This has been a hectic week and it's only Wednesday -- been to the post office every day but grateful I don't have to stand in line. I drop my packages off fortunately.

I was checking out the ornaments on your bakers rack -- the ones that look like fabric origami sort of ... did you make those? They're really interesting! :-)

I love all your decorations! Ok, now I need to go work on my baker's rack. Yours is so decked out! Don't think I can top that.
Thanks for sharing!

Diane your decorations are so sweet and festive! I am in Colorado this week as my grandson is turning two years old! I've been having a lot of fun with him. I will be decorating when I get back home. It will be a busy time but I'll enjoy seeing all my favorite decorations again as I take them out of my bins and boxes:) Enjoy your break!

Betty said...

Oh...I love that gorgeous blog. Thank you for sharing the link. Did you see that adorable advent calender?
Your house is looking so cute too. Every time I see your kissing angels I remember when I painted some years ago. Don't know what happened to them. LOL

Vee said...

All blogs are my favorites! Looks as if you have done well and now get to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labors. It all looks so cheerful and Christmasy!

Hi Diane,
Love your bakers rack decorated so darling and your Anna doll is so pretty.
Looks like you received a wonderful giveaway of paper goodies. Thank you for sharing the link for the Christmas blog.
All are my favorties and I find inspiration in all that I visit. Yours is always one of my favorites.

Hope you enjoy the holiday and relax and spend time with family and friends.
Thank you for stopping by. I am trying to recall the stocking you got from me, but just can't place it. I paint so much I forget over time! LOL

Hugs from Texas,
Celestina Marie

Well, first of all, your home just gets cheerier and cheerier! Little girl doll looks like she is ready and waiting for Santa to come! (no Christmas clothes on my babe's yet.)

I did go visit the blog you mentioned and it is lovely. Very nice and unusual. I loved her soft colors..
Merry Christmas, Diane. :)

do you know that the first time i ever heard the word lanai...was on some trivia thing about what the 'golden girls' called their back deck....

this is the second time in my life coming across this word...and I'm 36 years old....I love that word...it is so romantic!

your photos....big..and gorgeous!

I like your decoration of the shelf unit with the baskets of greenery.

Love all your decorations! I see you are from the mountains of NC. One of my very favorite places and the most beautiful area of our country (my opinion) I have family in Robbinsville. Thanks for entering my giveaway!

Too many blogs I love to count! I had a baker's rack that I gave away a couple of years ago, and I've been kicking myself ever since.

Your baker's rack looks beautiful all decked out for Christmas. I still have lots of stuff in bins in the middle of my living room floor, but I'm loving all of the wonderfully decorated homes in blogland! I'll have to stop by the blog you linked, and congratulations on your pretty paper products giveaway win!
