A Little Bit More Christmas

Hi Friends!

I've been doing a little bit more decorating.

My sweet girl friend Shirley gave me a subscription

to The Country Sampler Magazine for my birthday

back in September.

It inspired me to paint my old sled.

And hang my polka dot skates 

on it.

  

We also went to a smaller tree this year.

It's about one fourth the diameter around than 

the old one.

I love how it takes up less space and I don't have to 

move a living room chair to the bedroom

during the Christmas season.

We have a lot of relatives coming

to visit, so Steve put two pork butts

in the smoker.

After pulling this pork, 

I can put it in freezer bags and then

bring them out for pulled pork sandwiches

for an easy meal. 

 

I've also been working on painting two new signs. 

And organizing my rubber stamps.

I haven't used them for so long

and all my old ink pads dried up.

So I purchased some mini pads on Amazon.

I was wanting to make my own 

Christmas cards this year, 

but with so much company expected,

it will have to wait until next year.

That's okay . . . I would trade

crafting time for family time 

any day of the week :) 

Thanks for visiting:)

 

Keep Smiling!

Your blogging sister,

Connie :)
