Dear Kids,
Sir Beads and I would like to wish all of you who celebrate Christmas – a very merry one!
And may every one of us have a new year filled with peace, good health, and much happiness! 😀
I’m going to take a little break during the week after Christmas. I’ll be back early in the new year, though.
Hope to see you then!!!
Hugs,
Isn’t it true?
We are all children at Christmas . . .
As the day gets closer, and we experience the sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas, we are magically transported to a time when the wonder of it all took our breath away.
I found this vintage card and it reminded me of a little girl (me!) dreaming over the pages of the Sears Catalog Christmas Wish Book. I’ve included a quote from the author whose books I loved while growing up.
“Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time.”
May the child-like wonder of Christmas overtake you!
Hugs,
It’s crazy here . . .
My list of things to do before Christmas is not shrinking fast enough….
I’m not sure how, but I’ve hurt my shoulder and that’s really slowing me down . . .
Then, this morning, the elves announced that they are on strike! (They mumbled something about not enough vacation time.) 😉
So, I’ve been trying to find a couple of calm moments to reenergize.
A little “easy” crochet usually helps . . .
And is it me, or does this bracelet I made last week seem like a good match? I swear I didn’t plan it (again!).
Is it busy there?
Are your elves carrying signs?
Hugs,
I‘m an ornament-lover from way back . . .
I enjoy collecting them, making them, even just looking at them.
I love working with beads so, for me, these ornaments are like potato chips – it’s hard to eat make just one! 😉
Here are the latest in the batch I made for this year.
I had plans to sew a couple of ornaments and to crochet a few, as well, but time ran out.
I’m going to ask Santa for an extra hour/per day for 2011.
Do you think he’ll deliver? 😉
Have a happy weekend, Kids!
Remember to take deep breaths in the midst of all the rushing around! (Hope I can take my own advice on this. lol)
Hugs!!!!
Mrs. Claus (a.k.a. Crystal) is just plumb tuckered out!
She spent the whole day and evening:
* Wrapping
* Tying pretty bows
* Writing clever gift tags
* And mailing packages to out-of-town family. . .
Bottom line? The girl forgot to prepare a blog post!!!
FORGOT?!?!?
Can you BELIEVE it???? Tsk, tsk!
Next time you bump into her – give her a piece of your mind.
After all, we’re not dropping by here for nothing, right? 😉
Hugs,
