Christmas Season Begins!

  If I didn’t avoid housework I’d never get any blogging done!  And I have sooo much work to do!  But…first things first and I need to finish decorating my blog and for your listening pleasure find some Christmas music so you, too, can get in the Christmas mood!

On Saturday Jeff put the Christmas tree up while I washed Christmas linens.

and ironed them too!  These adorable days of the week snowman towels didn’t even make it out of the closet last year.   This year is a whole different story.  Our house will be on the Heritage House Christmas Tour so it’s all out decorating this year.

Yesterday I decorated the living room tree and Jeff festooned the porch with garland.  By next week I’ll have all my decorating done!  That’s a big first for me to start and finish this early.  So today when I should have been cleaning and decorating I fiddled around on a swap project and if your name is Lisa and you’re swapping with me do NOT look at the pictures!

I started working on this last October just wishing I could send it to someone special.  So I signed up for Julie’s Vintage Ephemera Swap (my favorite) and found out that LisaLaughs is my partner.  Sometime things just go your way because we’ve been partners before and she is a precious girl. 

After finishing the front and filling the little drawers no one had cleaned my house so far so….

I decided to do the back also!  What fun finding tiny little treats.  Of course it’s not going to be there by the first like I wanted but – hey – something in my life has to be late!

And…..should you be in need of a dirty house to clean….mine is available!   xoxo
