Parade Night.. was COLD!!!

Brianna, Kelly and me freezing our tails off night of the Christmas parade (Dustin took the pic standing up on the court house steps) . The grandkids didn't mind the cold.. Brianna was just anxiously waiting for Santa to appear and Dustin was waiting for the candy to be tossed from the Santa float.

Parade and other fun things!

Christmas Time around my House, December 2012

Brianna, Dustin and me at a Christmas Tree lot in Valdosta..Brianna quickly thought to make the tree branches into her Antlers! Very festive..LOL.

Had a blast letting Dustin and Brianna, my grandbabies, make Cookies and Hot Cocoa with me the other night. Brianna stood on her step stool and stirred the Hot Cocoa.. she was so proud. Dustin ate WAY too many cookies!

Plenty of Christmas around the house this year with the grandkids living here. My favorite pics are the olde chair in my kitchen above and the Nativity on top of my old piano in the living room.

Tree b/f decorating, pics from around the kitchen, and my lighted geese on front porch

Brianna and Dustin, my grandbabies, live with me now and had a great time helping put up the tree!

Front Porch

My Front Porch. We got tons of free Christmas Tree clippings from a lady at a Tree lot. Love the smell, will dread the "After Christmas Clean up!"

My precious Kitty, Miley.

It is very wet and rainy. I have been sitting in the living room on the couch with my furry doggies and just listening to the rain fall and starring at my Christmas decorations. It is peaceful. Have the TV on mute and waiting for the College FootBall game to start. What a nice quiet, peaceful and beautiful December evening. Can't remember the last time I sat alone and just listened to the rain fall and not feel stressed or anything, just peaceful. Just a beautiful and unusual feeling December night.

Thank You Jesus!

My dear son in law, Michael.. (Celena's husband)...., arrived back in the states today to his home base in Port Hueneme California, he has been in Afganistn for the past 8 months. Michael will be here at my house in less than a week so he and Celena wil be spending ThanksGiving with me. We are very excited and so glad he is back in the homeland. It will be so hard for me when they leave to go back to California , I will miss them and especially my baby girl soo much. But glad for her that her hubby is home and she is happy!

Several people asked about printing the feedsack. This is an image from ewenmeprintables. I included the directions for printing onto fabric in the pattern. You can order pre cut freezer paper sheets to do this or just use wax paper from the local store. Iron the shiny side of freezer paper to dyed fabric, trace off a regualr size sheet of printer paper on back of freeser sheet, cut out to size of your piece of printer paper that you just traced (8.5x11), run through printer making sure it is free of strings hanging and flattened. Some printers are fussy about taking it, use one at a time, make sure you do this fabric side up or how ever your printer takes it so it will be ready to print on fabric side. All you are doing is giving the fabric enough body to go through your printer.

Visiting Sandy Yesterday

Got to stop and see Sandy for most of the day yesterday, came on home late in the afternoon. We got to go to a new Thrift Shop and do a few things while I was there, had a great time. saw her new pattern doll models and they are wonderful!!! Her pics just do not do her items justice, they look amazing! I saw the new Annie with the frog, her new pattern, and it is great! Here is my grandson enjoying my box of stuffing, he loves the way it feels. Dustin sat in it the whole time he watched his favorite Disney show.
