Have a Merry Christmas

Today I baked my Mincemeat pie and got a few packages in the mail .. so will be busy cooking Christmas Dinner tomorrow ..

Some more views of our Christmas.. Merry Christmas to All and to All a Good Night!

Received a big box from Bethany Lowe Designs and very pleased with 'my 2011 Spring Samples'...here is a peek at one.. Mushroom Bunny , he's perfect for Christmas and Valentines..also had a mini swap with Vivian http://www.vivs-whimsy.blogspot.com/ and our theme was 'Deers'.. she made the sweetest little Deer ornament [needlefelted] and the darling deer in a dixie cup with tree, clock and candycane! Thanks much and hugs to you Vivian! I hope you'll enjoy your little deers from me!

Today I received this nice paper Christmas ornament bought on etsy that I will refurbish ..

A cute baby embossed scrap that looks like a Maud Humphrey..

Now the fun stuff! Bought thse cool Christmas Paper Dolls on 'etsy' from: http://www.rhondasoriginals.etsy.com/ her business name is "The Paper Seamstress" and she has all sorts of delightful Paper Dolls to buy! I downloaded and printed them on some vintage ledger paper from a 1920 book my mom had... and also made copies and instructions on plain paper and put in a binder to play with at a later date.. happy with results so far and hope to finish them tomorrow evening when I can relax and enjoy our quite Christmas and wait for the kids to call..
