Like snowflakes floating gently,
unexpectedly to earth,
small kindnesses touch our lives.
First one, and then another
and another,
until at last the world is
bright and shining with goodwill.
And once again... its Christmas
This Christmas, I would like to feature a long time friend and artist, Donna Weale. Many of us have fondly known Donna as "Queenie D" on the forums, and have enjoyed a long friendship with her for many years. Those of us that have been recipients of her handicrafts, have been doubly blessed. Her stitcheries and dolls are all exquisitely made and eye candy for any home or
tree at Christmas! Donna and her husband, Gareth, live in Ontario, Canada. They have two grown children and a little grandson they adore! Donna is creative in many ways. I mentioned she makes lovely dolls and ornaments, but over the years I have found her to be very gifted in writing. No one can describe the Northern Lights or an ocean trip viewing whales like Donna can! Her words are always so magical and she is able to take the reader on the most wonderful enjoyable adventures!
The following pictures are of her Christmas tree a couple years ago. all the ornaments, she made by hand. I will add a couple more pictures of my own of items she made for me as well. Thanks Donna for your friendship and sharing your talents !
Donna and Gareth
Wishing you a Merry Christmas !
