Wishing You The Merriest Of Christmas's

Merry Christmas Dear Chickies!

Holy moly.....things are zipping right along here......it's already Christmas Eve Eve!

Where has the time gone? I actually decorated the day after Thanksgiving but haven't had two minutes to blog... and even though we've had some sunny days........no time to take the pix either.

I couldn't let this special time of year pass without saying how much I appreciate your friendships and kindness. So, from the bottom of my heart.......know how much I do.

I really, really do.

I apologize for not visiting you back lately. I've been stuck in the hustle and bustle mode.

So, here's a bit of pink for Christmas. I don't use any red, things are just too pastel here and it just doesn't look good, but I'm getting itchy for some red. It would mean an entire color switch around here, but I'm considering it. :-)

I made the roses....yep, coffee filters. I looked at so many tutorials about how to do it, but mine just didn't look like those and I wasn't happy with them, so I devised this little rose myself.

Several years ago I made all the little felt ornaments........I'm thinking I want a change next year. Hmmm... I'll have to give that some thought.

The tree. See how I've cropped the bottom out? Yep, not a single present is wrapped. I'll be working on that this afternoon. I just finished my two besties presents yesterday. I'll show you after Christmas........they might peek! :-) (And, I've planned a new tree skirt for years and still haven't gotten to it. )

I've used feather boa as my garland for years and years. I love how fluffy and snowlike it looks. And, I'm just that kind of gal. Lots of glitter and fluff. Does glitter make you happy too? I swear, I clean all the time, but I'll still be finding glitter bits in May.

Ahhhh..... presents from LAST year. Now, wasn't that easy? I love using more than one paper on a package......and a smidge of sparkle.

Years ago, while I was checking out at the grocery store, the clerk asked me if I was ready for Christmas.........I told him I still had to wrap.......so he started RAPPING on the spot about wrapping. It was hilarious and I still laugh about it every time I say I have to get to the wrapping. Gotta love a funny clerk amidst the hustle and bustle, right?

I'm wishing you and yours a glorious Christmas filled with joy and love and we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Merry, Merry Christmas!

Huggies and lovies,

Spencer

I'm joining the sweet little Beverly of at How Sweet The Sound for

Pink Saturday. Be sure to pop over.... You won't be sorry. :-)

Peeking At The Tree.......No, Not UNDER It! :-)

Oh my gosh........can you believe Christmas is only TEN days away? How in the world will I ever get everything finished?

I haven't made my cards........YIKES!

I don't have a single present wrapped. Double YIKES!

And, I have tons of gifts left to MAKE?

HOLY COW!

At least my tree is up! My little grandson always puts it together for me.....Yeah, nothin' quite says Christmas like a nice, white fake tree!

But...........don't you just love that fluffy stuff? Yep, feather boa! I dreamed about this a few years ago and bought them throughout the year with my Joann's coupons. I absolutely ADORE it!

Do you think it sort of looks like snow?

If you look closely at the top of the tree you'll see a little paper angel my little grandson made shortly after his dad died. It's been on the tree every year since. Poor little guy has a hard time staying standing up there....he keeps falling over! :-) But I love it and it makes my little guy happy....and that's what really matters to this old Hemma!

Or heaven? :-)

See how there is no picture of the bottom of it? Yep, it doesn't look really nice when not a single giftie is underneath.

I made the little felt stockings, mittens and hearts about three years ago......I think I did it over the course of one of the recuperation's after surgery.

I think it has plenty of ornaments on it..........do you think it should have more?

Ok my dear and wonderful girlies........I think I'd better get the paint stuff out and get myself busy. I don't want this little tree to still be empty on Christmas Day!

I hope you're enjoying the season and remembering the birth of our Lord and Savior! What a glorious gift!



I'm going to be a bit neglectful in the visiting department while I try to get some things finished!


Huggies and Lovies to all of you WONDERFUL little Chickies!
