Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Y'all!
Can you believe it is here already.
I have not had much opportunity to enjoy most of the festivities of the season, but we (the women in the family did get together last Sunday for a Christmas Tea.
Shelby and Amanda

we had a ton of food that was delicious!
We had :
Chicken and Tuna Salads
Pimento sandwiches
Cucumber sandwiches
Ham and cheese pinwheels
Crab dip
Phyllo Wrapped Asparagus
Lemon tarts and muffins
Fudge
Santa Hat Brownies
Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake
Pineapple Cake
Rice Krispy Treats
I am sure I am forgetting some of it, but we made it all and every bit was just perfect!
We had several different teas and I think the hit of the day was Twining Christmas Tea and Bigelow Constant Comment.
We women used to get together and bake about a million cookies all day one Saturday in December, then we switched to getting together for a tea or lunch at a restaurant  or tea shop. Now we do our own and we are happier that way, and our goodies are the best tasting you will find!
L.to R.
Mom, Beth, Laura, Shelby, Amanda, Joanne, Me, Julia

We had a good time spending the day together and after the tea we went to Beth's church for their Christmas Cantata.
                                                       Beth as Mary (in blue)
Then over the Beth and Steve's for an Eggplant Lasagna dinner.
It was a wonderful day spent with family.
Merry Christmas

    Hi Jenny - thank you so much for dropping by and saying hello - and of course you are right. This year was just kind of a breather we both needed and are enjoying our alone time together immensely. Your Christmas Tea sounds wonderful - good friends are just the best! Merry Christmas to you and yours, Dru

    Hi Jenny, Every time I visit your blog I come away with the biggest smile. Your Christmas tea sounds so wonderful! I am so sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Hope you are on the mend soon. When I made my Valentine's wreath I was so hoping I would see your comment as I thought about you as I was making it. I'm going to see if I can put together another kit for you. Jenny's Heart must have one of her own! E Happy New Year!

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...

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...
