Thanks Majie :)
I'm glad you are enjoying the music. I played Andy Williams today because I remember you like him.

I hope you are having a good day! Happy WFW :)

Billie, that tree is beautiful! It looks like quite a large tree, was it? The decorations are pretty and that touch of blue is truly nice! Blue?, as in Billie Blue....LOL~~~

Thanks, jaycee. I love a beautiful Christmas Tree, and it's the one thing I don't do as well as the rest of the decorating - so I confess, I have a pro do mine every year. :( However, the tree is not that large - my living room ceiling is only 8' tall, so a 7 1/2 ft tree is all that will fit. With the angel on top, it's almost to the ceiling.

And it's funny about the 'touch of blue' - there really is no blue to speak of on the tree. That ornament that looks blue is silver with little cut mirrors, and why it reflected 'blue' I do not know! But I do like it!

I DID finish decorating - YAY! I still need to wash Christmas china & crystal though. :( And I still haven't gotten out the Christmas stuff at the little guest house, but that can wait a little longer - there won't be anyone there for about a week, and I'm just ready to rest a bit! LOL

I'm glad you finished, too. Why do we keep the stuff we didn't use LAST year or the year before that I wonder! Good for you for throwing yours out!

Hi Mama_Bear :)
How are you? Merry Christmas!
Your Mississippi thread is fantastic. I just enjoyed viewing it again. A beautiful thread.

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Conor. Thank you for the warm fuzzy basket.

Also, thank you for the Yeats poems that you are sharing with us.
They are wonderful.

Have a beautiful Christmasy Day.

Love this darling kitty graphic and the stars and slim red frame finish it just perfectly!

[Mama_Bear]

Thank you. You must be viewing it with IE. Don't try it with Firefox. It's a mess. I wish the different browsers would interpret html code the same, but they don't. :-(

I am doing okay. I cut my finger this morning and have a big bandage on it, so typing is a bit of a challenge. Other than that, I am doing great! Hope all is well in GeeBee's world. HUGS! :-)

[Billie]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I want him! I cannot resist a doggie’s eyes! They just go straight to my heart and grab hold!

[Billie]

Cute, cute “Cut the Cheese” and Sisters/friends day! Always fun to see one of the states profiled at the Finest being linked again! Happy birthday, Emily Dickenson - we love your poems at Amy’s Place. :)

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, Billie. Thank you.

Our Mr Mittens doesn't like the cold weather.
Being mostly an outdoor cat, he comes in for half hour or so and then wants out.
Since we've been having cold weather, he comes in, finds a warm corner on the sofa.
He sleeps for 4 or 5 hours.
I'm not sure what he would do if we ever had snow. :)

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Billie.

If I would quit experimenting, I could get pings answered a lot sooner. LOL

[Billie]

Oh, Amy! This is beautiful! You really are doing some gorgeous frames/vignettes! I have to ask - did you do the ‘soft’cut and paste Santa onto the gold bg, too?

[JustAmy]

Glad you enjoy the state profiles .... this week we also get to visit Indiana and Pennsylvania.

I like seeing events at the individual states because it gives me an excuse to go back and read part of the State thread.

[Billie]

This is so beautiful!

Thanks so much, GeeBee. :)

[JustAmy]

Sighhh .... no, I haven’t gotten that far in my experiments yet. The Santa was on that gold background. I cropped part of the background, then added the transparent frame before adding the border.

I thought the Santa w/gold graphic was beautiful when I found it. I really didn’t know what to do with it. :)

You got me there!

Sixty degrees?? Wow ... that sounds like fall.
We are at about 55 degrees now.
It is very nice out but we will probably be socked in tomorrow morning.

Enjoy your Warm Fuzzy Wednesday.

[GodBlessUSA]

Decorating is done and now more work to prepare. I hope you can take a day to relax. It's a lot of work.

My son will be home for Christmas this year! Can't wait. :)

[JustAmy]

Thank you, Meg. Those playful dogs were fun.

At 33 deg, I would spend the day inside too.
I might even be tempted to go back to bed for awhile. :)

Have a beautiful Wednesday.
