It's a wonderful time of year... and Santa has been spotted at various locals here in ABQ...

Time to get the tree trimmed...the wreathe on the door.... the lights in the windows....ham in the oven... music playing.... fire in the fireplace..... stockings hung with care.... lists made and checked twice (have you been naughty or nice?).....cookies baked....loved ones loved... and a chill is in the air...maybe some snow? .... or a little Ho Ho Ho.....

(WONDERFUL WISHINGS for ABC Wednesday )

Santa knows...

Went to a bunch of fabulous art shows last night ..... and saw some incredible art, and even more incredible people. I will definitely post some photos as soon as possible... but in the meantime; I will be out and about today doing even more wonderful things --all related to art.

On the plus side... I have a couple places interested in selling/ showing some of my work... and I sold my one and only entry in the OffCenter Arts show. Freakin' awesome.

Saw Santa about a week ago.. he was passing out promos for the Pawn Shop nearby. He was jolly and friendly .. . and so much of what I assumed "Mr. Nick" would be like. Plus -- he was ultra cool in his Ray Bans....
