Hey Reader,

Are you ready for the holidays? 😊

Our Christmas tree is finally decorated, and we've been cutting out paper snowflakes with the children. Holiday spirit is here!!

It's a busy time... I aim to make it as light as possible, but it's still very intense with holiday preparations and children's end-of-year activities 😅.

I hope you are able to find peace and joy in these days!

And now, let's do our weekly "DRAW Newsletter" 😊.

D: Drawing

We've been drawing backgrounds this month at the Kawaii Drawing Club®, and preparing for the holidays at the same time.

This was one of our projects. 👇🌸❄️

I would like to send you the WARMEST holiday wishes with this artwork, and to say how blessed I feel that you are in my world.

Thank you. ❤️ Happy holidays!!!!!!!

And here are some of the magical winter landscapes created by our Kawaii Drawing Club® members 🥰.

R: Resource

I was looking for a good "pastel rainbow" palette, and came across this tool, called ColorKit. It has the BEST pastel rainbow! 😍

I hope you find inspirations there for your next project.

A: Affirmation

Of course, end-of-year is the time of reflection and making plans for next adventure 😄.

At the same time (to me) it's the time of personal "cleaning" – both emotionally and physically.

I've come to realize that in order to let go of something, I need to first process it – feel it, acknowledge it, say to it "I see you".

Without this step, letting go turns into simply suppressing whatever it is that we want to let go of...

So here is this week's affirmation:

I also want to clarify here that accepting is NOT the same as approving of something or agreeing with it.

Acceptance is a simple act of acknowledgment: "Yes, this exists".

W: Wonder

Here is a question to wonder about this week:

Merry Christmas!!!! I hope you have a magical holiday season. 🎄

With love,
Tatyana
