You may (or may not) have noticed I’m writing this post on Monday and not Friday. And thus begins a change to the Copper House North Weekly Roundup. (Note: I’ve now published 93 editions of the Roundup! Not all of them are posted on this website, though.)
Since July, my creative energy has been shifting toward a new love of video and, most recently, animation. The change has been incredibly exciting. I find myself wanting to spend ALL my creative time in this way. 
The intent of this newsletter has been to add value to your life in the form of beauty, creativity, and encouragement. And writing it has been a wonderful creative outlet for me, too. A way to express myself as an artist and connect with an audience who appreciates and supports my work.
But with this change comes a deep desire to continue learning how to express myself on camera, both personally and creatively. And I’m going to lean into that.
Which means writing less.
I squirmed a little when I wrote that last sentence. Because, as it would be, feeling and hearing the click of the keys on my keyboard is enticing this very moment. But that just means I’ll never stop writing entirely. I am going to stop writing on a schedule, though.
Now’s a good time for this change with Christmas in 10 days (!) and our annual ski trip soon after. This is when I typically fall out of my normal routine, anyway. But when I write again, whether it’s a month from now or 5, I’ll give my best to make it worth your time to read. In the meantime, you’ll be able to find me on YouTube!
Highlights
- We’ve been listening to Carols & Hymns by Warren Barfield (remember the farmhouse story?). It’s the first time he’s recorded music in years. A blessing to listen to.
- Today marks 7 months of growing out my natural hair. Still hanging in there. 😉
- The final snow globe animation I alluded to in my last email.
- If you enjoy bloopers, there are a few at the end of my latest video.
- If you haven’t grabbed the 2026 wall calendar, it’s not too late.
- My parents will be visiting this week. It’s been too long since we’ve been together.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Love,
Christina
