Merry Christmas Everyone

Its been a bit of blur around here lately and I'm off to do my Christmas shopping so you have an idea of how far behind I am. Everything always gets done though. I going to take a month off work to reenergize and get rebalanced. That decision alone has lightened the burden and I feel liberated. Despite not having done the quilting for Caits quilt, not finishing the advent calendar, or the small hanging, no christmas baking and haviing the tree fall down yesterday, I am approaching the upcoming Christmas with joy and inner peace that I wish for all of you

These are our kids!! Our greatest gift.

Lights Camera Action

We exchanged our old Christmas lights for new LED lights - big time energy savers. However we threw out a ton of old lights when we moved - now I wished Id saved them for the exchange - if I'd only known there would be an exchange -ohh well -aren't they pretty!

I've made gingerbread houses with the kids over the years. Its something I've always enjoyed. This year I made this little house from pre made gingerbread and Pat decorated some cookies. I was inspired by the pretty little vintage houses made of pulp board and frosted with glitter. I was pleased with my results and wanted to share them with you. Unbeknownst to me Pat got into the action and has already helped himself to a few candies. He took them off the back-where no one could see them gone!!!

December 1 - Anticipation Begins

I promised my husband that I would wait until Dec 1 before starting to decorate - Its here so I am starting. Yeahh!!
