January 15 2011 - Finished my scarf!

I had started it last year but my hands hurt so I had put it away. I was hesitating in putting in a fringe like the last one. I appliquéed 3 flowers on it. I think it looks like Meg Ryan's scarf in 'you've got mail' (except for the flowers ;) ).

20 things I love about the Christmas Season

Fire in the fireplace
Christmas music (love the crooners!)
Christmas lights, sparkles

Ornaments (hand-made!)

Hot chocolate with mini marshmallows
Vacation time
Time with the family
Baking cookies, fudge, cakes
Receiving Christmas cards in the mail

Santa’s arrival at mom’s house on Christmas Eve with the small kids all excited
Smell of evergreen and of baking
Snuggling up under a throw in pj’s, with a cup of hot chocolate, listening to a Christmas movie with the lights on the tree all aglow.

December 1st 2011

Today the Elves have arrived! Mr.M & Jujubes. They arrived with the advent calendar. Only 1 day was filled... dec. 1st and it was a piece of chocolate. Joannie ate it saying there seemed to be nothing for her brother ;) I told her it would alternate days between the 2 of them.

More Christmas crafts - Advent calendar

Here's the Advent calendar I made. The kids don't eat the chocolate ones anymore so I decided to make something more permanent. :)
