Blogmas Day 23: All That is Christmas Poet: Julie Hebert

Christmas is more than just presents,It's love and harmony.Together with friends and family,
Laughing and being funny.
We sing so many carols,
That we can't forget the tunes.
Christmas is so very exciting,
Especially in the afternoons.
Mornings are about Santa,
Exchanging our lovely gifts.
But afternoons are about loving,
All those who we feel fit.

Blogmas Day 22: A Holiday Wish Poet: John Kendrick Bangs

When Santa Claus doth visit me

With richly laden pack of toys,

And tumbles down my chim-i-ney

To scatter 'round his Christmas joys,

I trust that he will bring the kind

That can be shared, for it is true

Past peradventure to my mind

That joy is sweeter shared by two

. 

I never cared for solitaire.

I do not pine for lonely things.

I love the pleasure I can share

Because of all the fun it brings.

A selfish pleasure loses zest

With none to share it with you by,

And shrinks the longer 'tis possest,

While joys divided multiply.

Blogmas Day 21: A Time for Joy by Catherine Pulsifer

A time for joy

For the girls and boys

Xmas brings hope

Of all good things.

Decorations and trees

Turn the lights on please

Good friends and family too

Presents and surprises for you.

A day to reflect 

A day of respect

For all you have been blessed

Let your joy be expressed.

May this Christmas bring

All special things

May you find happiness and joy

May you even receive a toy.

Blogmas Day 18: Christmas Is A Time by Catherine Pulsifer

Excitement and anticipation 

For boys and girls

A time for dreams and whishes.

A time for families to come together

A time for friends to celebrate

A time for fun and good cheer

A time for caroling and music too.

A time to decorate the house

And trim the tree.

A time to wrap the presents

And fill the stockings.

But at Christmas time we 

Should remember that first Christmas

Take the time to thank God above

For sending His son for those He loves.

Blogmas Day 5: Christmas

Every time a hand reaches out
To help another….that is Christmas
Every time someone puts anger aside
And strives for understanding
That is Christmas
Every time people forget their differences
And realize their love for each other
That is Christmas
May this Christmas bring us
Closer to the spirit of human understanding
Closer to the blessing of peace!

Blogmas Day 4: Christmas is a holiday for friends - Nicholas Gordon

Christmas is a holiday for friends,

However they may be, or not, related.

Remember that the three wise kings were strangers

In search of one remote, uncanny dream.

So may we all be far more than we seem,

Together bound for dark and haunting changes,

More lovely for the loves we have created

Along the lonely paths from means to ends,

Stumbling towards that star of Bethlehem.

Blogmas Day 11

So I didn't do  a font this time I just drew a cookie sort of Christmas tree and then when I finished I realised I didn't have my colours so it's just a plain tree with plain decorations because I have 0 idea how to organise myself for a simple drawing.

Looking back at it I might revisit it when I get my colours so you'll probably see it on the blogs twitter page. 

Blogmas Day 10

So today's font is all about a dripping/icing effect because today I get to finish the Christmas cakes I made over a month ago which for the past 3-4 weeks have been getting a weekend treatment of brandy.

                  CAKE! CAKE! CAKE! CAKE!

I actually don't like fruit cake, it's way too dense for me, but it's been a hell of a fun process going from making them from scratch by myself to icing and boxing them up for sale.

Blogmas Day 9

This is a true representation of what had happened to me recently. I started blogmas with all of these ideas and such but as the past 9 days have gone by, I've slowly been losing my creativity and imagination. Hence today's Blogmas.

 start of with your guide lines, I pressed a little too hard on my pencil which resulted in darker and heavier lines than usual which really were a little more difficult to erase later on.

Spell out your chosen word in your chosen font, make it look good to yourself and chance if necessary. seems like I was toon heavy handed with the pencil here too.

I ended up fine lining this word twice on this occasion for 2 seperated reasons in 2 different fine liners. 1. The first new fine liner is half the thickness of my usual one and 2. when you erase the pencil from beneath said fine liner, it smudges in every direction. 

Erase your guide lines, I mean clearly you no longer need them. Tada you have a word which should be surrounded by things it creates but today it created this. I thought I'd just show you.
