Sharing the News

 *Hello!*
Introducing my sweet little grandson......


He is the sweetest little guy, and such a thinker! 


He is tired from all of Grandma's kisses!
I have loved every minute with him, and look forward to more tomorrow!


I also met a new friend, well not really. We met in blogland a couple years ago, and just met in person this week. I have admired Nancy Maxwell James ever since I first saw her art. She is an amazing creator and a sweet, kind and loving friend. I had a really wonderful time visiting at her beautiful home.



She shared with me the vintage style ornaments she is creating for the 12 Days Of Whimsy she is hosting at her gorgeous blog Sugar Lump Studios.   



Each day starting today, she is sharing a Christmas ornament that you can follow her instructions and create yourself. By the time you finish the 12 Days you will have a tree full of gorgeous handmade decorations. She has really inspired me with some more ideas for my Jane Austen tree. Nancy is sharing this for free!

When I return home from this trip I am continuing my Christmas tree decorations and working on homemade gifts for the holidays. What are you up to this week?
Hugs,
Terri

    Cute is right......look at that hat, too! Oh, Terri, he is just adorable and I'm so happy for you!

    AND, I adore that photo of you and dear Nancy. You both look so great and appear to be about the same height! CUTE!

    I am loving her new 12 Days of Christmas projects. She is so talented, like you.
