...EARLY BIRDING EXTENDED THIS WEEK!!!

JOY AND PEACE THIS HOLIDAY WEEK Okay, I give.  I DID stay in my pajama clothes all day on December 26th.  Not the ones I sleep in, the presentable outfit (don't leave the house in it!) that's acceptable in case someone came to the door.  It was bliss!  just to breathe out a happy sigh reflecting in peace and quiet after hectic days of prep and celebration.  I hope you are still following my " 'tis the spirt" artworks on my social media channels, especially Instagram: @joannesharpe.  I'm excited to announce that I will be  continuing this practice creating inspirational art every week in 2017 called "52 Whimsical Wishes".  I can't wait!  My brain is buzzing with tons of new creative adventures to share with you this year.
