Introducing a New Feature at Soartful

Another wonderful week full of art to look at and blogs to

read. I love it.

For this week, I thought we would have a Christmas Theme.

When I saw this image it was love at first sight. I love the

gentle pastels. It inspired me.....I hope it does you.

This is my piece.

I always feel a bit special whenever one of my pieces

is added to a sampler or slide show on a challenge.

I want to do the same thing for you. You are all

special as are your art pieces but it is nice

to be extra special from time to time. Each week I will be

picking out 3 pieces to be on my 'Extra Special' list.

They will be posted at the end of each new challenge post.
