Making Memories....

When I became a grandmother, a motivating force took hold.....and that was to create memories for my GRAND an wonderful children.  Each holiday, birthday, & gathering became an opportunity to gently place, within their memory and within their hearts, moments of magic.  My wish is that these moments form the foundations and building blocks of the way they will remember their childhood.
This year we gathered for Thanksgiving in a large barn.....taking down my studio space and creating a wonderland......

No one was allowed to even peak into our Thanksgiving space until we all opened the door, together, to begin our meal.......the candles were lit, the music was playing.  The adults gathered around the fire pit, waiting for the door to open, while quietly, the 7 grand girls arranged themselves before the barn door and softly began their serenade.  A song sung in rounds to prepare us for the unveiling.  Angel voices called to our hearts to open.
Wine glasses raised in toasts, gratitudes shared, laughter and joy rose up to the heavens.....
Dog's everywhere.....barking, leaping, stealing food.....
cousin moments shared ....
laughter on a trampoline......



the soothing of the fire flames at the end of the day......

moments of memories......encased in gratitude.
