Christmas Countdown - 2012

[made582]

I just got home from Target and no sign of Christmas stuff there yet. At least I have QVC until 8pm est.

sounds good, would lover to see them.

I start the brussel sprouts by getting a few of the real thing, I have the bases done and the first layer of leaves on. Each layer needs to be colored before the next layer can be added. Each one will need about 5 to 6 layers to get it to the right size. I will be making 17 of these. I never ever looked at these little vegies so close before LOL. Not really that hard to do, just takes a lot of time because leach layer has to dry before the next can be added. I love the challenge of seeing how close to the real thing I can make them.

You are a true artiste!

Well, I was hoping I was going to get through all the posts before I leave work, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen! I have to leave right on time today b/c my pooch has an appt. at the vet at 3:45. He has something funky going on with his eye, & his allergies are terrible. Poor guy. It always worries me when there is something wrong with my 16 year old dog - you just never know what the vet might tell ya! But he seems pretty healthy other than a few little things so I guess I'll see what they have to say! Say a little prayer for my Buster! :smile:

My brother & SIL are flying home from Cape Cod right now! Hopnig & praying for safe travels for them! (they are flying in my bro's 2 seater plane) Can't wait to see them tonight!!!

Hope you are all having a great day!

Prayers for Buster and safe travels for your brother and SIL on the way.

Breathless Thursday hello ... will have to catch up with the posts later. I've been flat-out at the office all day (except for a 17-minutes lunch break) and I've got plenty to do when I finally get home ... if anything's left of me I may log in later and try to get caught up. At this point I feel punchy enough to misspell my own name.

I hate days like that ~ hope you can catch your breath tonight. Merry dreams, Merry!

Hubby and I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond when I went to see my radiologist today. I bought a Yankee Candle (Ocean Water--ha ha, I just noticed the significance of that!!!), a pomegranate room fragrancer, and a Yankee Candle Spiced Pumpkin and Farmer's Market fragrancer. Yummy smells for my classroom! They also had another one that I want--Treehouse Memories. Totally love it!

Big Happy Birthday to CM3!

Thanks Seawaters !!!! It was wonderful because of all of you !! xo Hope all is well with your radiology xo

Good morning everyone! I woke up with an awful fall allergy headache..I was really hopefull since I barely even had bad spring allergies this year that maybe fall ones would not be that bad,,,well they are..I did take some meds for it so it should be better by the time I shove off for work..it's my friday and am looking forward to the long weekend. That one extra day makes all the difference in the world! well I better go fix some breakfast I am in the mood for scrambled eggs and toast! have a great day everyone!

I hope your headache gets better !! ........xo :smile:

Morning Merry Makers! It's the first time I am posting on this thread so I hope i'm not intruding! I just joined a couple days ago.

I am all the way over in England. Autumn is moving in briskly now. The leaves are falling, it's getting colder and the days are becoming a hazy shade of grey.

So excited for the christmas season to begin!

Have a lovely day everybody !

Thinking of you, MerryCarey!!

OHH. I wonder if mine is. I might have to check it out this weekend because I just get a $10 off a $10 purchase coupon in the mail.

I love those!! Good luck!
I have a 30% off coupon, but of course the villages are only 25% off. I sound so cheap, but they're expensive...and even more expensive this year. They're on the website if you want a sneak peek =]

Glitter, Drink up!!!!

Drinking!!!!!!!!!

MERRY dreams!!

Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

My mom had shoulder surgery yesterday, so I was at the hospital all day. The doctor said it all looked good, and I brought her home last night. I talked to her this morning (my aunt stayed with her last night), and she says she's still feeling good. She starts physical therapy tomorrow, bless her heart.

This cooler weather is wonderful!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

So glad your mom is doing well !! ((HUGS)) to her !! xo

Join right in! No one is an intruder here ... only a new friend!

This reminds me of the email I rec'd yesterday about cutting an onion in half & putting it in the room where you are sleeping or spending a lot of time. I have 2 friends who swear by this. Onions supposedly absorb germs & help you heal quicker. Anyone ever heard of this or try it? One friend could not get rid of the cold/flu germs in her house. She cut onions in half & set them around the house & everyone got better, quickly. Coincidence?? I dunno? Maybe worth a try?!

I haven't heard of this, but who knows? Some of these weird remedies work, even though logic tells you there's no sense in it. That crazy remedy about rubbing soap on your calf when you have a nighttime leg cramp---I think that's only failed me once. But there's no good reason it should keep the cramp from coming back (unless it acts as a massage).

hey y'all!

bradmac good to hear your mom's surgery went well. i'll be praying for a speedy recovery!

all the new peeps joining in is wonderful! that's the best thing about this place. new, old, gone to long, or drop-ins are always welcome. the more the MERRIER, literally! this is how our Christmas family grows.... yaay!

[MerryCarey]

This is such a great place ... even after proofreading with hardly a break all day, once I get home I still want to check in and read all your news!

Multitasking at the same time, but making catching up with your posts one of the "tasks" helps.

Well after 12 straight hours at the office I think I will call it a night. Hopefully this extra work means staying away from here on the weekend. Good night everybody.

so far all it has done here is make the house smell like onions! where did I put the fabreeze?
