Tucson and Japanese Christmas cards

 ...

For me this is the Tucson Christmas. Snow and Cactus !

The Japanese Christmas Cards are so crazy I adore them. Lots of moving parts and music !

Wish I knew Hallmark had a Japanese office, I could have worked there

instead of California.

Oh la la la !

Daughter really is such an exciting, wonderful, clever artist.

Here are three of her cards.

I want this painted on a outside wall on my home !
