A little Christmas in the bedroom......

Well, if you've followed my blog since last year, you know I love Christmas and Christmas trees!! Yes, I have about 4, maybe 5 in my tiny little farmhouse.

This year I decided to add one to my bedroom... a little red tree with white and gold ornaments with a precious victorian head with gold gown on top! A gold table runner envelopes the bottom of the tree to make it a perfect addition to my bedroom... Now,, if only my husband doesn't knock it down.. I'll be all set!!! Put a tree in an unexpected place this year and let me know! Merry Tuesday night to all.... with Christmas love, Tracey

Start of the Christmas Season

Well, I started my decoration process yeserday. I made a wreath of Christmas balls that I saw on another blog that I loved!! Took the idea and made it my own. I haven't taken down any other decorations from my attic yet , but will start that process today.

Today also marks my daughter, Jessica's , 25th birthday. I can't believe it's been 25 years already!!

I love her to pieces and she is a precious sould. I am off to her hockey game today. She is a goalie and has been since she was 10 or so. I love watching her play and the passion she has for the game is unbelievable! That passion, drive and being so self-assured are qualities I wish I had , but admire in her so much.

So Happy Birthday Jess,, and pics to come for the holiday's soon. Tracey

Happy Thanksgiving... to all!!

So Happy Turkey Day and enjoy your family, friends and all that food that you are blessed to have... Big Hugs to all...Tracey

Fun days with Family and Friends

I've been out of the loop for a while.. husband gone and staying pretty busy. Working, exercising and hanging with friends and family.

Last weekend my sister came down from Millinocket and we went shopping and to craft fairs. It was a lot of fun. We always go to a place that has the "Winterberry Craft Fair". It's put on my the Women's Literary Union in Auburn, Maine and it's beautiful. We had scones and tea in a beautiful sitting room , with fine china and surrounded by beauty.



I also went with a friend and her children to a card making night. The night was about making and sending cards to troops overseas. Of course I dug right in since mine is heading there in a few months. This was a remarkable lady who has been doing this since 1968!! Wow.. that's patriotism!!

So you can see I've been busy and with working it's been good to stay this busy. I've been checking on all your blogs and reading, I may not always leave a comment, but count on the fact that I am reading and checking in often. Have a wonderful day all... Friday the 13th! I've already had mine last Friday... that's another story.
