I am so sorry to hear about Nan, Johnn. It is somehow so wrong to lay off anyone before Christmas - especially someone as special as her! (I know she is special because she is married to a very fine man.)

Hang tight, and know that prayers are being uplifted as we speak. Hugs to you both.

[jaycee]

That was so beautiful, Lady J. Thank you.

[jaycee]

Johnn, what would we look for at lulu.com? I went there and didn’t know where or what to look for! You can answer tomorrow. Remembering you and Nan in prayer.

Kitty, I don’t know if I will ever “get it” or not! Frankly, I don’t have enough time to spend trying to learn the tables and its like I tell Billie, it is like a foreign language to me! She is so patient and says ‘one day a light bulb will go off and I will get it’....I told her she sure is an optimist~~LOL~~She is a great teacher and has the patience of Job.

Yes. You will. Trust me. It will happen. If you want it to. :)

I am so far behind today I can never get through everyone's pretty posts since I left yesterday evening. :(

[Billie]

Billie, don’t they look beautiful altogether? That is better than what I suggested! If all who have ornaments would like to post them on the same day...like you say Tuesday or Wednesday would be wonderful.

I plan to post Tuesday's opening in about an hour or so because it looks like I may not have a chance to be here until after lunch tomorrow, so do hope to see many of those ornaments when I check in tomorrow! :)

Would you just want me to Freepmail the ones you have presented ornaments for? Is that what you meant? Just wanted to be positive...be sure to remind me to remind you to remind me! Should I repeat that, please~~~LOL~~! Just teasing.

Uh, what did you say? Would you say that again? Can we find a card for that too? :)

Yes, what you said. LOL Just give them a nudge if you don't see them post their ornaments tomorrow. :)

And I saw your question later about the "ball gowns" - let's wait for New Year's Eve when Amy throws her big bash. I still have some gowns to design. LOL

[Billie]

Thanks, Meg - I think Willie Nelson's rendition is a little different than the traditional "Amazing Grace", but I thought it was pretty - I like his voice, almost no matter what he's singing. :)

Your fireplace scene is lovely as were all your Christmas Trees you posted yesterday. :)

[Billie]

Billie, I have been “ hit and miss” here lately. Life , especially at Christmas time can be overwhelming in our household and this is one active “ room “ on FR! lol

I can understand that - you're still going to make the New Year's Eve Ball here though I hope. :)

Again, Thanks!!

You are welcome - hope to see you, and your ornament, tomorrow. :)

[Billie]

thanks billie! you do beautiful work!

Thank you, Dolly - hope your wrist is healing well and you're back to using it 100% soon. Don't see much of you lately - everyone's so busy though. Thank you again. :)

[TASMANIANRED]

Very touching Bob. Thanks for pinging me.

Dolly, I just Read about how Snopes Replaced your Arlington Cemetery Pic with a Green Face, and Jaycee, you said Someone had Made a Sign Pop Up in Place of a Pic you had Saved that said, “Kiss my A**.” Several Years Ago, I was Storing All the Graphics I would Find on the Internet in my Email as Hot Links, and Many Months Later, I Happened to Look at One of the First One’s I had Saved, and, to my Horror, it had been Replaced with a Pic of a Middle Finger Sticking Up. :( That’s not the Worst of it, though; I’m Afraid that, in the Archives of FR, that Middle Finger may have Replaced the Flower I had Posted on Several Occasions! I Hope not, but that’s Probably what Happened. :( :( :(

[Billie]

Hi, Amy - I’m getting back to late Sunday posts, working forward to today’s and then will post Tuesday’s opening. So glad you were able to get some rest this weekend, and know you were glad to get some decorating done. Marissa’s probably gladder! :)

[Billie]

Amazing Grace is one of my always favorite songs. As a rule, I don’t click on music or video’s as it does not do well on my extra slow dial up connection. Your link was perfect, thank you for sharing.

I am glad you could listen to the link for Amazing Grace. It's also one of my favorites (I have so many favorites, but Amazing Grace isn't just for Christmas!)

I also know what you mean about dial up connections, because that's what I have, too, and streaming music doesn't work for me either - too much buffering. I have to download the music and then play it once I have it saved on my computer.

When I see fresh snow, I always marvel at how simple it is for God to cover all the scars on the earth, with a blanket of snow.

What an extraordinarily beautiful remark!

[Billie]

That’s so beautiful with the wreaths on all the grave markers. I remember reading about that company last year - such a remarkable thing to do.

[Billie]

I've reached TODAY'S Opening! Yay! And it is so sweet. Love those angels - and of course THE Child. Thank you for starting the week of Christmas with the Christ Child.

I'm Sorry, Dear Yorkie!

[Billie]

Love this, Meg. (and Clay Aiken’s “Mary Did You Know” is my favorite) :)

[Billie]

LOL! Love the graphic!

[Kitty Mittens]

Airline just called - the flight is back on!

Awesome, Yorkie! I'm Glad I Saw your Update!
