Happy Homemaker 2024-11-18

Good morning.

What a busy week with finishing Christmas ornament gifts and decorating.. and that's not quite finished yet.  bought new lights for the tree (white) but now that I have them dh would have prefered colored and they are quite bright... so undecided if I undo the whole thing and return them or keep them as is.

We did not see grandkids all week nor during the weekend.

Let's join Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom .

  2. I absolutely adore those church ornament tags - so pretty! We went through the light dilemma a couple years ago just like you are now. I wanted the white and hubby wanted the color after I got the white on the tree. I left the white, but added color and it turned out wonderful. I now use the white around my sled and other decorations and the color on the tree so we're both happy. And I LOVE your handmade gift thought - oh so true!!!!! Have a wonderful week!

    1. That's a good idea about the lights. I just might have to put colored back in the tree..
