Christmas is definitely in the air! Shopping malls are packed with busy shoppers. I was searching for the perfect Christmas Card this evening and I didn't find any. Though most of us who are conscious about the environment would most probably be sending out E-greeting cards to most of our friends, may they be personalized or a random image we have found somewhere.
Admit it, there's nothing better than a good old greeting card. There's a high level of sophistication in a black and white Christmas card. I find them very unique.
A handwritten heartfelt message is definitely priceless!
Happy Holidays and Bon Voyage to those travelling home early!

The meaning of life is giving your gift away."

Guess what: Either myself or my hubby took this photo.
I was drawn by the warmth and elegant simplicity of this home that would certainly harness creativity during winter time. The personal touches provided a welcoming atmosphere.
I can imagine morning and afternoon coffee in this indoor winter garden extension. The portrait on easel and heritage chandelier transcends drama and romantic charm into the space.
The hint of rouge tea light candle holder, a matching star, plaid throw
and cushion sends subtle "Noel" ambience.
The old refrigerator serves as a statement piece in the dining area.
Rustic bath with candles & potted plant add comfort and warmth
througout the freezing December.
It's definitely the perfect abode for an old soul.

For creativity to flow naturally,
regularly make quiet time for yourself,
to clear and refresh your mind.
Meditate.
Sit back, relax and let your mind
float freely on a hot-air balloon,
swim thru a deep blue ocean or soar into the sunset.
