ShoppingOne of my holiday gift-giving traditions is a sweet one — in several ways. I give fellow glass artist and good friend Heather Robyn Matthews of Heather Glass snickerdoodles every year on a plate from one of my older patterns called Ripple, because she loves both. We have been friends for ages — I did the flowers for her wedding to Tim Matthews about 28 years ago. Every year they have an absolutely killer Christmas party that I really look forward to seeing all of my other glass artist friends at. I bring the snickerdoodles and we all catch up.
