Let the spirit of Christmas.
Loosen any threads of self-concern.
That still bind you from giving all that you are.
To friends ~ To family ~ To all life ~ To yourself. ~Ally.

The colours are beautiful, soft and a bit dreamy. Nice composition also. I think it goes very well with your writing :D.

[allyinspirit]

Thanks so very much @scrawly.

The writing comes from looking at the image and being able to 'hear' what it says to me. I feel that it's a message particularly for me this time. But it's one that can now be given to others as well.

It's telling me very simply that if I can let go of all my self-concern, I'll be able to genuinely 'BE there' for others. Which is what we really all want to be able to do ~ At this time of the year especially.

Wishing you all the joy of this season ~ And a brilliantly creative, brand new year. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

How pretty, Alison...
Happy Holidays, Happy Christmas, my dear friend!!

Thanks so very much @ackhoo. It's Christmas Eve here in Sydney ~ Getting late and so it's VERY quiet now. I expect to be woken up early by the kids in the street with their new toys. I hope you have a really happy Christmas too. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎

So pretty ! I love the composition and the colours very much <3 Gorgeous arrangement :)

[allyinspirit]

Thanks so much @veryspider. The arrangement was made by making the background first ~ An arrangement frozen in ice ~ And then as the ice melted floating the seeds and flowers on the water. Like any drawing or painting, I like to consider the background as much as the foreground.

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas and that your new year is very creative and filled with much happiness. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
