Winter Forest of Paper Trees

I'm taking it easy tonight. As the world parties throughout the night to welcome the new year, I have actively decided, for once, to take the one night I try to celebrate to finish up some projects. I do so wholeheartedly, with a sincere promise to myself to make up for it with some fun and mischief in 2013.

With that said, here is my winter forest of paper paisley trees, my first creative project shared beyond my living room and into my digital garden.

I'm celebrating the remainder of the night with a champagne glass of hot jasmine green tea.

May the night be kind to all.
