Creative Thursday

While walking my kids to school this morning, the leaves were falling off the trees. My little girl was delighted to pick up red and orange sugar maple leaves. It reminded me of the paintings I saw on Etsy by Marisa Haedike, in Los Angeles. She paints daily and post them on her blog, Creative Thursday. Every painting has a wonderful story behind it. Here are a few of her precious work, which made me think of my dear friends on a chilly autumn day. I think paintings are the sweetest gifts to give. It's very thoughtful and personal.
