Mr Snowman


My dearest sister inlaw Clara crocheted me a snowman for Christmas and he is so pretty. My husband and I took her for her cancer treatment today and went to visit a good friend of hers, Her home looked liked a winter wonderland. It was just beautiful, I could stayed there all day. Clara had crocheted her a Mr Gingerbread man and he looked so cute beside Mr Snowman. Carolyn was hoping I would forget Mr Snowman but I didn't. Clara's tree and mantle were decorated so pretty.

Well the spirit finally moved me and I got my tree up tonight. Usually I have my tree up and ready to turn the lights on by Thanksgiving. I went to my friends house yesterday and she has the most beautiful home and decorated like a page out of a magazine, that gave me the spirit so I have been busy ever since I came home. I want some boas and feather pics for my tree but can't find them so will need to order on line to finish up. I am ready as far as gifts but still need to wrap them. Next year I believe I will put my tree up in July, or maybe I can turn a bedroom into a Christmas room and leave it up all year. My husband would be happy because he hates to bring everything down from the attic. When I go back to Leathas I will make pictures and post them next week. Merry Christmas everyone.
