Christmas tree

I am sure I had promised to write a while ago, but life has kept me busy. Today I decided I should share some pictures I have taken the past few days.

I love painting, for me it is like a meditation; I don't get time to paint very often though. Visiting friends' homes, going to the mall and seeing Christmas trees I wanted one myself, but I didn't want a real one nor a fake plastic one. So, given I am on vacation, I decided to paint one myself that will hopefully last a while.

I thought it would only take me 3 hours, 5 at most. It ended up taking me at least 8 hours out of several days, today I finally finished it. I enjoyed a pineapple-ginger smoothie and a cup of pineapple-ginger tea with Lauren's mug in the process. Both were pineapple-ginger because I am trying my best to not let a cold win. The smoothie consisted of: 1 pineapple, 8 dates, 2 hand fulls of spring mix, 1/4 inch of ginger and just a little bit of water to get it all to blend. The tea: a pot with water, the pineapple's rind, an inch or two of ginger, a cinnamon stick, and lime and honey just before drinking.

I hope you enjoy the pictures and are having fun while getting ready for Christmas my friends! I am grateful for knowing you and hope for all the best!

 The tree has different layers of colors, this is the beginning of the second one
