Thanks as always for your sweet visits and I DO appreciate your kind emails. Many have emailed to say they miss my posts/blog. I try to post my finishes to my blog (yes, I know I haven't been doing that and finishes have accumulated-but I have so much going on and my days are FULL) as it is my stitching journal-but other than that I am not online-after 15 years of being online I just need a bit of a break-(and I can assure you there is nothing wrong-things are actually VERY good-we are so blessed)I am sure I will want to jump back in with both feet in the future:). I can receive email VIA my smartphone and I try to answer as I can :)

A BIG thank you to Michelle G and Linda O for their sweet Christmas gifts...you already know they are among my decorations and I LOVE them :) Thank you sweet friends :)

Ok-I am off to do more Christmas finishing :)
Please come again.

Christmas Finishing :)

Oh MY!!! WAY too many conflicting thoughts on pricing...I guess they will become gifts or will stay with me for the ones I have not stitched for myself yet :) I remember all too well when I used to do craft shows how difficult it was to price handmade itmes....I don't miss that at all :) Thanks for your thoughts though-TRULY appreciated :)

Thank you for your nice notes on my decorating...I do appreciate it so much. I'm still at it and I tweak my decorations until the holiday is over-so it changes daily-I tweaked the hearth last night... :):):) Life here has been so busy-but I am enjoying each moment of each new day! We have a great deal of good things happening in our lives recently and changes taking place-I am so blessed and thankful daily for all that the Lord provides and for the direction he shows me and leads me in my life.
Thanks as always for visiting :):)

From our home to yours...

Find Joy in the Journey from now until Christmas Day! I have been finding it as I decorate my home for Christmas and prepare for this wonderful time of year. As I spend time with loved ones, as I place needle to thread. This IS my most favorite time of the year. I'm hosting festivities and I am giving back to my community this holiday season. Please remember someone in need this season-pay it forward if at all possible. I hope YOU my friends find Joy in Your Journey to Christmas!

































Hugs and love from SC,
