Almost here...

I have just about finished my cookie baking and fudge making....whew! I'm hoping for some time to relax and enjoy the holiday with family and friends. Hope everyone out there does the same!!! As you can see from the photo, I have been playing with my Strawberry Shortcake dolls. Everyone in the NE US got a bunch a snow this last week. This little snow scene is the only snow you'll see around here.
Merry Christmas Everyone!!!

Times flies

So much happening this time of year. Last week was the local parade...it was a disaster because it POURED. This time of year is usually our dry season but it rained most of the day. At least I was inside a car. We pulled a trailer decorated by the local dog groomer. I felt sorry for all the soaking wet kids.
Our tree is up and decorated, lights up on the house. I did some baking this week and we are headed to visit friends tonight. Still trying to coordinate visits with family. I have gotten a little sewing done. I actually dyed some fur red for a Valentine creation. I would also like to squeeze in some time for taking photos. It will be New Years before you know it!
Lexi and Lucy have made an appearance on all my Christmas cards since we moved to Florida. Usually it has a Florida theme but this year we went a little retro with a tinsel tree. Off to get ready to go out....

Christmas Tea Party for Toys

Welcome to the Dog Patch Christmas Tea Party for Toys. You can visit Bearbits for links to other tea parties. The critters, and a doll, in the critter room decided they should celebrate the holidays too.
First, Hettie the Ellie is having the Meeses, Merry & Chris, over for a spot.

Duchess, the cat, is hosting the little critters, Marmalade, Desdemona, and Rose.

Eugenia is asking Shannon to join her on this lovely afternoon.

Mrs Boyd and Kawaii are having a wonderful time.

The gang is having a wonderful get together.

And a wonderful time was had by all.

Merry Christmas to all!

Little Elf Swap

Vivian - viv out on a whim - hosts the best swaps!! Yesterday I received my elf from Jackie at fatjack Originals. He is totally wonderful!! I just love him. Fittingly he is holding a Teddy Bear. I sent Jackie Pidge the Peppermint Elf. Hopefully Viv will get her computer back shortly(being fixed) and will post photos of all the elves.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
