Thinking about:
How to get the most out of the holidays
with the least amount of effort.
Peace on Earth
starts right here.
My Charlie Brown Christmas tree.
It's small
decked out to the max.
Love it.
Making some cookies.
I already have red, white and green
cookie dough in the fridge....
Nope saving that for when the kids are here.
Eating cookies...
I can do that all by myself!
For sure some Chai tea...
or maybe Baileys.
Mandy and Jeff returning from French Polynesia.
They stayed in one of those Tahitian bungalows over the ocean,
came home to shovel snow in Flagstaff.
Buying new ornaments to exchange @ party.
Meeting my sons girlfriend tomorrow.
Accomplishments at work
I did good!
Glad it's the weekend.
Thinking about my glittersisters
and my anamcara
mi hermana

It seems bright this year.
Extending Yule greetings

Been thinking about you, ancestral sister!!! I am continuing to do cleaning in advance of Kristen's homecoming (actually a big project ongoing all fall). I discovered some Bailey's and some Amaretto when I cleaned out an under-counter cabinet. Love both in coffee (but I can't drink coffee after noon, and I can't start drinking booze that early!) What a dilemma! Maybe New Year's Eve would work, as I can sleep in the next day.
ReplyDeleteI love your banner Gemma. Bailey's sounds good and in fact I think I will pick some up. Kahlua sounds good too. You are all set for the holidays and you sound like you are in the spirit of things. Happy Holdays to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteWarmest wishes to you too, Gemma. Love your self-portrait. Oh, and I vote for the Bailey's.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful self-portrait and so glad you are back, Gemma! I miss your posts. Wondering if the portrait Dana Cooper did for her Different Strokes challenge is you! (Is it???)
ReplyDeleteThinking about you, too, dear Gemma. I love your header! I was craving Kahlua but hubby just never thinks to buy it. Last night he brought home gingerbread eggnog and some bourbon. Tasted just like Kahlua and cream to me. Yay. :) Cheers.
ReplyDeleteWell to add to the list
ReplyDelete* I missed you
* love the self portrait banner, its so 'you'
* Baileys, I think I need to pick some up. I like it straight up or over ice cream is good too!
Wishing you calm amidst all the fun of the season.
Big hugs coming your way.
Kate
I'm so glad you are back! Your self-portrait with the Christmas lights has a wonderful glow, as I bet your Charlie Brown Christmas tree does, too :)
ReplyDeleteS oglad you are back...Love you and happy Christmas!!!
ReplyDeletePeaceful holidays to you, my soul sister. May your life continue to be blessed. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely post, Gemma!
ReplyDeleteThe artwork is thoughtful and introspective.
You express so well all the facets of the holiday in your world!
Peace and joy to you!
Baileys is yummy this time of year, it goes in most hot drinks I find! Including chai!
ReplyDeleteAnd small personal trees are the most wonderful.
I was only mentioning you the other day in our kitchen, Julian said about Flagstaff getting snow and I said "Gemma's family lives there!" and he said, "How is she anyways???"
:)
Meaning you, how are YOU!?
I said, "Mystical, wonderful and lovely as always."

Dropping by to say it's nice to meet you and to thank you for the nice comments. I will stop by here more often.
