~~My Mary Christmas Card~~

Isn't this the sweetest Clapsaddle card for the Christmas time? I just had to post it as my first name is Mary and the card uses the name in the Christmas rhyme. Thought it was so cute and just wanted to share....hope your week is going well. Try to enjoy each day and remember what we are celebrating...I know I have been. Blessings to each of you as you anticipate gathering with your family later on this week.

~~Some Christmas crafts~~
Below is a craft I picked up from one of my fellow bloggers that was suggested with candles. I put my own touches to them and created a special candle for a Christmas present for my cousin which is shown in the last picture showcasing a vintage picture of our grandmother...
Before I started, gathering my supplies.
Finished product, ready for gifts in several sizes...I found out I prefer the 4" pillar size.
It came out so pretty and she was so happy with it..she even cried. She said it would definitely be an heirloom to her. I have since purchased a cloche to go over the entire piece for protection.
Had so much fun making these up, decorating and designing...

~~Enjoying Christmas festivities with my family~~

Recently our little town enjoyed "Vine Street Walk, A Victorian Showcase of Christmas"...
This beautiful Ellen Clapsaddle card reminded me of that time, but long ago, when families dressed up and went strolling down the streets and admiring beautiful Christmas lights. Here in our small town of Paso Robles, we have a street strictly devoted to the beauty of arranging Christmas lights and decorating beautiful yards. Some are a sight to behold!
Some of the businesses offer warm cookies or hot cider to warm up with and visit with folks a little.
Blessings to all as you enjoy this Christmas season with your families.

~~"It's Beginning to Look Alot Like Christmas"!!!~~
Yes, it's beginning to look alot like Christmas all around me...
The picture above showcases a cute little Christmas Tree skirt I made a few years ago to go with this sweet white wood christmas tree for a Gift Shop here in town. The owner purchased several Christmas stockings, ornaments and tree skirts along with the wooden trees from me. I had "sew" much fun making each item...all originals. Maybe I'll add a few more items I made later in the month.
Blessings to each one of you at this special season of celebration!!
