Merry Christmas

Night before last was lovely. It was a night filled with friends and family...so do you think I took a load of pictures?
ONE.... I took 1 and it is not a good photo either...lol
sad little photo, no one is looking at the camera, red eye...oh well.
I love and adore all the people in it :)

I also wanted to share with you a gift I got from Angela 
at Down To The Darling Details


We both love gingerbread men/women and vintage so she made me the darling Tag and Ornament that are just perfect.
She sent some candies from a sweet shop she likes, made me the sweetest Christmas card and enclosed this little Ornament book, to record your yearly traditions. I love that idea!
Angela and I "met" earlier this year when we did Sandy's (521 Lake Street)Easter Tag Swap.
We hit it off right away and are becoming the greatest of friends.
We are so blessed that Sandy matched us up.
I love Angela's faith and her spirit.
Her letters always make me smile.
Merry Christmas Angela, thank you for your sweet gifts.

Merry Christmas!

    Ethel,
    I just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas! I received your package yesterday but will wait till Christmas to open it. So sweet of you. I have had nonstop duties with taking care of mom and trying to finish last minute gifts, never even got out all the cards I wanted, so I hope this will suffice. I truly hope you and yours have a blessed Christmas. I love the Christmas decorating on your blog, beautiful!!! You have to tell me where you found that, I would love to try it next year! Thanks again in advance for whatever is in the package, I know I will love it. I am almost looking forward to all of the hustle and bustle being over with! Yes, I know, relax, enjoy the moment . . . I'm trying! One more quilt to finish. I think I can do it if I start now and don't stop till Christmas eve!

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Ho Ho Ho **Gift for you

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
