Day One of Christmas Joy......

It has been a sad year for

so many

American families,

so this year

instead of writing

a lot on my

Christmas Joy post,

I thought I would just

share

a little of my home

at 

Christmas time...

Most of my decorations

are hand made by me

or

are presents I 

have been given 

through the years,

I can pretty much tell you

where each item

came from....

they mean that much to me.

I received this little pillow

at a cross-stitch get together

at our Christmas party.

The lady that made it was a

great needle artist 

& 

she was a nurse.

The picture on the bottom shelf

was a gift from a couple

that I babysit for years ago

&

the snowlady, tree and house,

on the first shelf,

was a gift from a dear

friend in Davis, CA.
