Peace and Blessings to You

Hello from Manila!  It's been a while!  Big life change for me, one that does not include blogging and crafting on my spare time.  Oops!  I forgot: my new life does not have time to spare either.  But there's 2011, and I resolve to get back into this thing that I loved doing.  The piece above is my first one from Manila.  I will blog more about Manila... and I don't even know where to begin.  Inspiration sits in every turn!  We do this thing here called Misa de Gallo, which is really a novena.  9 days before Christmas, folks get up early to hear a full mass at 4:30 am, just when the roosters crow in the morning.  It ends at 6-ish, so between that and work time, I am painting.  This was today's piece.  So, peace and blessings to everyone!
