My Christmastime.......



 Well, first a look at why I can't get anything done around here.  I just can't stop looking at this face.  Never knew how much I could love this little guy....... It has been a crazy month for me, and I can't believe this is the first post I have done in December.  Where has the time gone???? Earlier in the month my son was in a wedding in Savannah, Ga, and I was a lucky duck to get to travel with them to take care of the baby.  Still pinching myself I got to spend all that time with them.  Then a very sweet friend of mine for many years passed away early last week.  She was such a dear and sweet friend and I miss her already.  I totally missed posting pictures of Lakewood this month, so they are included.  But, I was very disappointed Lakewood had been really booming for me the last 7 or 8 months, I really loved my booth this month, but it was like no one came, like the doors were locked.  Oh well, staying positive for next month.  Also, I finally ventured out to make some pictures of our white Christmas here.  How lucky was that???? Hope you enjoy and I hope to get better at posting. 


I bought this little chair in Texas from Alice, finally got it over to my
upholster, how cute is it?!!!! I know you are drooling Theresa Smith!!!!!!!
