A Little Bit of Christmas

Hi, Everybody...
FIRST OFF, let me say thanks so much for all the encouraging words
about our moving.
I am not one bit sad about the move. I am thrilled to say that the new home
is far better than anywhere I've ever lived in my entire life.
My Heavenly Father has HIS hands ALL OVER THIS MOVE...
and we ALL know THAT IS A GOOD THING.
I won't be talking a lot about the move as it is several months on down the road.
We are just getting prepared to put our house on the market and it will all
depend on how fast the house sells.
So again, I say THANK YOU !!
*******************************************************     

 I've decided not to do A LOT of Christmas decorating as our house is in a state of packed boxes and dismantled bookshelves and the like.

O, we'll put up our TINY tree....

and all the STOCKINGS, of COURSE.

Well.......actually, when I get 19 STOCKINGS hung ♥ by the chimney with care ♥
that's a whole lotta decos going on...!!
(yep, I am BLESSED)

The mantel in the dining room ALWAYS gets decorated for each and every HOLIDAY.
And, altho I sometimes change it out several times during the holidays, I've a feeling it will stay just like this.....

....just no time to spend on a mantel THIS year. :)

I am joining Kathe With An E for her
HOLIDAY MANTELS PARTY.
You should go over and check out all the really beautiful mantels....you might get inspired.
So many great Christmas parties going on ALL MONTH.

5 votive candle holders from BALLARD DESIGN

from daughter, STACY LEIGH ♥

I love using all the neat frames over at PIC MONKEY on some of my photos...
Love that PicMonkey place...also discovered RIBBET yesterday and it
is almost IDENTICAL to PICNIK.
Why are the photo editing sites named monkey, and ribbet, like a frog
and, if you remember, picnik had ants everywhere. ???

Speaking of Christmas trees...
I saw a WHITE tree with ALL RED decorations
and FELL. IN. LOVE. ♥ ♥ ♥

It's over at KariAnn's, Thistlewood Farms

I am going to try my best to get a white tree NEXT Christmas and, in the meantime, I can watch for cute decorations for it. I do have a LOT of red and white Christmas tree balls and such....I'll just add a few to them.











 

 This mantel is in whites and silver....a favorite HOLIDAY combo.
Nothing fancy, by any means....just sweet. 
(there's that little DOLLAR TREE plate craft...) 

O, ya'll....

I love EGG NOG with a DEEP passion.

I don't like whiz or bourbon or anything in it, tho....

...and, altho I LIKE nutmeg sprinkled on the top....

I LOOOOOVE CINNAMON best.

I almost got too much on THIS glass, tho.

When I took my first drink, I sucked that powdery Cinnamon down my throat

and almost choked to death....

Yes, sir....choking so bad, I had to get ANOTHER glass of that egg nog. :))
