The in between.

The InBetween was inspired by Christmas Day. That time just before going down and a seeing the christmas tree for the first time on Christmas morning, a place where anything is possible, dreams are still in full color. It was like the magic still hung in the air and santa has just slipped up the chimney #foreverdrawing #watercolor

2025/12/28 Edited to

The feeling of that magical moment before Christmas morning is truly unforgettable. I vividly remember waking up early on Christmas Day, when the house was still quiet, and the anticipation of seeing the Christmas tree for the first time made everything feel possible. It’s a unique blend of excitement and calm—a moment that holds the promise of joy and surprises yet to come. Many people experience this 'in-between' time differently, but what remains consistent is the enchanting atmosphere where dreams seem almost tangible. The idea that Santa has just slipped up the chimney adds to the sense of wonder, making the holiday feel alive with stories and imagination. In recent years, capturing this fleeting moment through art and photography has become a lovely tradition. Watercolor paintings, like those tagged #watercolor, beautifully express the softness and warmth of the scene. Similarly, illustrations labeled #foreverdrawing reflect the timelessness of these memories. Whether you’re a parent watching your children’s eyes light up or simply someone cherishing nostalgia, the magic of this moment is a reminder to appreciate the simple joys. It invites us to pause, reflect, and embrace the warmth of the holiday spirit before the day’s festivities unfold. Sharing these experiences through art and storytelling helps keep the spirit alive year after year, making each Christmas morning a little more special than the last.

It’s the liminal spaces—those weird, unexplainable voids during transitions. No longer where you were, but not quite where you’re going. It’s uncomfortable, uncertain, and somehow exactly where you’re meant to be. #womenwithtattoos #floridalifestyle #transitions #deepthought #travels

The “in-between” phase of healing nobody talks about
