Counting down on my delayed posts.....

My delayed posting starts. For day two, I decided to do my snow photos since I love snow and this may just be the big dump we'll get, who knows? Underneath the photos on the right is my journaling about this day. I also attached another sample of my newfound snowflake which I folded here this time. Last year I actually posted on how to make the 3d ones.

So it continues.... Haven't been very good with my promises lately. Who said I can keep blogging everyday this December? Guess that's me huh! And I'm afraid this will keep on going. But hey, it's the holiday season. Life gets in the way. Work is busier and there's a long list of chores to be done at home too. Aside from that, none of my holiday projects have been done; haven't sent any card to anybody which making them is another project turning out to be a failure too. Oh well, we'll get there. They will be made but sending them out is another day. Trouble with having families and friends from the distance, you have no choice but to make it to the deadline or it can wait another year over again...Which is why I created this blogline. It also saves me from making my traditional newsletter every year. This one keeps me close to home- anytime.

Who doesn't want to have a perfect Christmas? If money were no object, what would you do? If given the time in the world, how would you spend your Christmas? If guilt is non-existent, where would you be? If Santa Claus is for real, what would you wish for? If there's no hindrance, what would be your perfect Christmas? Hmmmm.... If I won the lottery (which is what most of us would wish for, I bet!), let me see.... Has anyone seen the commercial about a girl that made a phone call and she was screaming when she finally said it a few times that she did win the lottery?! It turned out that she ended up on a boat cruising with a loved one. My honey and I were thinking of doing the same thing instead of going fishing like the latest commercial with a bunch of guys.

And the countdown continues....

Growing up, we were never introduced to an Advent Calendar. I'm sure the rich kids living in the cities were more familiar with this. Our version was more of going to the church from the fifteenth of the month and count the days as they drew closer. Our treat would be to buy an early breakfast from the little stalls along the sidewalk hall of the church. As soon as we arrive for the early morning mass, we can't wait to have a taste of that fresh cooked/baked smell of the hall. It was like opening a small gift everyday and everytime, we get so excited. We knew what we were having but I guess it's the feeling that comes with it all, having to have an early mass and a sitdown breakfast with my siblings, that was it.

My Advent now in Real Life?

1st- it started with a grin on my honey's face.

2nd- he handed me my old Nikon that broke for quite a while (remember?) and asked if I can turn it on.

3rd- surprisingly, he got me a poinsetta last night which I usually get myself.

4th- he had another grin on his face then told me not to come downstairs till he said so.

5th- Ready! Ta-Da!!! he had the sewing machine assembled, another repair done!

Now if that is not happiness, I don't know what is? My honey is the best and have I told you that he's the best! Ok, alright. Here's sharing with you my pretty poinsetta, from our home to yours....

Have a good start to the week....
