One of my postcards for my holiday correspondence (paperwhimsy face and dress from hannah andersson catalog)!

OK, I couldn't wait.......

...Until dec 1st to start posting pictures of decorations! I gotta tell you, this is my favorite time of year. I am surrounded by memories of my childhood, my children's childhood and make a nest of things that make me smile and remember stories...oh, so many stories!

Christmas is coming!

Ok, here is my plan! Starting on dec 1st, I will post 1 of my favorite decorations for christmas that I always put up! Some of them I made and some were gifts and some are 43 christmases old!
keep watching...

It's that time again?

Getting the jump on christmas! I tried a new technique which is really easy!
Clear plastic circle( I got mine from Tap Plastic store), decoupage image of your choice in reverse, glue circle on plastic sbowflake(from Michaels)...done! I like the floating effect!
My husband is outside putting tiny white lights on the blue spruce in the backyard...yay! When we first moved here 15 years ago, we planted this tree on the point in the backyard just so we could have a tree to light for the holidays. It was 8 ft tall. It is now 15ft tall! I will have to take a photo and post...it is really glorious, 1000 little lights.

happy thankgiving!

My goal for the month of december is to figure out how to manage my blog!!!!! So you will see some additions here that may or may not work.....If at first you don't succeed try, try, try!

Wishing anyone who checks into my limitted blog...happy thanksgiving!
