Christmas Countdown - 2012

[caninemom3]

Looks like you all had a blast this weekend! I had to work so I caught QVC when I could.

I am sure Binger kept you all supplied with plenty of coffee to keep you all up watching! :dance:

I kept thinking of you CAH ....Missed you a lot !! It was fun though...xo

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

My family is finally back home from campmeeting...yippee!

I had a busy weekend, cutting the grass and cleaning my truck. The truck was a mess, but I'm proud to drive it now. I forgot I had carpet in the floor!

Yesterday afternoon, my daughter and I spent the whole time in the pool...I'm still wrinkled.

I dozed off Saturday night watching QVC, and my son woke me up laughing at me for watching the QVC Christmas special. He won't think it's so funny when Christmas gets closer and he's worried about getting what he wants. :wink:

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Good to see you.......Sounds like your weekend was nice even though it was busy !! xo

I immediately thought of everyone on this forum when I heard a commercial on the radio yesterday when I was on vacation. A local restaurant at Myrtle Beach is hosting a Christmas in July lunch benefit for a local charity this Wed. the 25th. The commercial has sleigh ride playing in the background and lunch consists of cajun turkey, dressing and all the trimmings. All proceeds go to help local kids. Very festive commercial.

Awww....That is so great that the proceeds to help kids...how sweet !! xo

Good morning, Christmas Family !!


It's official !!! I got into the other company I wanted !!!!!! I sent my present employer their resignation AGAIN.....Hopefully I have made the right choice !! This job has no set schedule ! As long as I deliver the required lines each week it is cool !! That means I type whenever I want to.............A little nervous and scared and praying that Mother Mary and especially her Son are close by right now..........

Thanks everyone for always supporting me.......You are amazing my dear Christmas family and I love you all.xoxo

Make sure you show this post to your nieces!!!

Storage box can be used as a time out place for niece's and nephew's that are misbehaving.

 

[Seawaters]

You make me smile all the time.

Wow!!! I'm a designer. I always fill the inside of my tree with bulbs to make it look full. Who knew that only designers did that.

 

[Seawaters]

Wait, didn't MerryMistletoe do something like this before--had a great dinner but only told us about it AFTERWARDS? Then she goes swimming and did not once issue an invitation!!! What are we going to do about that girl? She knows we have the Lear, and ALL of us could be there in a matter of minutes. Oh. Maybe that's why!!! LOL

Well we were waiting for someone to invite us to come swim but since that never happened, we had to watch QVC. :wink:

Glad to hear that you had a good weekend and that your daughter is feeling better!!!

 

[Seawaters]

This is the cutest emoticon!!! LOVE it!

I don't see those!!

 

[Seawaters]

Then just move to the White House!

One wing could be formal, one wing could be rustic, and another wing could be whimsical.

 

[Seawaters]

I am sending the Lear to CM3 so she can fly out there and do just that!!!

Smack her!!!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Wow, this received some good reviews. Just one bad one, but sometimes these things happen.

I got this wreath for my front door and now I want a swag to hang from the light.

[Seawaters]

Lol

the problem is boo is manning the phone lines!!!

 

[Seawaters]

Just think, though, it gave you guys lots of material to work with to make us laugh!!!

I haven't been impressed at all. Last year was much nicer!!!

Good Monday morning everyone!

Heat advisory and possible storms moving in. We still need all the rain we can get. What a dry hot summer its been. On my 2nd cup of coffee. Ready to go home, not for another 4 and a half hours but I'm READY lol. I watched a lot of QVC Christmas in July. Just what the DR ordered. Some crummy stuff and some nice stuff. Didn't buy anything though. Even William saw some of the Christmas tree's and pointed them out! He is a Christmas man in training haha. Nothing really new, just downloaded some nice relaxing Christmas music. Its creeping closer and closer. Bahh humbug to all the people that don't like Christmas when I talk about it haha. Hope you all stay cool and dry and have a great day!

Hubby is outside grilling a turkey breast on the rotisserie. I have chemo today, so he is getting dinner ready early for us to have when we get back home. He marinated it overnight, so it smells divine! We will have mashed potatoes etc. Yesterday, I made two pound cakes--one chocolate and one that has almond, lemon, and vanilla flavoring. I cut them in half and kept half of each one. We are taking the other halves to chemo to share with the other patients. This is supposedly the last time I will need chemo!!! Yay!!! I was so tired from the baking I did yesterday that I just could not participate in the wonderful dialog on Christmas in July; but I did read the posts!!!

And, somewhere along the way, I hit 50,000 posts. I have no idea how that happened!!!

Have a great day, y'all.

Oops! I forgot to issue an invitation!! Dinner will be around 6 p.m. Pacific time! Who needs the Lear?

Hi ya is that the one has has wee records with it and plays 12 songs??? lovely i saw it on earlier in the day i want it am just hoping they have it on our qvc

Hey shellie. Yes, it is!! So neat!!!! :roll:

Good morning, everyone! I've been absent for a few days, but I've been around, checking posts. It was my weekend off, so I was very busy with my family.

This past week, was my 4th wedding anniversary, so DH, the kids, and I went out for dinner on Friday, since DH and I, celebrated ourselves back at the end of June. Yesterday, was my work picnic. It was at a amusement park or we could go to a baseball game, which is a minor-league team. We decided to both and buy tickets for the game. We had a lot of fun.

Today, I think we will just relax. I go back to work tonight, so I just would like to hang out and spend time with everyone. I am sure I will spend some time here too.

Hope all is well with you all. Today is the end of Christmas in July on QVC. I am sure I will be watching more there, too! God Bless and keep smiling!

Hey Sugar! Happy Anniversary to you & your DH!!

Stop... HAMmer time!!!

:lol: Good one, xmas!!

Snowflake, have you decided to buy the Gramophone yet?

Maybe next year for me.

anyone buy anything??

Yes...bought the gramophone last night. Right before it was about to go off sale...thought about it all day, and finally gave in =] Did the 2 Easy Payments to make it easier on the credit card bill!

hmm ordered two of the toys.......

Which ones did you buy, for the kids who aren't locked in the basement?!

I know !!! If worst comes to worst .......I'll buy a can of snow and flock it myself !!

CM3, I like the rustic/lodge look the best, and I was looking for a flocked tree w/ pinecones & berries, etc. last season. I found some at Home Depot, they were Martha Stewart trees. They had a couple different sizes & versions of other flocked trees, as well. You may want to look there! The only thing that stinks is that they never go on sale.

FYI- It's looking like QVC's Christmas in August is going to be on the 24th and not the 25th. Unless they are going to do 2 days worth of shows again.
