The Most Wonderful Time of the Year


It is a most wonderful time of the year and very busy time of the year:  baking, shopping, wrapping gifts, mailing Christmas cards.  One of my favorite trees, my all handmade ornament tree.

 Another view of the hand made ornament tree.  AppleJack asks me how many hours he thinks I have spent stitching these ornaments, I have no idea.  Each time I see this tree it makes me wish I had spent more hours.

The snowman ornament took on special meaning today:  It was 73 degrees yesterday and I was raking leaves and sweating.  We awoke this morning to a chilling 23 degrees and snow!  Don't think a white Christmas is forecast but certainly a cold Christmas.   Brrrrr sure glad we have those mugs for hot cocoa

Merry Christmas!

  4. your tree is beautiful - I would have told DH - thousands of hours went into those ornaments. I wish we had some seasonal temps to look forward to. It was a record high again this past weekend(sigh) - it's drizzly and dreary and 70 but at least I can pretend those are snow clouds out there! Cheers Mel

  7. 23 is balmy considering we've awoke to 2 degrees a couple of mornings this week ;) but it is downright summery today with a whopping 36!
    LOVE your tree....I have spent countless hours on my own tree filled with stitching and just like you, every year wish I'd spent more.
