It is almost a little hard to believe it is DECEMBER!! It just seems like the past few months have really been flying by! But, goodness, it is here, and we better get those trees decorated, pull out Frosty and Rudolph, and start dancing around to those Christmas tunes! I do love Christmas music!! What about you? What’s your favorite artist or song? I truly love Celine Dion’s Christmas tunes….”Don’t Save it All for Christmas Day”….oh, now, that is one of my favorite songs!! Oh, yes, on any given day in December you just might find me belting it out right here as I work at my computer! 🙂 Hope Tucker doesn’t ever try to video me doing such!! Now, back to the decorating…our tree is up, and you would know that pretty much the entire bottom half has lights that are not working this year! Ah, the joy of those prelit trees! The first year they are just awesome because you just plug it in and enjoy the beauty! The 2nd year…well, there might be one little spot of lights that does not work. Now, this year…ahem….not happy about having to work in strings of lights to take care of all those dark limbs, but I will because I love for my tree to have lots of pretty white lights on it! ~ Just glowing in that window for all to see and for us to enjoy! The above picture is of one of my sister’s Christmas trees taken a couple of years ago. She decorates this tree with all sorts of whimsical, fun ornaments….some of their favorites, some Kaylee and Dillon made, and lots of cute snowmen dotted all about! 🙂
I will be sharing a Christmas photo with you here on my blog every day from now until Christmas day so be sure to check back each day to see what I’ll be showing you. It may be a yummy Christmas recipe, a picture of one of my favorite spots in our home to decorate, one of my favorite ornaments, or just a random photo that makes me SMILE…because it’s Christmas!! I’ll be blogging about other things, too, and will just share the Christmas photo along with each post.
And, here is the FUN part…if I don’t blog every day and share a Christmas photo, and you catch it and leave a comment asking me where my Christmas photo is for the day prior…you will receive a surprise from my shoppe!! I will post any time from 12am til 11:59pm CST each day, and if I miss doing so you have to let me know the following day! 🙂 Ok, better check up on me each day..this is one of the busiest times of the year for me so I hope I can keep up!! {{wink wink}} 🙂

Well, she has a “bug” that she loves scootin’ around town in, and everyone in the audience was given the new 2011 bug that will be out in the coming months! Hmm…Oprah would really like this bracelet I’m working on too…let’s just say it is “LOVE BUG CuTe”!!! Stay tuned…Oh, and while you’re waiting ever so patiently, can you guess who inspired the design below????? Put your Christmas thinkin’ cap on!!
