Come On In and Let's Visit

Wow, It has been awhile since I have posted.  Yes, the closer it gets to the big day the futher behind I seem to get.  But I am happy to report I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.  Shopping is done, baking is almost finished and I am enjoying the season .  Hope all of you can say the same.

There is nothing I would enjoy more than to have each and eveyone of my faithful followers to come to the homeplace for a big blogger Christmas Party.  But I know that is not possible.  So the next best thing is to have you visit thru the web. So get comfy and come along for a long visit to my great room.

Since most of you have been following along with me for almost a year already, let me welcome you in the back door.  All my friends come to the back instead of the front door.  So come on in.  I would take your coat at this point but you don't need  one here in the South today.  The temps are going to be near 70.  Maybe we should turn on the air and build a fire in the fireplace so that it will seem more like Christmas. (lol) The above picture is the view into the great room from the kitchen.

This is the top of the computer cabinet. 

Mr. P made me a stand for the Santa's tool bag.  Love how it turned out.

This is my new Greman Twig Tree beside the fireplace.  I am so loving it.  Had fun hunting ornaments for it. 

Love the waxed Santa boot.

Top of Mantle.  Not completely satisfied with it yet.  Can't use greens up here because we heat with the fireplace.  May be back later with another picture.  Got some tweaking to do here.

Picture of german twig with the flash on.    Okay that is enough Christmas today.  I will continue our visit in the great room tomorrow.    On Saturday Darbee Rae came to visit.  She immediately began a search to find Wilbur and see what he was up to. 

He was in the sunroom in one of my plants,,,, digging.  Bad boy Wilbur.  But he brought Darbee Rae a neat gift.

Darbee Rae was excited  and her and Papa got busy and planted the seed.  Should be a head full of grass hair just in time for Chirstmas. 

Yesterday afternoon I had a package when Mr. P. brought in the mail.  It was from Trace at http://www.grannytracescrapsandsquares.com/ .I was so excited to find this cute woolie angel and this pretty card.  Trace is such a sweet person and her heart is so full of joy.  Brightens my day to visit her every morning while having my morning coffee..  Stop by and say Hi to Trace and her feathered friends. Thank you Tracie .  I love my angel.  

Last night I went with Holly and Darbee Rae to dance.  The girls did a little presentation for the parents and grandparents and had a little party.  It was the first time I had seen Darbee Rae at dance.  They were so cute and it was a fun evening. 

Okay all my friends.  I have kept you long enough.  Hope you all enjoyed our visit.  I know I enjoyed having you.  Let's do this again.  Are you busy tomorrow?  Today I am picking up Darbee Rae at daycare  and we are going to lunch and then shopping.  It is our annual "shop for mommy and daddy" shopping trip.  Should be tons of fun.  Hope all of you have a fun filled day ahead of you.  Take care and will look forward to our visit tomorrow.   Until then......
