Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! The season has been so busy here at the cottage but I had to stop in and send you all my wishes for a blessed and beautiful Christmas ladies!! I've had the pleasure of stopping in and visiting you, but I haven't had time to comment to all of you, so I want this post to be one big giant Christmas card to each of you! You have blessed my life with creativity and friendship and I love you all! Grab a cup of hot chocolate and take a little tour of my pictures for the season! We were lucky enough to be snowed in today under 2 feet of fluffy white, so we are going to be blessed with our first white Christmas in a long time!! The pictures above and below are from last night, the blizzard started around 7pm, and went through the whole night, what beauty there is in snow! But, lol, don't expect me to say the same thing in late January, lol, I will be dying for spring by then :) But for now, I am like a little kid in a Candy store happy!! Enjoy.....
The sauce was simmering on the stove, the Christmas music playing, all the children were snug in their pj's and I had my camera in hand :) The snow outside was definitely frightful , but we were all safe and happy inside..
My little collection of Santa's were snug on their shelves and table stops, watching the 2 feet of snow pour down..
I feel like I'm 12 again when it snows like this, and my kids can attest to that too :)...
Another cozy Santa, I made him from a pattern and kit about 10 years ago...
My little kitchen tree all aglow ...
And of course a few snow men too! I just adore this one... and the little one next to him was mine when I was a little girl, I remember playing with him for hours on end :) Oh Christmas Joy!
This was the scene out my bedroom window this morning, oh soooo pretty!
Last night I took a snap shot of the tree by my front door, just as the storm started...
Then by this morning, we were covered! Tiny hints of sunlight made their way onto the heavy snowed on branches and what a sight!
Even my dog Sierra was surprised :)! She loves the snow but at first sight here, she was a bit shocked lol...
Well ladies, It's time to go finish wrapping! I hope you all have a beautiful and loving and pretty Christmas! I made the little card for you below from a picture out my back door this morning, but I could never do enough to thank you for being such wonderful friends here in blog land, you are all such great and caring ladies , I am proud to call you my friends!
And may your heart be filled with the spirit of love and kindness you give out year long! I wish you many blessings and good health this coming new year too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
With love and appreciation!
