I hope you are all enjoying the Holiday season so far. I finally got my Christmas decorations finished up... the trees are decorated, the house feels cozy and warm... I love this time of year! (photos coming soon!)
Our weather has been really cold and yukky this last week... I think it's basically that way for everyone, yes? We've been eating lots of hot soups, chili and comfort foods too... and I can tell my jeans are already fitting too snug! EEK! I haven't even baked cookies yet! Yikes!
I had some really sad news this week that my very favorite uncle, Richard, passed away. It was unexpected and took me off guard. He was a great guy, always had a way of making me feel special and had hugs ready and waiting whenever I needed one. I'm feeling the loss and have been pretty emotional this week. I will miss him so much.
♥♥♥♥
Needless to say, that put me behind a few days this week, and with the bad weather, I haven't been able to get many good photos for the shop update. I am working on them today, but the sun isn't cooperating with my schedule. :(
I will be adding goodies to the shop tomorrow and Monday. Everything is ready to ship, *priority mail*, so you should receive your package in plenty of time for Christmas giving!Here are a few peeks of some of the items coming to the shop!
I'm finishing up the photos of the Nativity sets, shown in the last post... a few of these are already sold, but thought you might like to see them all lined up. Ruffly goodness!

Hey Analise,
My condolences towards your uncle. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I was browsing through your new blog entry, and fell in LOVE with your Nativity Sets. If you could hold me one, preferably the Pink ruffled roof. ( The second one in the last two pictures.)
If you could do this for me, It would mean so much.
XOXO,
LeAnn

I have been reading your blog for quite some time - sorry to hear about your uncle. Also just wanted to tell you how stunning everything is! I love the pastels and glitter! I am hoping to someday have a new/bigger home that I can incorporate all of these beautiful glittery things I have seen on blogs! Right now I most have primitives and am slowly trying to add some bling!
Keep up the beautiful work!
