Seasons Greetings, dear friends!

Hello everyone,

I hope this week is treating you kindly, as it can be a stressful time of the year, with so much to do as we all know.


The Christmas mince pies and cookies have been baked, and may need to bake another batch of the mince pies, as with friends dropping by and gifting little packages they have gone fast. Some last minute gift wrapping still needs to be done and then we are looking forward to having family home for the holidays.
A bouquet of pretty flowers for the table, always makes me happy

Spending the lasts days of the year, reflecting on what has been and planning for what is ahead.
It is the perfect time for contemplation, dreams and goals for next year.

Christmas weaves a magic wand over this world and behold everything is softer and more beautiful
~Norman Vincent Peale

I would like to wish you all a wonderful, magical Christmas and happy holidays. It will be a good time to relax and recharge for the year ahead.

Merry Christmas! ... May your day be filled with love and laughter

hugs
Carolyn

  17. You have so many nice treasures in your home, Carolyn. Your tree is so pretty! And I see you have a lot of Pink ornaments on there. I also dressed up the tree this year with Pink ornaments....since I have granddaughters now, I thought it would be nice. Your mince pies and cookies look Yummy. Oh, how I miss mince pies. What a festive décor with the white lantern and deer, so cute. Carolyn, your posts are always simple and filled with sweetness. I appreciate them so much and love coming over here. : )
