My resolution for this year is simply create as many images as I can.

It is such a beautiful warm day. I cannot believe this is the last day of December. I am cooking all day for New Year Eve dinner today. Instead of having a dinner in the New Year, we eat tonight. We also have a few fire works so this will be a fun night.

Magnolia garden in spring is beautiful. But it is also beautiful right now in winter. The garden is decorated with all kind of camellia. Not only the flowers in the trees are breathtaking but also the pedals on the ground are heavenly. If you walk around the garden, you will forget about all earthy problems and bring you into the dream land.

I love small things. They cover all over my desk. When I use my desk, I need to move around those so I can find my work place. I heard it is better to eliminate unnecessary items so that our lives will be more functional. You must be joking me! What the sad life it will be if I am surrounded by only necessary things.

This morning I bought a calendar and planner for the next year. It used to be January 1st to start all new year plan. Now as soon as Christmas is over, I am ready for the coming year. I am filling up the planner and thinking about what I should do for next. It might be a good idea to slow down and enjoy the end of this year.

It is a beautiful Christmas morning. My granddaughter opened up so many presents and had a hot chocolate for her breakfast. Merry Christmas everyone.

It rained today. I wish it were snow so I could have felt Christmas. It has been so long since I saw snow. White Christmas would be wonderful.

My Christmas break is finally started. I am ready to paint again! I am so happy to wake up in the early morning and start painting with a cup of coffee. I love quiet and cold morning time.

I have one more week for holiday break. I painted quite a lot during this break. It is very nice to wake up early in the morning and have a cup of nice coffee before day break. I do not have any plan for the day and just think about what to paint. Isn’t it wonderful?
