E is for Easter?

The Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country and they LOOOOOOOOOVE Christmas like nobody's business. So I was planning to grab a fun Easter shot for today. This is the closest sign of the holiday I've seen so far.

All Saints' Day

November 1st is All Saints' Day and is a special holiday in the Philippines. Most people will have the day off work to remember their dead loved ones. Families will gather at grave sites for the whole day. Even staying over night.

Occupy Gratitude

On the last live episode of Q for 2011 they were discussing the idea that having an 'attitude of gratitude' is good for your health. It always seems that Thanksgiving and Christmas are the times of year when we think about what we are thankful for. Most people would agree that we should focus on this more during the whole year, and yet most of us do not.

Happy New Year!

Cheeseblarg Hanukkah Colouring Page

I love reading the blog "I'd Like Cheese On My Entire Family". Jodee sometimes does interactive things so us readers get to participate. So, I coloured in this:

I used my "mini paint set" that I picked up at the Minneapolis Institute of Art this fall. This was my first time using it so I had some issues with the colour layering and texture. (Sorry about your face, Jodee!)
