Happy Holidays

 

I'm going to be offline for awhile celebrating with the fam. My daughter and SIL are coming in from PA the 24th, leaving the 27th. My brother and SIL from FL are coming in the 26th and leaving the 1st or thereabouts. My sister from IL is coming in the 29th and leaving the 4th. 

I'll be back online sometime in January. Until then may your holidays be wondrous.

Ketchup Day

 How are you, Blogger Buds? Shopping, wrapping and baking like crazy?  I think I'm through shopping and ready to start wrapping.

I've already received two wonderful bud gifts. I'm awed and amazed at these presents and that they've already been sent out. We do have the tree up and the kitchen centerpiece out. Baby steps:)  A couple of the ornaments are new ones from the HH. Look for a glass cardinal and a glass grey tabby wearing a red Christmas hat:) Oh yes,and the HH has the outside lights up;)

My annual calendar from author D.L. Finn. I love these calendars composed of her photography and verse. Thanks, Denise, this is such a special gift.

This one was a huge surprise. I did ninety percent of my shopping online this year. When I opened this, I blinked several times and thought, I'm sure I didn't order anyone a French Coffee Press. I took another look at the address on the box and noticed it was to Super Sandra and knew immediately it was a gift from Ro. Isn't that woman amazing?  I would have never bought one for myself. Thank you, Rockin Ro.

What about you, Blogger Buds, Got your shopping and wrapping done? Baking?
