Busy, Busy, Busy!


   Just wanted to say a quick hello to all of you and to assure you I have not fallen off the face of the earth! I have been busy decorating our home for the holidays and preparing to head over to my sister's tomorrow to help get her place all spruced up too! Chemo & radiation have left her weak but I know she still wants to enjoy her tree and holiday decor while she rests so I'm donning my elf's hat and red booties to do some Christmas magic at her place. (Can you hear the bells on the toes ringing?) While I have been a bit busy and not posting please know I am still visiting all your blogs and enjoying them so much, when time permits I even try to leave a comment or two! Your inspiring posts and creative ideas have definitely put me in the holiday mood...thanks!!!

  8. O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
    Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
    O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
    Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
    How often has the Christmas tree
    Afforded me the greatest glee!
    O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
    Much pleasure thou can'st give me.

    O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
    Thy candles shine so brightly!
    O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
    Thy candles shine so brightly!
    From base to summit, gay and bright,
    There's only splendor for the sight.
    O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
    Thy candles shine so brightly!

    Verses two and three of the great German tune to fuel your efforts! Hugs to you and Miss Ceil.

  10. Hi there...thank you so much for stopping by. I didn't do so well with the cloche thingy but everyone is always so kind.

    About the photo's. I don't scan mine. I don't know how to do that either. You will laugh, but I just take a picture of the picture and I think others do the same. It's tricky not to get glare but it has worked so far by not useing the flash.
    If you have a digital camera, it isn't difficult at all. Someone helped me and there is hardly a person on here that didn't have someone show them.
    There is also a HELP site to click on at the top of your Dashboard. I have gone there or otherwise just asked.
    I am not great on this computer but I would certainly be delighted to give any help I can.
    Hugs to you...and be sure and let me know if I can help!
