It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas



Merry Christmas!!! I am really in the Christmas spirit these days, loving our sunny cold days and enjoying the atmosphere of the holiday around our home. My decor seems to evolve throughout the month...I just keep adding and adding more vignettes...oh my, I never think about the take down in January...LOL!

May your home be filled with the atmosphere of God's love and peace, and may you be surrounded with loved ones this Christmas season.

Here's a look at "The Haven", our second Christmas season here in Montana.

Our Second annual Christmas tree cutting!

Some new little critters to add to the tree this year!

Seattle Trip...craft show

Had a great weekend with my friend Liz (known as "Snowman Lizzy") in Lake Stevens Washington.

Liz and her friend Cindy have been designing and creating snowmen for this craft show for years. I must have over 20 of Liz' original snowman creations. I flew to Seattle to experience this event for the first time along with Tina, (another friend of Liz & Cindy's) from California, who has attended this show for past 10 years.

Liz, Tina, and Bruce (Liz' husband) setting up for the craft show.

Liz & Cindy selling their snowmen!

Their snowmen have become a huge draw to the show, I witnessed this myself. When the clock struck 10 am sharp, the doors flew open and the mad rush began!! Their faithful customers flooded their booth and grabbed for any snowman they could get their hands on. I stood back in shock-n-aw!!!!

It was a fabulous weekend all the way around, good visits, good food, Christmas cheer, and reconnecting with friends!

Chris, Tina, and Liz....getting ready to leave for the craft show.
