As you're out and around doing your Christmas Shopping.

think about your friends who love to decorate. A book is the

perfect gift. When you see what wonderful decorating ideas

these books have for Christmas, you might want to play

Santa early and give your gift ahead of time. And don't forget

to find one for yourself, too.

Books are always a nice gift, a lot of time we

will not buy these kind of books for ourselves.

Hope this idea helps for that one gift that you can't

decide what to get. Sometimes people who don't enjoy

decorating will look at a decorating book and decide to

try some of the ideas that are shown...

Friends Who Love To Decorate

These are some of the decorating ideas in these books that I shared.

Achieving a Country Look. Furniture and Furnishings.

Autumn recipes, gifts from the pantry. Savory preserves and sauces.

Harvest and Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Last but not least RECIPES.

Turned Candle Holder Into Book Display

This Angel Candle Holder I bought at the Victory Out Reach

Thrift Store. I knew I was not going to use it for a candle,

I thought and thought I knew Connor's Christmas Books

would be just the right thing to use this for. I love it for

holding books, cards, mail or anything.

VERY SPECIAL PINK SATURDAY (Nellie)

Do you remember when Cabbage Patch Dolls came out?? I

have a wonderful story to share about mine.My first husband

drove 90+ miles from Meridian to Hattiesburg, to the old Gibsons

Discount to get this one for me. The greatest thing about this is

that we had not been married very long. I must have been at least

twenty four.My thought this would be something to hand down to

my daughter if and when I had one. But as you know I only have

two Sons (Chad and Ryan). Two grandsons(Connor and Cooper)

I am going to continue to wait for a granddaughter

to pass her down to!! Gibsons Was SOLD OUT in Meridian,

DANNY was off the next day. I hated to ask him to go,

I made sure he was on the road early. I just knew to be able to

get one he had to be there close to opening. When he arrived,

walked in the(store) Gibsons all he could here were women.

That made it much easier for him to know where they were

located in the store. I asked for her to be wearing

Pink and have dark hair I wanted her to look like me my hair

was dark at the time but it has been blonde

for the last 30 something years. He knew more about me

than I did with getting blonde hair.

Sharing Nellie for Pink Saturday.

She has been with me since 1984..

prettiest patterns that Gail Pittman has ever done.
