Featured Artist For December





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  !
