Are you ready for Christmas

I have not done much decorating this year

We do not have family in at Christmas time

so I kept it simple, main reason

my someday studio building is once again FULL

And I can not reach my boxes of decor 

I did get a Special Swap in the mail from 

A very special friend 

Sheila of Country Impressions

Her shop is on vacation, sort of like mine is right now 

she makes the most beautiful arrangements

This year I purchased from a couple of friends

The Snowman is from 

Karen of Cedar Creek primitives

And the wood block and snowman below are from

Crystal Bowen on Facebook 

I love this snowman on the Old Barn Wood !!

Got a special ornament in the mail with a card that I have 

reread several times from a Sweet Friend

Charlotte of Roma Land Woodcrafts on Etsy

You can read Charlotte's blog here

My Rooster sled I got a few years ago from my GREAT friend

Lynn of Painting Thyme Needfuls

Lynn's shop on etsy

And I can not close without sharing a picture of Lilly 

hoping if all goes as planned we will be able to

take a wild one day trip to stop here and there

to see everyone, that is an all day thing spending 

many hours driving !!

And Praying things go as planned

so I can see my oldest son for a short visit

that I have not seen in over 5 years !!

They say Miss Lilly is using that finger to sass everyone! LOL

It is hard to believe she will be a year old in February 

and even harder to know we have not seen her since July !

Patiently waiting for summer when they will come down to 

visit a few times ! This Nana can not Wait !!

I will be back today to post my First Giveaway of 2015

so come back and see me shortly
