Merry Christmas!

20 Comments / Holidays / February 18, 2011

We’re in an all-out sprint to the finish line here in Thimbleannaland and there’s just not much time for blogging. I’m sure you are all in the same boat! The sewing is finished (save a few bindings) and the wrapping is done. A few more cookies to bake in the morning and one last gift to grab at the store and I’ll be done. Not necessarily ready though. Snowman Christmas I’m just stunned over where this last month has gone and I’m a little sad that I only managed to get the basics done — decorating and gift making. Not much fun holiday stuff. I had some ornaments and Christmas items that I wanted to make. Maybe I’ll work on them in January so I’ll have them for next year. I think I say that every year.  I wanted to get downtown and take a picture of the lights to show you, but we didn’t manage to get that done. So, here’s one of my favorite Christmas pictures that hangs in my dining room all year long.

I wish you all a wonderful holiday surrounded by family and friends. I’ll be back soon with a few of the goodies I made but couldn’t show you ahead of time. I’m anxious to have some time to catch up on all of you. And I do believe there just might be a little anniversary in a few days! ;-)

Have a VERY Merry Christmas!!!

XOXO,
Anna

    Hello Anna, Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas!!! You are much more prepared than we are. No pressies wrapped here, a fridge full of food but no cooking as our oven died on Saturday! If the engineer can’t fix it this morning it’ll be cookies and pasta for Christmas Day!! Have a great time with your family – it has been one of my blogging highlights meeting you, may the teasing continue …

    I hear ya! Where did this month (and last month!) go anyway?? So many crafty plans, so little time. I feel like we were so busy that we missed out on some of the fun Christmas-y things I’d like to do. : (
    Have to try to do better next year.
    Have a wonderful Christmas!!
    Your snowman picture is so cute, love the little snowboy sneaking food to the snowdog.

    Merry christmas, Anna! Hope you had a good one. Thanks for the tonnes of crafty inspiration you’ve been. And big thank you for my PIF gift, too. I sent you a separate thank you email about it on my monday. But I know you’re literally and proverbially snowed under. Have a great new year celebration if I don’t hear from you before then! :-)

    Your final preparations sound very similar to what I went through, and now that Christmas is over, I still have one gift to finish! I’m lucky in that the recipient isn’t having Christmas until Saturday! Hooray! I do hope you and the fam had a wonderful Christmas, Anna!!
    You and I should make a pact of working on at least ONE Christmas present or ornament a month next year – whaddaya say?
    Happy New Year to you and yours!!!!
    Love the snowman family pic, by the way!
