The little things do matter, beautifully said, Stella. I think these collages would be wonderful printed as a set of Christmas cards. They are so fun and quirky.

“Let us remember that we have a light inside of us. When we tap into it and share this gentle flicker with others no matter how small, it makes a difference.” Thank you for the reminder, Stella!

Van Gogh turned out to be my favorite collage - I kept returning to him again and again, something about that look in his eyes from behind all those books, glasses, and coffee cups is just so kind of mischievously delightful! They're all lovely though, what a fun inspiration. Merry Christmas!

I love the Nutcracker story. What a great way to focus, thinking of the first timers and the last timers. Enjoy your break!

I love all of these creations, Stella! Especially the first one with that exuberant little dog--he reminds me of my little Killian! The story of the conductor will stay with me. I’ve often been excited to be doing something for the first time, but the last time has such a poignancy. We usually do not know when we’re doing something for the last time until it’s already done. What a gorgeous energy that has! Wishing great love & beauty in the coming year, Stella.
