my 'making custom orders' time.  I'm totally out of sync with my husband.  And, quite frankly, I'm a little depressed.  No fun.  I'm quickly losing the reason for the season.

Does anyone else find this happening to them?  Am I alone in this?

In the meantime, I managed to carve out some time to do more new inspiration pieces.  I'm loving this.  Taking my paintings and adding verses to them is making me so happy.  I think it's giving me a little meaning back....in many facets.

This print is the new Nativity scene I finished about 3 weeks ago.





This painting was HUGE!  4 feet to be exact.  I donated it to my church a few years ago.

And the 'All You Need is Love'.  Beatles inspired!


AND.....I finally made my poems into cards.  SUPER excited about these!

Oh, and before I end (and just to add a little more commercialism!), I'm having a 20% off sale.  You can purchase in the gallery OR online by clicking here.  Follow the 'Kristen Feighery Folk Art' link.

Merry Christmas.  And push a prayer or 2 out for me, if you don't mind, about my humbug attitude right now.  Or maybe just pray for my family who has to deal with me until Christmas!

In the meantime, check out this gorgeous song and it's beautiful words and harmonies.  This will put you in the true Christmas spirit!




Happy Sunday!

    Would you like your mother to take off work and come down early to help you? I am coming a week from Wed. but if you need me to come early, I will. Love you!

    By the way, the art with scriptures is amazing! I love the manger scene!

    Totally hear you and totally understand where you are coming from. I had several things I was "suppose" to do and I didn't do any of them. I made a nativity scene with my Lilly instead. It felt good. Slowing down is what I need and love in my life. Prayers coming your way. love you girl.
