Robin!! You have outdone yourself! What a beautiful post! Now I need to get out my Christmas music and start making it Christmasy around here.:) Thank for the ideas and the motivation, Sweetie! Lori
ReplyDeleteYou know Robin all those looks are FABULOUS!!! I am really getting ansy to dig into Christmas but I am really trying to hold off till at least the weekend before Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteOh, and you know I am ALL ABOUT lights! I think it is some kind of sickness!!!...lol
I love them all. I want to do them all. But I can't do it all. That's the problem. Believe it or not, I love the oranges one. That is so pretty in the rectangle shape. And I love the berry float alot. And the swag with the hanging icicles. Delightful. Great great ideas. I probably will visit this often to decide what to do. So many great choices. Thanks Robin once again.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm nice!
ReplyDeleteSome even so simple I could make them ;-) hehe

(I can't post to many of them... both of my daughters read my blog... and I can't let them know what they are getting!! :D) lol But doing this has been such a blast!

ReplyDeleteShoot. You're right about not by Christmas, hu? But, he doesn't leave for his six month until February, so we might be o.k.!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday hun! Les
What beautiful wreaths and candles. Thanks so much for sharing. Thank you so much for you sweet words of kindness and prayers. I appreciate them so much. Grandmother is still hanging on and told my aunt yesterday that she was going to heaven on the 22nd of this month. She said God told her that so we will have to wait and see if it was God or the morphine. Again thanks so much for your concerns. Have a great Friday! Blessings, Karen
ReplyDeleteMorning!
ReplyDeleteAnd I thought the ringing in my ears was because of the darn cold I think I am getting. DH developed the snuffles and didn't tell me and came home from work yesterday and planted a big one right on my lips. This morning, UGH!! Ain't he a nice guy??!!
Oh how EXCITING (I wish I could underline and enlarge the font here to make that word Ginoromous!LOL) - a new baby to hold and cuddle and smell and hold and love to bits and pieces before Christmas?? Oh what a blessing. What a special Christmas it will be indeed!!
Thanks so much for stopping by. I best get back to making the card tags for the Knit your Bit project over at Summerstead while I still have some energy.
hugs, Linda
All those wreaths are great...love the apple one and the cookie cutters! Love all the ideas you share.
