* Showered with gifts ...

Naturally, Kathleen and Ivan's presence is the biggest present (pun intended) .. ha ha .. however, on New Year's Eve we were overwhelmed and delighted with the generosity and love of true friendship, and gifts galore.

As you know, Habibi has a terrible time tolerating the rainy season thunder storms as well as the fireworks which are very much a part of this culture.  He was presented with a "Thunder Coat".  I don't have a photo of it on his yet as is needs a little adjustment, however it is a hot new item for pets.  It's a beautiful soft coat which fits Habibi's body snugly, fastens with velcro allowing him to feel secure and I'm sure in many ways like he is being 'held'.  Very cool and with another strip of magic fastener it will fit him perfectly. 

I received a magical bag which I adore, fabulous  CD's, incense, which I find difficult to find here and incense holders which are impossible to find here. 

Look at that beading!  ... and the colours.  I am absolutely in love.

The last gift blew me away.  I cannot and will not explain it.  It was a type of miracle which I am more or less still processing.  I did a double journal spread about it today.  For me, it's about acceptance and gratefulness and pure light.  I am in many ways still processing. 

 

It felt good to be back in my Studio today ... can't go too long without creating!  Thanks for dropping in.  Take care ... see you soon.  xxoo  Donna
