Art Challenge December 12

Festive!

There are many days of celebration during the month of December. 

Some are religious holy days. Many of them celebrate the winter solstice.

Whether you celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Festivus,

or many others, the common thread is lighting the dark days of winter.

What better way to buoy our spirits during these too-short days

than with warm gatherings of friends and family?

The challenge this week is to take 

any of the words above for inspiration

(or come up with your own) 

and create something festive.

What do holiday gatherings mean to you?

How do you keep your spirits up when the stresses of the season

make you feel like doing anything but celebrating?

Any kind of creation whether it is digital, painted, fiber art,

jewelry, cards or tags, photography, assemblage,
or anything else, is welcome.

(Our friends in the Southern hemisphere will have 
a little extra challenge to imagine the days are short and dark 

even though you are going into high summer!

So sorry to make you work harder, but of course we are envious too :)

So, Happy Creating, and we will gather the results on 

Sunday the 18th to display in our little gallery!

****************

A note about our weekly challenge during the 

two weeks of Christmas and New Year:

The Christmas challenge will be a two-week challenge

(December 19 - January 1)

so we hope it will give you plenty of time during 

the busy days to continue to play with us. 

Stay tuned for the topic . . . I think it will be a fun one! 

We will be playing with Mr. Linky during those two weeks,

so you will leave the info for your entry via the Mr. Linky method

which many of you have done on other blogs already.

There will be another post to explain everything, so don't worry!

And this will only be for the weeks of December 19-January 1,

after which we will go back to posting the normal way,

i.e. leaving a comment and having your entry posted

in our results gallery the following Sunday.

So stay tuned for more info on that, and remember that

today's challenge will take place the normal way!
