Feliz Ano Novo! Happy New Year!


Can you see the two million people on the beach and street? That's New Years in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, friends. In my opinion, it's the very best New Years in the entire world. Everyone wears white, lights candles on the beach, jumps over 7 waves on one foot while making a wish, throws flowers in the ocean for the goddess of the sea and then the fireworks are beyond spectacular.


The best part, though, is the absolute love that can't help but explode between strangers. You really do feel part of a huge human family and you kiss and hug as many of those strangers (and your own friends and loved ones too, of course ;) as you can. Then you dance on the street all night, watch the sunrise and walk back to your Vovó's apartment. You wish her good morning and a Happy New Year, wrap her in billions of love, and go to bed.


It is in this spirit that I Thank You for being a friend of Organic Pink Lady this past year. I appreciate your enthusiasm, support, friendship and encouragement more than you can imagine. Thank you. May all of our truest dreams be realized in this dawning decade.

Love,
Juliette

A Flowering Tree



Here are the ornaments I made for my Ornament Swap friends. There were 10 different designs. I made them double sided with a gold thread sandwiched between the two sides for hanging. You can sort of see almost all of them in the photos.

That was fun :)

Tiny Tree with Teeny Tiny Lights with Handmade Ornaments



This tiny tree (the tip of my friends' tree) is my Xmas tree this year. It's only about 2.5 feet tall but I did string teeny tiny lights on it. What a sweet Xmas it has been, sitting around my tree, basking in all of its darlingness, several times a day and night. I've especially enjoyed all the handmade ornaments I received! I didn't even bring out any of my other ornaments! The second swap in which I participated was organized by Nicole of freshlyblended. There were 10 of us in my group.


From left to right, Thank You:
1. Gabrielle 2. Courtney 3. Theresa
4. Annie 5. Kelly 6. Susan
7. Krisi 8. Claresa and 9. Suzi

What fun! It was like Xmas in my mailbox for a full couple of weeks! Thank you, everyone! I love them all :)

Ornament Swap


Recently, my studio has spread from "the studio", to a table in another room, to a couch, to yet another table and, the floor in another room! Ah, the holidays, what fun it has been to make and send off so many packages. Three of my packages were sent to Lola, Louise and Annette. I don't know these wonderful people in person, but I made and sent them each an ornament. And Annette, Bree and Jennifer don't know me personally either, but they made and sent me an ornament each! It was

The

organized by the ever creative Louise Gale! Our challenge was to create 3 ornaments using only red, green or gold (black and white were allowed as well). I'll show you the ones I made, but first, marvel at the amazing ones I received!

This one was made by Annette, in Australia :)

And this one by Bree :)

And this one by Jennifer Phillips :)

Thank you Annette, Bree and Jennifer!

It's ALL about LOVE



Give Love! Don't be afraid! Give your Love away! It'll be okay! Love is Life!

I Love this song and animation by MC Yogi
The colors, the sound, the words, the everything.

This One Is For Cyclists


Know any cyclists? Know any cyclists who looove climbing mountains? Know any cyclists who looove climbing mountains that get steeper and steeper, where their only companions are the pikas?

Something like

this :) ?

This is a card I designed for Organic Pink Lady. You can get it right here.
There are two slightly different versions in the set. If you'd like more than one of either design or both designs, awesome! Just let me know.

It's never too late to send Festive Greetings!




Oooo I've been busy stocking my little online shop with lots of cards recently.
There are 12 "Festive Trees", printed as "posting cards", from a collection of 36.



I may have a few more printed, we'll see.



Do you know what "posting cards" are? I think I made the term up.
Essentially, they're part postcard, as in you write on the reverse side,
yet they're part greeting card, in that you send them in envelopes.


They're sort of like prints too. Special.


You could even give one, or an assorted set, as a lovely gift.



I listed 3 sets of 4 different cards. Most of them you can get individually too.
If you'd like a particular design/number, I'm happy to accommodate pretty much any request.



In fact, if you'd like regular folding cards instead of "posting cards", well, no problem,
they're absolutely sweet as folded cards too.



There are lots of other goodies in my Etsy Shop. Come visit :)


Happy December, friends. I love December.
