Welcome to Paint Party Friday! This is a 'Fall Scene' done in my art journal (5"w x 7"h) in watercolour pencil. So are you starting to get ready for Christmas? I get stressed just thinking about it.

You seem to be painting and sketching more these days. Good for you. It's nice to have art as a hobby.
We are pretty much ready save a bit more baking and cleaning! We keep it very simple....when in doubt about gifts for any adults we give coffee, purdys chocolates or booze....tea is really a trend lately so that too can be added into the mix...teens get money, Cupcake does the kids!
Pretty scene Christine. Yes, I get stressed about Christmas too...now for the shopping, and lists, and double checking I've got everything. Still, it's not yet the 1st Dec. plenty of time to panic, lol.
That's a lovely scene. As for Christmas right now I can't really afford presents. Thankfully my family seem pretty accepting of that and don't really expect anything from me.
This is lovely. I refuse to get stressed about a date on the calendar! When I was first a single mom, I gave myself permission to do as much or little as I could. Being retired, and facing our health issues, meant that things certainly changed. That's the key to getting through these BIG traditions. I had so many years when I was alone Christmas Eve, kids at their dad's, that I had to rethink it. I do miss parties, now. But that's the way of things!
Hello, greetings. Lovely painting. When I was young, I used to be stressed about Christmas and made numerous plans to decorate the house and celebrate the feast. Now that I have grown older I take things easy and perhaps the real impact of Christmas will hit me during the second week of December. Best wishes
Yes, we start celebrating xmas right after the Halloween lights get put away. But I don't ever stress about it. Sorry to hear you are. Stop that, will ya?

This is so calm and peaceful, I love the pink leaved tree and the pink bricked house.
Beautiful artwork Christine. Happy PPF, Annette x

That is beautiful, Christine! I love your artwork. As for Christmas, I haven't started doing anything about it!
