Festive Changes!
9:08 PM
Oh, and now it's snowing! I hope your holiday season is off to a fabulous start. We had a wonderful 4 day weekend with family, food and lots of fun!
We're getting ready to pull our decorations down from the attic to adorn inside the house and out for the next 5 weeks. I'm looking forward to it. Maybe because it's a change from the usual or maybe because it's another opportunity to focus on the "good stuff".....family, friends, food, frivolity, and the usual nuttiness that goes hand-in-hand with this time of year.
As you celebrate the season, I hope you find time to treat yourself to a few quiet moments with a warm beverage to reflect on the season, what it means to you, to count your blessings and to give thanks.
I know that I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams, and chief among them, is all the friendships I've made out here in the blogosphere and through the classes. Thanks to each of you for that precious gift!
'Tis the season! Let's get the celebratin' started!

Your new look is delightful Laure. Glad you had a good weekend. I did too until I broke my ankle (but you already knew that). I'm going to wait and see how it does before I decide whether to sign up for your Clever Christmas class.
ReplyDeletevery Christmasy Laurie. Great piece.
ReplyDeleteThese little Chickadees are absolutely delightful! Did you use misquit for the snow? Please share how you did this. I also love your lettering as always!

ReplyDeleteThis just puts me RIGHT into the Christmas spirit, Laure! We've a cold front coming through today . . . highs tomorrow only near sixty :-) Time to start stringing lights. Thank you for a lovely start to my day!!
ReplyDelete((((Cheryl)))) - hope you mend quickly! And I do hope to see you in class too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gary!
Jacqueline, the short answer is Uniball White Signo Gel Pen. The long answer is that it's digital. I'll see if I can put together a post on how I've created the new header.
Thank you, Lynn, hope your season is merry and bright!
Thanks, Teresa, hope yours was wonderful as well!
Thank you, Kelly! I figured you'd like them!
Lisa, I love the lights too! On our honeymoon we stayed at a B and B run by a British couple and she called them faerie lights! I think that's very appropriate!!
Hey, Betty! Glad to help with the Christmas Spirit! We're suppose to be getting cooler temps later in the week too.
Thank you, Caroline! (Somehow I missed your comment!)
ReplyDeleteI love the new Christmas Holiday look to your blog. You must just be a bundle of energy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful, fantastic! I love what you've done!
ReplyDeleteI love the adorable new header! What darling little birds. Enjoy the decorating--we did our house this weekend, and put up the Christmas tree--the earliest we've ever done so. Guess we can't wait to get into the Christmas spirit!
ReplyDeleteLove the new banner!! You know I love birds all year round.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vicki, I love your new avatar!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pam!
Glad to hear you're already in the spirit, KJ!
Thanks, Toni! I thought you would like it!
Cheryl broke her ankle? I'll have to hop over to her blog next. Good thing I've taken the day off now that all the family have gone home.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look and the talk about decorations makes me think I'll just have to take time to paint the one object I've put up which is a lit-up wooden cactus ornament my daughter gave me so we'll have some Christmas lights now that we don't do the tree anymore (we'll be heading to her house in just 3 weeks and we do this each year).
I keep telling my husband that the blog neighborhood I am part of is so much nicer than the political one he chooses to spend time in. Here everyone is friendly and helps one another! I love it.
Oh, I just love your new blog header, with snow!!! Fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteLet's talk!
