merry, merry & Day 21

the house is amazing. You have done a wonderful job decorating it.
On the album what are you using to make the main pages is it acrylic sheets? Will you be doing an on-line class or something like this album in the near future?

when i found twopeasinabucket initially lots of years ago - i decided i liked your style and after that i only checked yours and taras names for new pages - i'm so glad because looking at your works of love makes me happy. all the best for Mr E's political growth and Master S's progress with life and may your creativity reach new boundaries in 2008. from a hot south africa.

I love the look of your home...I have been keeping up with your blog...You are such a wealth of info 24/7...thanks for being you! Merry Merry Merry to you, Chris & Simon....thanks for ALWAYS inspiring me...Cheers to 2008.....

Sure wished you hadn't shown us those plates! The last thing I should be purchasing right now is PLATES. I love those SO much, and check out the red and white polka dot mug and plate set! YuMMy! These blogs, so many of them, have really changed the way I approach and celebrate this season. I feel so very grateful for that! 3 days and counting... ENJOY THEM!

Beautiful! But very intimidating. How the heck do you have TIME for all of this???

Hi! did you make any christmas cards?

Your home looks beautiful and festive! Question: what color (paint) did you use for the accent wall pictured in the top right? I'm trying to find a good red and that ones looks promising. TIA

Thanks so much for sharing all of your album. I view it as a little "me" time to check in each day, with all of the other things that go on here it is so nice and relaxing to see what you do! Always puts a smile on my face and I just wanted to thank you for that.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas! Kristina

I had a great idea last night...I am going to take your Christmas book idea & turn it into a year in review book. It will be less pages, or I can do 2 pages a month? Not sure, the idea is still new to me.
Merry Christmas!!

Ali,
Just wanted to share a little after-Christmas tradition our family started last year: we display all the Christmas cards that we receive until the last day in December....then I take them all down and put them in a large yelloware bowl on the kitchen table...each night at dinner, when we are saying our prayers, we pull out one card and include that family in our prayer.
It was so special last year and I look forward to doing it again this year.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Kristy Gussio

This album is really something. I love it! I also love the glimpse into your beautiful home. Christmas should be so festive with your family. Enjoy!
