A Mistletoe Moment

'Tis the season:
I'm scurrying around this week preparing for a holiday party, so I'm pausing for a little swig of eggnog
(no alcohol or I won't be scurrying much longer) and to re-post this little drawing from last December.
(You can read the original post here.)

I love fresh mistletoe, but it dries out so quickly, and even worse, it can drop its poisonous berries on the floor. So, this year, I found this adorable kit at Paper Source, one of my favorite shops. I'm not usually a fan of artificial flowers and plants, I must admit. Perhaps it's because paper starts out its life as a plant, but paper flowers retain a certain natural charm for me. Isn't it cute? It won't dry out or poison anyone, and I can use it again next year!

Next week looks to be a bit calmer—
I'm hoping to steal a day to draw and catch up on blog visits before Christmas. 
Cheers!

  4. What a charming illustration for the holidays! I had recently thinking about mistletoe (there was a small article in the local newspaper recently), but I haven't seen any real stuff yet this year. Great idea with the paper version to fill-in. Happy Holidays.

  5. What a beautiful holiday drawing! I'm glad you re-posted it because I didn't follow many blogs a year ago so I didn't see it then. Happy holidays :)
