Christmas kitchen Swap

Image
Hey Y'all MERRY CHRISTMAS! I love this time of year, there usually seems to be a bit of magic in the air, not really feeling it this year.  Work has wrecked that. Hopefully in the next week I will find and feel a bit of magic, I need it,  just doesn't feel like Christmas without it. What does feel like Christmas is swapping with a new friend! Debby at  Cozy Blanket  and I were partnered and I have a new friend she says I am stuck with her ha ha,  well I can handle that! She is the sweetest and treated me lavishly in the gifts she sent. ADORABLE!!  So cute and sweet and looks great on  my tree in the kitchen! Sweet bottle brush tree in a bottle! Sparkles in the snow. Perfect! Blessed little peg angel, lots of bits and bobs to craft with, and a Debbie Macomber book I have not yet read. See I told you treats galore! I am so thankful for our little blog community. Thank You Debby! I am truly grateful! MERRY CHRISTM...

I have a stack ready to go out tomorrow for July :) Speaking of July we have had crazy *scary crazy great weather for July in the south! Beautiful days and amazing nights. It's supposed to be a scorcher this weekend though so as the saying goes all good things must come to an end...lol So I don't overwhelm and make a super long post I will just post this for today.

I WISH I had the time to do all I want to in my few days away. I wish I could load up the car and head out on a road trip, image from google search  maybe stop in Idaho to see Trisha , head to Nebraska and have fun with Angela, up north a bit and see Peg in Chicago, or Julie (aka Lucy) in Wisconsin. They are all so sweet and lovely and live in states I have yet to visit! Maybe go to Kentucky and sleep in a Wigwam I have always wanted to stay at this motel  and I am determined to do so one day! I have no idea why I want to, but I will! LOL Most likely I will head to Nags Head or OBX as it is now known It was always Nags Head, NC  when I was a kid and some time ago it became  The Outer Banks  or OBX as we identify it :) I LOVE IT THERE!
