My Wish For You

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 15:13

Happy New Year!

Christmas in the 1700's

We took a family trip this week to Colonial Williamsburg and Busch Gardens Christmastown.  We had a fantastic time!  The weather was mild, the crowds were very manageable, and family memories were made.  My only regret is that we never took a picture of all 4 of us together.  But of course, we did take a lot of other pictures!  My older son has an interest in photography, so he and I have fun seeking out the photographic moments.  :-)

Here is one that he captured.  I'm particularly fond of this one.

These are some sights from the streets and doorways of Williamsburg...

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Two For Tuesday

You haven't heard much from me this month thus far, and you likely won't hear much from me for the rest of the month!  Life is busy, busy, busy right now.  I am still working on a couple of special orders from my open house.  And of course, I'm still working on ticking items off the Christmas gift list.  Aren't we all?  And then there are cookies to bake and cards to send....oh wait, I'm not sending out cards this year!  Something had to give, but it's not the cookies!

I did, however, find a little time to upload more items in my Etsy shop.  If you haven't browsed there lately, go check it out and see what's new.  I hope you will find something special!  If you want to place an order for Christmas, please do so by Sunday, December 18 at the latest.

Now, head on over to Thy Hand Hath Provided blog on Tuesday for a special giveaway and a special offer!

Dreaming of warmer days...

Everywhere You Go

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas,
Everywhere you go...

Just wanted to keep it real, folks!

Hope to see you at my annual holiday Artful Accents open house at my home on Friday, December 2 from 6:00 - 9:00 PM.  

(Goldie will be there, she wouldn't miss it!)
