A Year in Review
I shared my vacation with you..........houses that I have drooled over, dream bedrooms, my love of ice cream, quilts, my type of music, both traditional and a little dream like, oh my love of flowers and plants, Santas, ribbons, my first give-away, a small snap of the San An-tone river walk, the whimsical world of make-believe that I sometimes wander into, and of course this whole blog, which helps my desires to write............it has been quite a year..........didn't post each day.........but almost..........I learned to do many things via the help of many other bloggers. All in all it has been a wonderful learning experience and I hope to continue into 2009 with the same enthusiasm and dreams that I held in 2008.
Have a good day........smile, laugh or at least give a wee smirk.............

Wonderful and new experiences........
We had such a nice Christmas...........church on Christmas Eve, a relaxed opening of gifts, a fantastic Christmas meal and over all just a nice day.
I have NEVER EVER done the "get up in the dark-thirty" shopping thing.........NEVER EVER. Well yesterday I did......it was fun. We hit JC Pennys first.........5:30a.m and we arrived at 5:10, and no one else was in the parking lot.........we were a little worried, but then, and I kid you not, it was like a caravan of crazed and glazed looking women........it was rather scary to be truthful. My daughter came out with lots of goodies for the family.........sadly for me, well the big mama section just didn't have anything that made me swoon, one sweater and one pair of pj bottoms.......we paid ( I checked out first) and while Jenn was paying for her bazillion treasures, I wandered........I promised to stay right there in the jewelry section.........and I did.........and thank goodness I did too. Look what I found..........Last night we had another special and fun time..........we went down to the river walk and ate at
I have never been there and oh it was fun.........I think I enjoyed it as much if not more than the boys.........I loved the stools.........Of course it helped that certain people were sitting on them..........tee hee..........
Wonderful and enchanted creatures everywhere.....

Here's Santa
See the Santa star? He is a tree topper that I made. I did Santas and stars........both sold good too. He sits on a mattress spring........ouch!!!!!!
One Christmas, each person came to the table and found one of these Santas at their place setting.........sometimes working on these smaller projects are/were more time consuming than the big projects.
My knitting gal pal made Santa and his reindeer......the small 'joy' came from another Internet friend along with these handsome gents Created this jolly soul on canvas.........I always liked him, but none of my children were that thrilled with him........oh well.

What shall I share today?
This cute gent joined us this year.........he was rather up there in price, but at 50% off and then Jenn and I split the price, it was totally reasonable........
Tee Hee, guess you can't tell that this is quite large, sits on the floor, from the picture it looks like it could sit on a shelf.........I just found how to crop and do some simple things to photos, so I went crop happy yesterday........took out the desk that this sits beside. Here is a photo of his face.....so sweet.-
I have been a crafter for years........I look at some of my offerings now and get a giggle going.........they weren't quite what I thought they were, but at the time I thought they were the cats meow..........tee hee.
Hope your day is a good one..........are you baking? shopping? wrapping presents? finishing cards (and it is perfectly acceptable to send after Christmas day - I know I like to get them any time of the year.) Singing carols? We have had some interesting interpertations of carols this year.........a four year old hears things differently that what is written on paper........tee hee.

You guessed it........more Christmas
This I think was either Wally World or maybe TJ Maxx, just fun..........the snowman was something that I made a bunch of and gave to family.........
Found this one at a bazaar two years ago also........I didn't go to one single bazaar this year.......did you?
Shared this one already, but had to add it........it's this years addition. Hobby Lobby, love Hobby Lobby.......plus this is a new little Santa too.........
These fine gents are always in my bedroom......a wonderful California Internet friend blessed me with these (along with quite a few others.......the year I opened that box I cried and cried........so many Santas, so many different Santas........it was like a dream come true).
Residing right next to the chalk ware Santas is this music box........again I received this when I was a little girl.........plays Silent Night. It has seen better days, that is for sure, but I can't give it up.
Isn't this Santa wonderful? I received it last May from a very special young woman......she had it from the previous Christmas; sadly when I was in Why-oh-ming for the holidays she forget to give it to me...........so I have him also in my bedroom all year round...........
