  1. Wonderful! I have great faith in people--in humanity. When we know about problems, we usually will step up. Thanks for spreading this video. This is the true meaning of Christmas. :)

  3. Hi Serena!
    Thanks for getting back to me about your process. I, too, have Kelly Rae's book and am loving it!! I've been a big fan of hers ever since I stumbled upon her blog about six months ago...She's very inspiring to me. Such a small world. Hope your having a lovely weekend!! Definitely see Scrooged when you can, it is a riot!!

    Happy Holidays!!

  5. Isn't that the truth? Christmas has just turned into a greed fest for so many people. And then they spend the next year trying to pay off all the gifts they charged. Crazy, isn't it?

  9. Hi Serena, I'm just catching up on your blog and the video was so right. I've chosen to spend less this year and celebrate more quietly.
    I love your mixed media piece, I have Kelli Rae's book, too, but haven't tried that yet. Where do you get the rub ons? The butterfly is a good choice.
    Thanks for the idea of creating a board for 2009. I'm going to try that.

  11. Serena, Thanks for your understanding and supportive comments. Yes, I've got to do something different this coming year. I don't want the holidays to sneak up on me ever again. And I want to live, not only during holiday time, but every day much more simply, more intentionally. This is my intention for the coming year. It's high time to put the spark back into life. Because really, if not now, when?

    I would love to see your video when you upload it! Peace, love and joy to you and yours! Serena Pia

  12. Great video Serena! It's so easy to get caught up in useless spending, when a bit of our money could mean life and health to someone else.
    Thanks.
