Almost forgot to post about a recent win from Laurie. She makes these darling tags and some sweet felt birdies. These are the tag I won and a tiny little rose booklet! Thank you, Laurie!

This is my favorite Christmas postcard. Celebrating the Real Reason, JESUS!!! with a touch of Santa.
About 5 to 7 months old :)
Sister and I with Santa :) Thinking I'm about 5 years old.
I have "met" some wonderful gals since I've started blogging. They are very caring gals! The Chintz tea cup and saucers are from Sharon. We have exchanged gifts during the year. These are SO Beautiful! A real treasure! Thank you, Sharon.
The next two photos are gifts from Debbie Kay. She is also a gal that sends special gifts. Isn't that a pretty tea spoon holder! Pretty blue that I love. The sweet dog planter may end up in the craft room and the violet cup is in the bathroom. Thank You So Much!
Hubby ate the cookies...that's okay! 
I wasn't going to make any Christmas goodies...gave in!!! Made this super easy and YUMMY toffee! I didn't have any Heath bars and it's still great! 
I "FOUND" a new Chocolate shop! It's Wonderful! It's called "Droolin' Moose" and I'm loving this place! Lot's of great chocolate! Nice prices and SAMPLES!!! Plus the nicest gals that own it! For more information go to: www.droolinmoose.com !!! 
A "confession": I bought candy for gifts, and ATE them! I went back and just bought some malted milk balls just for me! It's "dangerous" there! I've gained 4 lbs in the past 5 weeks. HELP!
This is the back and it even has a zipper pouch inside to hold my $$$$. It's roomy to hold LOTS of stuff/treasures!
Bonnie also sent this tea towel and these note cards. THANK YOU SO MUCH BONNIE!! It is a wonderful gift that will be well used when I'm " digging for treasures"!!!
I also did a ATC swap with Kimberly and this is the one she sent me. Goes perfectly with my Christmas colors! Thank you Kimberly!
I have been pretty good about NOT going to estate sales as much as I would LOVE to! Did make it to a couple this weekend and found these Christmas Plates! I've been looking for something simple and found these. A set for 8 for $10.00, still in their boxes! They are called "White Christmas" by Sango. I'm Happy!
It was a good "chick" sale...lot's of new items from nice stores. The frog is a Lenox!
Fun vintage too :) I'm already thinking Valentines and Easter... ( I know, crazy!)
The linen is old and never used and a box of fun sewing things.
This "Beauty" is Lovely! Love the shape, the animal head and feet! It's a little tough on the top. Hubby may "fix" it...I'm okay as is and think it will look nice in the living room!
"JOY" is my favorite word and she include some "joyful" treasures!
More treasures...THANK YOU, dear Pearl! Take good care of yourself!
Sue at It's A Very Cherry World had a Christmas Tag swap and Susie from Little Susie Home Maker was my partner. She made the tag with a pit bull on it and my favorite word, JOY. It's so sweet! She also made the little red bird :) Also very sweet!
and....sent me a jar of Lindt chocolate candies, which were consumed right away! Thank You, Susie for being my partner! All the treasures are so appreciated!
Granddaughter made her annual Gingerbread House today and it stayed together!! Here is the finished project!
Bought th Bluebird platter at the Vintage Cottage Friday when I worked! Love it!
Here is my Christmas tree during the daylight...
Bow window and it's very hard to get a good photo of it..sorry...
Night time and much prettier than daylight!
Fun idea from the Bachman house!
