Be Merry!

Here's the last of my decorations. I have a lot of pictures so bear with me.I'm linking to It's a Very Cherry World for wonderful Rednesday!

Dining room. 

See the little hearts on the back of the chairs?

My pillows on the living room couch.

Vintage music above the piano.

My toolbox full of vintage Christmas books.

I am late thanking Kim K. for this beautiful vintage shadow box. I was so surprised and honored to receive this.

Look at the wonderful details.  I love it! Thank you so much Kim!

I thought I'd show you the newest ornie that will be in one of my sons stockings this year. He did the artwork. I just size it and copy it. Then I sew away. This one was easy, because it was done in black. 

Here it is before I made it into the ornament.I cut it out, added a cardboard inside and stitched around it with the sewing machine to finish it off.

Here's the finished ornie. I hope he likes it. He should-it's his artwork on the poster!

I've baked chocolate snowballs, cowboy cookies, chocolate- chocolate chunk,gingerbread cookies, and  and candied orange peels.Made blueberry scones,cinnamon rolls, red and green enchiladas (for Christmas Eve). I shopped till I dropped, wrapped, crafted and now will put up my feet, like  Santa for a while and just enjoy the season.

 I'll be back after the New Year, so I can spend some time with the family.

  Thank you for the past year of blogging-it has been truly wonderful getting to know you.Wishing you all the Merriest Christmas and Happiest New Year!
