How excited was I when I won one of my sister Kathy's giveaways (CreativeHomeExpressions) last week? My special delivery from Susan of EvelynandRose.Blogspot.com arrived yesterday. Two beautiful handmade ornaments. And how adorable is the Santa tag? I love them! A big thank you to my sister and Susan! Jeanine ...
I've been showing some of our Christmas touches for the past couple of weeks now. Here are a few more to share. The $24.99 Target wreath that I snagged for $3 at our local church thrift store.

I dress up the top of each year as if it were a mantle. This year, I have a bunch of jars with bottle brush trees, a cloche, an apothecary jar filled with decorated matchboxes and this bird cage...
