Christmas memories

Christmas wishes

Christmas wishes

The only thing on my Christmas list in 1966 was a Baby First Step.
Two of my favorite things in life back then were roller skating and baby dolls.
This doll could walk and skate! She was perfect...

What was your favorite childhood gift?

Size matters

molly 1071

We have a "dog" cookie jar by the backdoor. Molly gets a little treat every time she does her business. Because Molly is a little dog I buy the small size milk bones and I break the cookies up in about 4 pieces. After all it's a treat, not a meal.

Last week I discovered they now make a MINI size milk-bone! The perfect size for Molly and so CUTE!

It's raining



It's been raining leaves here this last week (so glad I don't clean the pool)
If you turn up the volume you can hear our kitty cat, Tina at the very end. Ha!

~Woodland Snowman Ornament~

I'm taking part in the Art Bead Scene Holiday Ornament Blog Hop.

This little woodland snowman ornament is made up of a lampwork snowman head bead (made by me) which sits on a tiny glass bottle filled with frosty flakes (glass beads, pearls and mica) I then added a tinsel collar (for a little holiday cheer)
A lampwork acorn and nest with eggs (by me), a lucite bloom, brass fern and a heart locket complete the ornament.
 
This month I'm offering a similar ornament (which is a kit) for the Design of the Month.
