20 Days Left Until Christmas<br> Help Us Mr. Linky!

Hi friends! How are you? Have I told you lately how how much I appreciate all of your comments? I’ve been out of town this past week and without reliable internet, trying to settle some of the details of our move (like that pesky detail of WHERE we will live in January). I’ll update you all soon on the progress, I promise.

But being out of town, every time I was able to pop in to check my emails or comments, I was so happy to see you all here. You are the best, thank you! It means a lot! I’ve been meeting some wonderful new people lately, so thanks again for your support in the comments. It is great to get to meet you all.

SOMETHING NEW!

The amazing Tsh from Simplemom had a great idea, sharing links via Tumblr. So, now if you want to see any posts I want to share, you can click here and see them! I am new to this so I haven’t added very many yet, but I’ll get the hang of it soon! It is great to be able to add links with a click of a button!

HOLIDAY MR. LINKY

Speaking of links, Mr. Linky was being a pest earlier this week and causing some havoc, so hopefully he will behave this time for our Friday Holiday Linky! Feel free to link directly to your holiday posts from this week! Thanks for sharing your inspiration with all of us, I really enjoy checking out all of your holiday happenings. Mr. Linky will be at the bottom of this post!

Are you all going to BlissDom?

You might want to check it out, just in case there was anyone going that you might recognize or want to hang out with. Like, Simplemom, Nester or me or Shannon or Meredith or … wait, ME? {faints}. Sign up now for the early bird discount!

    Well, I am full throttle ready to deck the halls & bake the goods! After mentally taking a year off from the bustle last year (just not up to it with the passing of my dad), I am happy to say this year is full of joy.

    And a lot of it is due to the kindness & inspiration I have found here in blogland!!

    Thanks!

    Is anyone else as addicted to Christmas movies this time of year as I am? If you are, come and take my quiz to see how many houses you recognize from classic Cmas films. :-)

    Hi Melissa!

    I am lovin’ those sweater stockings! Fabulous!

    I put 2 links in for two different Christmas posts, from this week, but my the link title shows autumn, for some reason. The links actually go to my Christmas posts, though. Don’t know why.

    Have a great weekend.

    Melissa, I have to tell you that you made my day! I have a routine of sitting down with my cup of coffee and read my favorite blogs to inspire me for the day! And to my utmost delight I saw a comment on my blog by you!! I am so honored. I love your blog and design inspiration… so thank you. Just thrilled you liked my “Satin Ribbon and a Pine Cone!! (little secret I even called the hubby at work to tell him you liked it!! I know totally silly.. but in blog land that is HUGE) :o) have a great weekend.

    I am so loving these weekly opportunities to share ideas and visit fellow-decorators in the blogosphere! Special thanks once again to you, Melissa, for hosting these fun parties! Like you, I appreciate everyone’s comments, and am looking forward to another week of visiting friends and having everyone stop by Seasons for All at Home! It’s like going to a holiday party every week! ~Arleen

    Hi Melissa, this is as good if not better than the best Christmas idea magazine! You are brilliant for helping us all get focused on Christmas. I’m praying you find the right house, at the right time, in the right place…..and the right PRICE! I know God is in this and it will happen. Have an awesome day!
    Blessings,

    Oh dear! My holiday visiting is way out of control thanks to you and Mr. Linky! Do you remember visiting during the holidays? It was one of my favorite things to do. It’s simply not done these days the way it was in my childhood, but this is the next best thing!

    I liked your post about cutting out a garland with your son. I have an Eeyore, too. Of course, he gets it from me (said in an Eeyore voice).

    Thanks for hosting, Melissa. I added a link to a wonderful easy to make snowman ornament that uses a child’s handprint for the snowmen … very cute and easy, and perfect for the grandparents! Today I’m majorly cleaning my closet and doing laundry, taking occasional breaks for some bloggy eye candy, and packing for a 2 week trip to Canada. No holiday decor up at my house yet, it won’t happen until we’re back from our trip … unless, of course, the kids surprise me.

    Whew! It’s been a busy holiday season already and we aren’t even to Christmas yet. I’ve been enjoying celebrating a handmade Christmas this year. Lots of crafting, sewing, and hanging out. My favorite project so far is the one I linked to above. I made matching Christmas scarves for me and my girls from about 2.50 of remnant fabric. They turned out so cute and the girls love that we all match. Me too!!
