Time for tea

Image
Hey y'all How are things with you today? Ok here. So yesterday the ladies in the family got together and had a ladies tea. We like to treat ourselves on occasion and after spending a lot at a few different tea rooms over the years we decided to do our own and we are great at it lol. Of course I don't have a single photo of it! Sheesh we were enjoying ourselves too much. I did spend some aunt Jenny time with all 4 of my little loves and these two wanted to take selfies so here I am with Shelby and Layden.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hey y'all how was your Christmas? Ours was nice it felt a little more like normal this year. I worked a ton, so for me it was rushed and I never did feel the Christmas spirit or the magic of the season that I crave. Oh well maybe this year... I did a couple of one on one swaps for  Christmas. First up is my swap with Marci  this was her first swap and I am so glad she decided to swap with me! I hope it is the first of many for her. Here is what miss MJ sent me, she made me feel so cared about! Love ya Marci! I love the ornaments, I use the C7 bulbs on my tree inside and the C9 bulbs outside, it is just not  Christmas without them, so the big bulb is perfect, the sleigh speaks to my love of things of old, the mug is my new favorite! Huge and just perfect for hot chocolate! And of course a little something sweet :) I also swapped with Trisha , Love her she gets me and we love many of the same things! Love her style and how she ad...

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...
