Colour Collaborative: December
Celebrate
This word, especially at this time of year, is a very glittery kind of word I think.
For me, it conjures up images of gold and silver mostly. We celebrate success with gold, silver and bronze don't we? We celebrate New Year's parties in gold and silver streamers and banners. Teachers celebrate good work with gold stars (at least, they used to, back in my day!)
Celebrate is a shiny and bright word and the festive season at the end of the year is a shiny and bright little interval in the dark days of winter.
But to celebrate also means to honour or praise publicly and so I'd like to do that too.
That's what that box of teeny tiny baubles up there is all about. Isn't that just a celebration of colour? Doesn't it just make you want to celebrate inside, just looking at it? It's got it all, shine, glitz, sparkle and lots of glorious colour. I find it quite heavenly.
So much do I revere this little box of baubles in fact, that I haven't dared remove them from their tiny little resting places and put them to any use. What way is that to celebrate their lusciousness?
Celebration is about doing something special and enjoyable to mark a significant day and we all have our different traditions and customs for this time of year.
I find it's the little things that make me happy. A pile of handmade stars, seeing the gifts under the tree and remembering that childhood thrill of anticipation. A glimpse of a long treasured and favoured decoration, the joy of discovering today's picture behind the cardboard door and of course all 3 of us, snuggling cozily, half entangled together, in the glow of the twinkling tree.
Whatever your celebration looks like, I hope you enjoy it.

What is The Colour Collaborative?
All creative bloggers make stuff, gather stuff, shape stuff, and share stuff.
Mostly they work on their own, but what happens when a group of them work together?
Is a creative collaboration greater than the sum of its parts? We think so and we hope you will too.
We'll each be offering our own monthly take on a colour related theme, and hoping that in combination
our ideas will encourage us, and perhaps you, to think about colour in new ways.
