Do you realize that there are only 2 weekends left until Christmas?
Have you tried to make a paper snowflake since your elementary school days? It's difficult, trust me!
Would you believe it takes me about 30 minutes to sew each of these linen ornaments AND I still have about 12 more to make?!! 
Do you see Max's little stocking there on the left? Santa always leaves him a little treat on Christmas morning.
Do you add little dashes of Christmas into almost every room of your home?
Do you have Christmas artwork that you have to rearrange your walls in order to hang every year?
Did you know that you can pick up free tree trimmings at your local Lowe's and Home Depot this time of year? 
Does your holiday decor have a distinct, Christmas smell? As soon as I open my storage bins every year I smell Christmas....ah, it makes me happy. ☺
Are you tired of all the questions I've asked you during this post?
♥ Hee, hee...love you all for putting up with me. ♥

We have a non-scented Christmas, unless it is a pure source due to allergies.....but, what, always smells so good is baking and the turkey!!!
ReplyDeleteT!
ReplyDeleteI love love LOVE christmas decorating! I *sorta* add dashes of Christmas to each room - I did last year and loved doing it, but this year I don't think I am....I.KNOW. I should. ;)
Um, those linen ornaments are so special - I can tell a LOT of work went into them .... what a gift of yourself that you are giving someone!
I don't have Christmas artwork that I change on my walls - wouldn't it be fun to do that!?
TWO WEEKS LEFT!? I feel like this is going SO fast. I was/am so excited for Christmas this year. I don't know why...maybe because I was super organized and know what I'm getting everyone, shopping 99% complete, and I like where I've placed all my tried and true decorations this year.
Hope these next two weeks sloooow down so we can soak in the season!
How wordy was I in this response? ;) Doggone it!

I like the linen ornaments...they show what a big heart you have!
ReplyDeleteI love all of your magical touches. I have been contemplating how to move furniture and wall pieces to make room for Christmas decorations that haven't been unpacked yet.
And I'll be sure to look for that free greenery at Home Depot. That is where my tree is at. ;-D

ReplyDeleteLonden- Max is a Westie and yes he sheds, but his fur is supposedly hypo-allergenic. ;)
