Merry Christmas! A few days ago, I wanted to make some art for my home. Since, I have been doing a lot of watercolor  art journaling pages  and YouTube videos ,  I thought I would use that style for this painting. In addition to watercolors, I used my acrylic paint markers for the ornaments and headpiece. Then, I used red glitter on her top. This "celebrate" girl is encouraging us to celebrate the birth of Christ and think about all the good He offers us. If you need comfort and peace this season, He is here for us. Also, she is inspiring us to celebrate ourselves and all the big and small things we did throughout the year. Give yourself the gift of appreciation. You are doing a great job, really! Ron and I are wishing you all a wonderful Christmas! We hope this art and message fills your home and heart with comfort and joy. God bless!
