Mike gets out of work in just a few minutes, so soon he will join me back in our cinnamon-scented nest where I am now mixing up another batch of salt dough to make more ornaments and finalizing my grocery list before I head over to the store. Tree-purchasing and tree-trimming tonight--this is the latest I have ever gotten a Christmas tree, but so be it, and we will just leave it up through January to make up for it--Chinese food-eating and ornament-painting later tonight, and the rest of the weekend will be spent baking, cooking, and celebrating. ♥Christmas!♥ And all this rare free time with my Mike!! ♥Home!♥ 'Much more to say and share, but in the meantime, I do hope you all enjoy peace and love these holidays, as well.
♥ "Love is a force
more formidable
than any other.
It is invisible --
it cannot be seen or measured,
yet it is powerful enough
to transform you in a moment,
and offer you more joy
than any material possession could." ♥

I also see hospital written on your mom's calendar Val. I hope all is well.
Merry Christmas to you and Mike in your little cozy nest. I know you will make it special no matter what.
This year is very difficult for me, but I'll get through it. I like George Michael too. i didn't know he was in the hosp.
You'll have to show us your salt ornaments ; )
Love from Canada where it finally snowed this morning.
xoxoxo
Ooh, you have snow! How beautiful. :)
I know this is a hard Christmas for you--and Thistle Farm too, her first without her husband. I am thinking of you guys and holding you in my heart.
Mom is still sick, but hopefully, things will improve in 2012.
And yes, I will share my ornaments sometime soon. :) It's almost 5 p.m. here and we still need to find a TREE! for them. :)
Much Love,
Val

I hope your Christmas is very happy, Val - I'm sure it will be, since you'll be together so cozily.
The quote by Barbara DeAngelis is right on.
merry Christmas, val!
hope your cozy nest is full of love and more cinnamon.

Thank you and love to you all. :)
your home looks very wonderful and cozy and warm and delightful.....there truly is "no place like home" and I'm glad you got to spend all that time with your honey....
Thank you, asl. It was heavenly having so much time off with Mike. :)
What a wonderful holiday scene! You always were so so creative. Love all the little touches you've added to the apartment. So very festive. I actually just spent the day yesterday taking down the holiday decorations- it comes and goes so quickly now to me.
I hope you're both doing well! We just got our first shovelable snow of the season last night- 1". LOL I don't mind though!!
Hi, Tracy! :) Thank you, and yes, it goes by SO fast. Mike and I are leaving our trees and things up through January since I didn't get around to putting them up til Christmas Eve this year, so I can put off the dreaded packing-away-of-Christmas-decorations for a few more weeks.... :)
And about the same amount of snow here today, 1"-maybe 2".
Take care. :)
