My DH found a very old Christmas illustrated book today! I treasure it........Christmas past was beautiful, quieter and gifted with homemade presents.

My in-laws want to give each other homemade gifts this coming year. They are all very talented in art, cooking, needle point, music, sewing, etc. I would love to give homemade Christmas presents this year. I am a scrapbooker, baker, and a self taught photographer so I would love to use my hobbies to make a priceless gift.

Came to work and within the first 5 min. I broke a heel. Luckily I have an hour prep period so I was able to run to the store to buy a pair of shoes. What a morning, but on the bright side it was an early Christmas present for me. Yay me!

A perfect Spring day here, but we have a chance for thunderstorms tonight. Guess that's how we have to pay for the beautiful weather. I'm in the mood for gardening although it's still too early for that. I need to set all my houseplants outside for a little sunshine.

Even thought the seasons are changing, my thoughts are still on Christmas!

And aren't those the best gifts? The ones we cherish for a lifetime because someone we love took the time to pour out their heart & creativity to create something one-of-a-kind just for us? That is Christmas!

Well, its bright, sunny on the way to 82F by Friday so that Christmasy weather is now long gone. On to over 100F within a month. I miss Christmas for so many reasons!

Everytime my hubby and I splurge and buy something big for ourselves we tell each other it's okay because it's an early Christmas present!

Santa can come any time of the year.........he just delivers the biggest load on Christmas Day!

Well, it's definitely Spring time in Arkansas as we had a thunderstorm and a tornado watch last night. Luckily all we got was some thunder and lightening and about a half an inch of rain. The sound of the rain always helps me get a great night's sleep.

I'm redecorating my kitchen. It's been the same way for a long time. I feel like I need a change. Next I'd like to start in on our master bedroom. Hopefully I'll have all my projects finished before Christmas!

We have spring time weather here in CA too. Usually at this time of year I watch one of the Christmas movies I DVR'd from Christmas to keep up my holiday spirit.

he sound of the rain always helps me get a great night's sleep.

YES! It does the same thing for me! Whether its a storm, hard rain, hail or just the rhtymic drops of sprinkles. Love it!

Just wanted to say Hi to all my Christmas friends before I head out to enjoy the start of this beautiful weekend!

[nettescraps]

Going to the park this weekend because it should be nice. The kids can't wait because we have had so much rain since Christmas.

Hope you CandyKane and Nettescapes enjoy the beautiful Spring landscapes!

I have to work........and then family time. Christmas planning!

Anyone else preparing for Celtic celebrations this St. Patty's Day? The Irish love Christmas!

[CandyKane]

I don't have anything planned for St. Patricks Day. The kids decorated trinity shamrocks at church today. They enjoyed it.

I'm having trouble adjusting to the time change. I woke up really early this morning and have felt really sluggish all day. I love the new time once I get used to it.

For now plans of Christmas have been replaced by Easter.

I went shopping today and found dd a really neat Disney Princess paper doll book. I don't know if I'll give it to her for her birthday or save it for Christmas.

I bought those Christmas socks this year for gifts and one pair for myself. I love them. I stocked up this year on the Bath and Body Works holiday had soaps like Noel Vanilla (something like that) and the Spiced Orange. The kids love these soaps.
