Christmas Countdown - 2014

[made582]

Good Morning, MMC!!!!! It's going to be another dreary day here with a high of 61 later this afternoon. Hopefully we will see the sun at some point. No real big plans for me today. I need to run to the store at some point to get more cough drops. My sister is also doing a craft fair this afternoon so I may head out to it if I'm not feeling to bad. It's being put on by the Fraternal Order of Police to raise money for the K9 units. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good morning, guys! How are you all doing? I am doing well! Been very busy and I know I'm getting behind here. I hope to get caught up over the next couple of days.

Last evening, we had EA's 5th birthday party. I even believe she will be 5 on Monday. DH and I got her a new Barbie bike and we also got her an American Girl Doll. She said was the best birthday yet. Her friends had a blast too. Her Frozen cake was beautiful!

Today, we're going to my best friends daughter's 1st birthday. It's also hard she is turning 1. Where are these years going for our children?

Hope you're all doing well and having a good weekend so far! Thinking of all of you and your families. Lots of prayers!

Made: Praying for you and hope you're starting to feel better, buddy!

Sugar- Happy Birthday to EA!

Have fun today!!

OK.
The Christmas Blossoms thread. Starting to get pretty close, now.

Good news and bad news.

Was out at Crabtree this week and the lady at the information desk said there were currently NO open spaces anywhere in the mall and that "A Christmas To Remember" will again not return. :sad:

On the other hand, I explored the third floor at Belks and the staff was busy putting out Christmas merchandise.
Hurray! There WILL be Christmas photos to launch the thread with!

Now, as to the date.....
Hmmm........
Got to give that some thought, now.

That's a bummer to hear that once again there is no space for "A Christmas to Remember".

Glad to hear that other stores are starting to set up their Christmas sections though!!!!!

But, extremely excited for The Blossoms thread, as always!! [emoji319]

That is quite disappointing, Crown. I was very hopeful that there would be a space for "A Christmas To Remember" this year. We will certainly miss it for the second year in a row.

The good news? Last year's thread set a records in posts and pictures even without the traditional opener! With that said, I expect we will all greatly anticipate the thread's debut with the wonderful Belks merchandise and decorations!

Whichever date you choose will be the perfect date to start sharing and marvelling at the signs of our favourite time of the year!

Looking forward to it, Crown!

Good afternoon, everyone!

It's a cold and wet day in Ottawa. How cold? Temperatures are currently 10c/50f or 6c/43f with the windchill. It's not getting much warmer today, either. In actuality, it feels like a late October or early November day.

In mere moments, Kim and I will be traveling to Tinseltown to see the brand new expansion of Ottawa's Christmas Emporium! We're both quite excited for the occasion! And, of course, I will be excited to share some photos as soon as the Christmas Blossoms thread opens in less than two weeks!

Have a great Saturday, everyone!!

Brent- Chilly here too, we are 30 degrees lower than we usually are at this time of year.

Hope you & Kim have fun today!

We're thinking of visiting the Edaville Railroad Festival of Lights this year!

"Edaville’s Christmas Festival of Lights is arguably the most-loved festival of its kind, having earned generations of loyal fans. Passengers relax comfortably in warm and dry railroad coaches while riding through a spectacular holiday setting featuring an explosion of lights. Kids of all ages will enjoy an array of vintage amusement rides and a visit with Santa in one of our indoor play areas. Stay for a delicious full meal or enjoy seasonal treats while roaming our sprawling and beautifully decorated grounds featuring thousands of Christmas displays. Trains typically run on an hourly schedule beginning one hour after opening and the last train is at 8pm."

I thought it was a long drive, but it's only between and hour and an hour and a half to get there. Mr.'s interested in going, and of course I am! He says if we enjoy it we'll make it an annual tradition.

New afghan!

Here's a more detailed look. Now you can see the holly leaves!

I tried to make the border look like icicles. I think it worked out pretty well!
