I know you had much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving.<br /><br />As you know, I&#39;m putting together this article and I am lacking in pictures of garlands and wreaths. I was wondering if you&#39;d let me use a couple of yours from this post and other past posts. I only need a couple and I would give you full credit with a link to your blog. Thanks, Cathy!Kathy @ Creative Home Expressionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01341667486449125153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904772127984286179.post-54826766739355326742010-02-07T05:50:09.439-05:002010-02-07T05:50:09.439-05:00oh happy day...<br />when cathy came my way<br />thank you cathy for the hint on the tree skirt....awesome<br />you home is elegant but warm. not stuffy.<br />i love all the quotes you use in between pictures and the santa claus of your town was a rare man indeed....i wonder if any of his boys carried over the santa claus dream.....how lovely of him....and you to share the story<br />blessings and hugs<br />simply debbie<br />i will have to read some more tomorrow. it is 0445 and we are happy to be going out to eat with our family at 1100am. see you in your archives late tomorrow.....it is the super bowldebbiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14720719897171914798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904772127984286179.post-74307524061945098912010-02-02T09:46:35.728-05:002010-02-02T09:46:35.728-05:00Your holidays must have been magical with such beautiful decorations! I love your tree topper...I was looking for an alternative to the plain angel I had...wish I&#39;d seen your post sooner! I have to admit, my home was quite a mish-mash this year, as we married in October and combined families and thus had quite a pile of holiday &quot;stuff&quot;! It looked more like a Charlie Brown Christmas, but was fun and just fine for the kids!Sherri Blum, CIDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13204779097439654800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904772127984286179.post-68286286910883162232009-12-30T11:20:53.997-05:002009-12-30T11:20:53.997-05:00Hi Cathy,<br /><br />Just dropping by to say hope you had a Merry Christmas and that there are wondrous things awaiting you in the New Year!

I love the wreaths hanging from your outside windows. My husband wants to hang a couple of lighted stars from the two highest points on our house next year. They are pretty high. We didn&#39;t go any higher than the top of the porch this year...he&#39;s afraid of heights and we don&#39;t have a very tall ladder yet. Next year maybe we&#39;ll get a bigger ladder, and he&#39;ll have the then 14 y.o. boy climb!<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Kayren, Pink Daisy Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08735245416162284974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904772127984286179.post-18551943981518390692009-12-14T13:03:03.396-05:002009-12-14T13:03:03.396-05:00on thing is for sure...your blog is always filled with eye candy!!!<br />I agree about all Christmas trees are perfect...<br />have a good weekTootsiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02313167135644565141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7904772127984286179.post-25681919972372725352009-12-14T11:18:40.898-05:002009-12-14T11:18:40.898-05:00Your home is beautifuL!!
