KNOCK MY SOX OFF November '11

Each month, I try to do a post of things that just

KNOCKED MY SOX OFF.

Some times, I use photos from blogs or the net

and sometimes, I use my own photos.

If I feature YOU and your blog, please feel free to take the

" GOT MY SOX KNOCKED OFF AT SWEET NOTHINGS."

I would be honored to see it on your sidebar....:>)

One of the MAJOR things that KNOCKED MY SOX OFF this month was my youngest grandgirl, DEEDS, here with her beautiful mom just after she won FIRST PLACE in her writing for UYL...for the whole district.

 CONGRATULATIONS, DEEDS. and LOTS of love to you, my little smart cookie....

OMYGOSH....I am sooo in LUV with this awesome chair that

CENTSATIONAL GIRL created for the popular magazine, DIY.

Go see how she did this and maybe you can create one like it.

THIS is the living room of the English cottage in the older movie, THE HOLIDAY.
I  love the casualness of this beautiful room. The colors used are so restful but not one bit boring. I get a good feeling just looking at it.   ♥

THE SUMMER PORCH

ROSEMARY is gathering beautiful, natural
items for her Christmas decorating.
Her hubby gathered these beautiful berries for her from the swamp. How romantic is THAT !

Photos from MATTHEW MEAD and I am sooo gonna make a 

GREEN APPLE WREATH.......

I just LUV it and one thing I CAN do crafty is USE A HOT GLUE GUN...

not saying that I don't come away with 1st degree burns sometimes...

I am off to Walmart for GREEN APPLES...

but where will I find a pretty wreath like this one? Maybe HOBBY LOBBY.

THIS beautiful photo belongs to PAT

that resides at BACK PORCH MUSINGS

She is getting all ready for Christmas at their lake house.

Have a Holly Jolly Christmas, Pat.

 ...and this PEPPERMINT PIG
handcrafted
by our sweet LYNN  and probably EARL, THE PIG,
is just about the cutest thing I've seen lately.
♥
"The pig is honored in Victorian holiday tradition as a symbol of good health, happiness and prosperity. After your holiday meal, crack the candy with a hammer and share with family and friends." 
♥♥♥ 
Thanks for telling us how to do this, Lynn.
I hope to find a piggy cookie cutter and make some of these for my
CHRISTMAS TABLE.
