We spent a overnight with Sweet B and pets.
First up the library to build a gingerbread house.
Lots of candy to work with, this was not the final result and sadly I do not have a picture of it but she was very creative!
I dug out my candy making supplies and made her chocolate tree pops for each of her classmates for Christmas. This would be the assembly line of her and pep putting the little bags on them and tying little bows lol. We love our time with her and came home thankful for family.
I finished my freebie I hooked from Kellie. I left out the little angel kitty as it was so small and getting lost. I needed to keep it small....
For this.I wanted it for the door of this little hanging cupboard.
My tree is decorated in mostly vintage ornaments.
I love how soft and pretty they are with age.
This is a small table top feather tree. It is a newer feather tree but older ornaments.
My most precious ones are on this tree.
This is a small piece of my mantle I put the little lamps on it this year and I am so pleased with it as this room tends to be very dark,
Another bit of my paper house village.
And my vintage Santa's. The Santa in the chimney is the last present my mother gave me. Today is 10 years since she passed away. While cleaning out her things I found it with my name on it.
I miss her everyday and have so much to tell her. She would love our Sweet B but sadly she never got to meet her.

A busy week ahead, I have cookies to bake and hopefully a few friends will stop by. Take time to enjoy the season. A cup of tea in a room lit with only Christmas lights, time to count our blessings.
Enjoy

I love all of your vintage things and the sweet memories they bring. I miss my mom also but talk to her a lot (sometimes right out loud!) when I want to share news I know she would love to hear about or a problem she could help me with. Enjoy your lovely holidays with family and friends! Thanks so much for sharing.
Good heavens but your granddaughter is growing up. Love your snowman and it looks very nice hanging on the door.
Your little snowman rug is perfect for your cupboard door.
