Feast of the Epiphany

Dear Diary,

Well, today the last of the Christmas decorations are packed away for another year.  I left this little vintage bottle brush tree on my breakfast table because it has my word for the year on it.  The word joy is most associated with Christmas but that is one thing I won't be packing away.  I will feel joy every month as I change the calendar I made of my trip to Scotland.  Each image will bring back wonderful memories from the trip.

Another joyful moment came yesterday when my little Canon camera returned just one week from when I sent it back to be repaired.  They sent me a new one which actually is a bit of an upgrade from the other so I am thrilled.  Henry insisted that he be "Canon-ized" with his new beret, paint palette and brush.  I haven't got his wee easel made yet.
