Well, I'm finally back to blogging, things have been so busy here I have not had time to blog so hopefully things have settled down enough to get some computer time in.
It is only 26 days until Christmas. I hope you have started your shopping, I have done a little. But, I have my home decorated and enjoy the sights & sounds.
I will start posting some things about Christmas & share some recipes, etc with all of you. So keep coming back & checking out what's new.
Until next time

Where is Spring?
I thought Spring was going to arrive early to year. Last week 60 degrees and this week ugly weather again (sleet, rain and tonight snow). I want to get outside in the sunshine and look what my garden needs for this year to look beautiful again. I want the colors and smell of spring.
I am working on projects for a Spring Show my friend and I put on each year. This is one of four shows we do a year. We invite some of our friends to put their things they make in our show as well. Everything in this show must be handmade and people around here really appreciate that since nowdays when you go to craft shows there seems to be alot of imported items. People would rather spend money for handmade which is better made and will last longer than anything imported.
CHRISTMAS
I am searching for some vintage Christmas items to add to my collection.
Fact about Christmas........The man who set December 25 as the date of Christ's birth was Pope Julius. The time he set it: 340 A.D.

The snow storm that hit the east coast missed us and we got only three inches (if that) of snow. So we are lucky!!!!
I have some vintage ornaments that I put on my tree each year and I wanted to share a few of them with you...especially my favorites because they are so unique. The whole tree is decorated with vintage ornaments and this is just a few of them. Enjoy

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!!
Christmas is over and a New Year has begun. Things around here has been so hectic during the holiday season with activities at the schools and family events. It was hard to find the time to post to my blogs, but I am going to make an effort every week to post to my blogs. So come back each week and check out what I have to write.
Here's are a few facts I have found in an old, old magazine:
In 1644, the observance of Christmas in England was forbidden by an act of Parliament. Under Oliver Crowmwell's regime.
The Pennsylvania Dutch name for Santa Claus is----Pelznickel
Until next posting.....take care

A Little Christmas Stuff
I have done some research and have come up with the meaning of the "12 Days of Christmas".
Here they are:
1.Partridge in a pear tree = Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
2 Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments
3 French Hens = Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues
4 Calling Birds = the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists
5 Golden Rings = The first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch
6 Geese A-laying = the six days of creation
7 Swans A-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments
8 Maids A-milking = the eight beatitudes
9 Ladies Dancing = the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit
10 Lords A-leaping = the ten commandments
11 Pipers Piping = the eleven faithful apostles
12 Drummers Drumming = the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed
Come back again and I will share some more Christmas things, ideas, etc with you. Ann
