Dessert...

This was me...
stuffing myself with goodies since Christmas.

I swear,  after the holidays,
I will get back on track!!!


I hope everyone enjoyed Christmas as much as I did.  My whole family was here for dinner and the presents and it was a wonderful time for all!  Now I am looking forward to winter, and the New Year!  I have lots of ideas for things that I would like to do.

Elves...


I have elves on my shelf...



An original Elf from the late 60's...
Who knew they'd be revived
and are so popular today!

He can't wait for the big day...

He's so loving...

She's so happy...

Vintage Santa...


In memory of my sister,  BeeBee...


Mickey hats made by another sister...

I made a bunch of these mushrooms
a few years ago.
I love 'em!

And,  of course,  some fake trees...
And lots of poinsettias...

I love decorating for Christmas.
Only a few more days to go!

Oh, those cute little faces!



They are here...  just waiting for Santa to come,  
so they can help him with all the presents!









I just love my little elves!  

And I'm quite sure that they love me!

Shopping...

Yummy breakfast!

I had to fortify myself before I went out there to shop today!

I went,  but didn't get much done.  I swear,  every year gets harder,  as the grandchildren get older!  I love to buy them stuff that they will really like and I can't always think of what that is.  I have to keep trying!  I usually wander around in the stores until I see something that I think is perfect for someone.  I will persevere! I need to get this done!  lol
