CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN!



I cannot believe it is 7 days until Christmas Eve! Where does the time go? I have been so busy that I have not had time to post. Cookies to bake, done! Presents bought, wrapping today. All I really have left is to buy the vegetables for dinner.




We had our family Christmas get together on Saturday and I delivered my Christmas Cookies. I found these cute containers this year, very festive. I like these better than the tin because you can see the cookies. Here are the cookies I chose to make this Christmas. Belgium Cookies, Red and White Cookies, Swirl Cookies and of course Rudolph Fudge ( you really must make this) recipe is in an earlier post.




You will recall in an earlier post my Candy Cane Dilemma. When I could not find any red & white candy canes ( I finally did!) I found some lovely old fashioned pipe cleaner ones on Etsy . They came today and I just love them. Stephanie at OLD WORLD PRIMITIVES has some really beautiful old fashioned little goodies, stop by and see her.




I received another lovely little delight today in the post. I saw these gorgeous earrings at LAVENDER RABBIT STUDIOS on Etsy and just had to have them. I have long been a fan of Donna's work, she specializes in amazing Rabbit jewelry which I want to purchase, just waiting for the right piece. I am wearing these on Christmas Day because Santa is leaving them in my stocking. Donna is having a great Christmas sale right now so hop like a bunny over there and have a look.




So I hope your stockings are hung and your halls are decked.




If not get your Jingle on the countdown has begun.



And please remember to open your hearts and give a little donation to RESCUE DOGS MATCH, my Daisy, Rufus and Atticus would be forever grateful.
