for the record



normally, I do not allow this kind of jumping on the couch. but it's only three days until christmas. I sort of want to jump too. also, I might be high on salted caramels. consider my judgment officially impaired.

p.s. little holiday tour of my home over at cafe mom today. thank ye kindly, sheri.

  14. Here it is Christmas Eve and I have a pile of things still to do. Before I don my little elf hat and get busy, I wanted to stop by and wish you and yours a very merry Christmas. May this holiday season bring you much joy and laughter. May the gifts you give be received with delight. May your home ring with laughter. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

  21. I love your style. Your colors, the cheerfulness, the bottle brush trees. And the santa mugs. Besides myself, I've never known another person with a vintage santa mug collection. You have great taste!
