A River To Skate Away On

Well, it's a puddle really, but once I put on my red dress & tights, and step outside my little front door, any frozen water will do, despite my lead feet! The snow catches the light and glows just enough at night for me and my beau to skate. And there's Audrey over by the church, gracefully doing figure 8's, while her beau pulls the kids on the sled.

Above us, the icicles hang in the pine, and birds watch from their roost in the bare branches.

Inside, the tree is decorated and awaits us for our gathering underneath it on Christmas morning.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas. See you in the New Year!

Lucky Little Me!

Look at this darling "Little Purse" designed by Pam at http://pamkittymorning.blogspot.com/ and made & sent to me by Elizabeth over at http://the-latebloomer.blogspot.com/! I love, love, love it!

Her kind-hearted idea for this give-away was to help the winner cross a name off their holiday shopping list, but look at it...how am I supposed to give it away? I mean, don't I deserve a little something? Doesn't everyone? Don't YOU?

Well, you can have one too, if you feel deserving of all this cuteness, because she sells them here: http://www.latebloomerquilts.com/store/product.php?prod_id=48&cat_id=1. I'll be pulling out my wallet quite a bit in the next two weeks. And now, I'll be pulling it out of something that makes me smile!
