Christmas is Coming … #1

Christmas Cover, Front Christmas Cover, Back
The Holiday Issue is Coming … It’s at the printer in Erie, Pennsylvania with the final proof approved today.

Here’s sneak peek of the covers. Artist Michael Storrings created the art deco inspired cover illustration especially for this issue of Celebrate365. Santa flies through an art deco sky as his reindeer leap and bound, anticipating the task ahead. Non-traditional holiday hues –black, gray, white, gold, pink and fuchsia – lend a dreamlike quality and set the scene for the gift-filled morning to come.

Inside the Issue:

  • Meet Joellen Church, Landmark-Creations ornaments
  • Christopher Radko writes about how to decorate your dream tree.
  • All Decked Out for the Holidays, a century of change
  • Behind the Design with Maggie’s Memories
  • della Robbia, a Renaissance-Inspired Williamsburg Tradition
  • Pages and pages of Christmas-themed ornaments and folk art

It’s “Flipping” Wonderful!

It’s been a long time! You haven’t received an issue of Celebrate365 since spring.

Health issues took me away for several months. But, now we are back with a double issue.

This publication will combine late summer themes in the first half of the pages …

Then flip it over to this side …

Artist Linda Apple sets the tone for Halloween!

Just look into those eyes!

Cat Visions leads readers into the essence of the fall festivities with ornaments and folk artists.

Watch for more details to come.

Celebrating Christmas 2010!
