Good morning dear friends.
I've been wanting to share with you again, but between Thanksgiving and Christmas, we have a birthday every week. Add the Christmas decorating, celebrating and baking into the mix, and I've just been too busy, until now.
Last time I posted, it was to tell you some sad news about our beloved doggie, Jack. My husband and I felt his loss so much, that we decided to adopt another rescue doggie. He came with the name 'Snoopy', all the way from Tennessee. He was rescued from a puppy mill, and we are so glad to have found him. So, without further delay, I introduce you to SNOOPY!
We've tried to come up with another name, but so far, Snoopy has stuck with the grandkids and me. He's a wonderful dog and we love him very much! He has filled the huge void in our lives.
I have entitled my post, a Country Christmas, so I guess I should continue on that theme with some photos from around our home. It literally takes me a week to decorate our 2,800 square foot home, but it is a labor of love that I enjoy so much.
Our Carriage Room
 |
| Our family Christmas tree, full of ornaments collected through the year. | The quilt I made this year. |
 |
| Another Christmas quilt - I made it years ago. |

| Wool applique pillow I did last year |
The Kitchen
 |
| I love this little vintage wooden truck with elf. I got it at an antique store. |
 |
| Santa wool wall hanging I completed this year. |

| Goofy little Santa I designed last year. |
The Dining Room
 |
| My Hoosier cabinet always displays my Manger Scene |
 |
| Ceramic Christmas goose I made years ago, inside a vintage grape box from a local winery |
 |
| This mantel was found on the ground in our old barn. I knew it had to find it's way back into our home. So I sanded, embellished and repainted it, and it resides, once again, in it's proper place in the dining room. |
 |
| Love this old baby carriage filled with Santas and bears. |
 |
| Some of my Santa collection is inside my china cabinet. |
 |
| My Blog tree resides in the corner of the dining room. It is full of ornaments from past swaps and gifts with my blogging friends. I love decorating it and recalling the days when blogging was much more popular. Facebook just isn't the same.... |
 |
| The Last Supper vintage picture we found in an antique shop, complete with the beautiful wooden frame, for only $20! |
 |
| "...Not a creature was stirring...not even a mouse" | . Cute ornie my sister bought me while we were visiting her in Vermont a couple years ago. |
The Parlor
 |
| Stockings I made for the hubby and I. |
The Master bedroom
A wee bit of outside
(more to come, all lit up)

| Kismet had to get into the picture. |

Until next time my friends....
Have a wonderful Holiday Season.
Merry Christmas
Snoopy looks settled in just fine! I'm sure he is so grateful to have a loving family after coming from such a hard life. Yes blogging is so much more of a visit with a friend than the quick stop facebook...Love the blogging tree so many special friends made over the years. Your house looks warm and cozy. Merry Christmas friend!~Amy
