I am finding difficulty in motivating myself towards the joy that fills ones heart during the coming festive season. I will make a special effort, this year especially, to direct empowerment to those who (according to my belief standards) gracefully add balance .

Distrubed by the actions of the over stuffed gobblers of the world, I have mustard up extra effort to unruffle and project gracious light.
Previously, I spoke of gratitude for my cyber♥s that over the past 2 yrs. have inspired and brightened my journey. Thankful for meeting so many of you, from every corner (notice my globe on right side? I can see yooooouuuu!) : )
One such blog friend, Lynn, who is the artist/shop owner of Clothes Encounters, here in town (North Bay Ontario Canada) provided me with a very unique piece to give to one of you.
I put all you names in my fav. knitted bucket hat, had my house gnome oversee and with eyes closed tightly ,,, a wave of my magic wand.....

I quack on and on about handmade gifts. I feel that your time is valued (priceless) to those who are ♥special to recieve your gifts.
Many creative♥s (esty.com) I have come to meet, I am in "awe" of their passion, courage and commitment.
So take a look, this year, to the small up and coming entrepreneurs.
For my www.etsy.com fav's you can find me as a buyer....Prudence Puddleduck. I.m still "under the bed" about passion, courage and commitment.
