Happy New Year Diana!
This year I crocheted a number of snowflakes and used them on my Christmas tree. I also added the string of “popcorn” and “cranberries” that I crocheted last year. I was quite pleased with how it all turned out!

Very crafty! Very home-spun, Grammy! :)

I found a big bag of copper-colored cookie cutters for 99-cents at a Thrift store - they were all the same ones I used as a kid with my Mom & Sister when we made Sugar Cookies.

So, I changed the decorations on my little table-top tree this season to incorporate them. I added raffia bows to hang them with and they look so cute!

Makes me smile every time I see that tree. :)

I'm one that leaves 'Christmas' up until 'Twelfth Night' which is January 12th. Mainly because I'm lazy, but that's the excuse I always use, LOL! I HATE to put my Creche away each year. It's the beautiful Fontanini set that my Uncle Frank gifted me two years ago. He bought it when he was traveling in Italy and I can't believe he just GAVE it to me! Of course, he's quite the collector and has about 12 different ones from all around the world. He's in his late 70's now and downsizing.

This is not my house, but this is the set he gave me:
