ReplyDeletegood advice!! I made peppermint bark today!!! I wish you were closer you could come and have coffee with me, I would just love to hear you say " oh honey" , I think you must have an accent, lol, of course I've been told I have a Canadian accent so there you go, you are well prepared in a most beautiful ways possible!

bj ... you are one AMAZING woman ... I see some things I could get for the Grandsons ... but they want hundred dollar bills in their stocking. Surprise ... they may get nail clippers, hand sanitizer and chap stick. WOW ... what a surprise. As long as they get sugar cookies, they are happy. Thanks for the suggestions. They might not appreciate the little bottles of HAND SANITIZERS in the pink plastic holder. hehe

... bytheway ... I love your Merry Christmas sign hanging in the window.
That's a great reminder! I'd take your survey, but there is not a response strong enough for what I'd like to say. Let's just say that I'll be hopping mad and very tired of the PC crowd having freedom of speech and the rest of us not. Phew! I feel better already...thanks!
ReplyDeleteGreat stocking stuffers! Your vintage music box is beautiful! And those cookies....... oh gosh they are pretty. May I ask who makes them? Are they Pepridge Farms?
ReplyDeleteThose Christmas cookies are lovely - they look homemade. Looks like you have been busy, and I admire the generosity and creativity you show in your gift-giving. You really do a great job making everyone feel special. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are staying busy and enjoying yourself which is the best way to go! Your sweet little music box is so precious, glad you have that to treasure. Have a Merry Christmas!
