Christmas, It's Right Around The Corner :)

I am in a Christmas mood,

like I have not been in, in years.

It feels good . . .

and I hope that it is contagious :)
In fact I was shopping at JoAnn's yesterday,
when another shopper commented on my lovely voice.
I do not even realize that I am singing 
until someone makes a comment,
but it is usually at home and it is my Steve
 that says something.  
When I apologized, I heard back,
"Oh, I think it would be a better world 
if everyone sang out loud".   
Do you ever catch yourself singing, 
humming or whistling as you shop? 

I printed these postcards off the internet.

The two tags are from the gift package 

that Sherry from Thrift My House sent me,

and the ornaments are ones I've had for years :)

I bought a few 99 cent bunches 

of red berries from Walmart

and I all ready had the hat, from years past.

   The red shams are borrowed 

from the Art Barn loft.

Then I took some red check scraps from my mudroom curtains 

and sewed them to the hem 

of a set of white pillow cases.

The small red pillow is made from a 

scrap left from the curtain under the kitchen sink 

and the boarder is a scrap from 

Steve's Christmas quilt :) 

It was so much love pulling this altogether

 from scraps and just a small 

amount of shopping.

Oh, the Christmas tree pillow is one that 

I made maybe ten years ago.

I hope that I have inspired you 

to check your scrap pile 

and make something new.

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year !
