Christmas In The Making~ Part Two

Dear Sisters,

Holiday Greetings! I hope this note of Christmas cheer finds you all in good health, high spirits and with only a box or two left to check off on your to do lists! I’m getting there! Let’s see. The tree is decorated, packages are mailed, cards sent, most of my wrapping is completed and the Christmas dinner menu is coming together. Isn’t it amazing what we can accomplish in just two short weeks? Whew! But wait! Christmas isn’t supposed to be all about rushing through the motions only to rise Christmas morning feeling exhausted, head spinning and your checkbook in the red. So, let’s slow things down a bit and pick up where we left off last time. Now where were we? Oh, yes! We were in the middle of MAKING Christmas! Come on in, Michael Buble Christmas is playing and the kettle is on!

    Deb: You’re somethin’ else girl. What great ideas! Farm girls are easy to buy for. I bought myself cowboy boots for Christmas (something my family thought was dumb). But what do they know. I love em. Have a blessed Christmas and let the new year be the best. Yours, Bonnie

    So true  Bonnie! Hey, we farmgirls know what we like! LOL! Blessings and thanks so much for reading! 🙂 xo Deb

    Debbie, your Christmas tree is stunning. OMGoodness! Did I just say something made from chicken wire was stunning?!?! I’ve already put on my calendar to make a similar one next November. 🙂 I already can’t wait to see how you decorate it for spring. We are so blessed from you using your gift of creativity. Thank you! May you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a new year filled with joy.

    Well, thank you Rita K.! I’m so happy you liked the chicken wire tree! 🙂 Thanks for reading, always…

  4. Merry Christmas Deb to you and your family. May joyous have a healthy prosperous New Year. Love the tom cage tree and I actually saw a special about that lobster tree, I thought it was way cool. Loved the pencil sepia pic, I will have to try that. Keep up the fun work and the great blogs. Neta

    Hi Neta!

    Merry Christmas to you and yours and thanks so much for the visit! Hugs and love, Deb!

    Deb! Last week in my MaryJanes Farm blog on Glampers on the Loose I featured a picture of our town’s creative lobstah pot tree! You’re just a shore away and our towns think alike creatively! They look so similar that if you didn’t examine closely, they could be the same one! Merry Christmas! Sandi

    How fun is that? I just learned that our Plymouth Lobster Pot tree was inspired by your Maine Lobster Fisherman’s Association! Thanks for the note and a very Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. 🙂 xo Deb

    Merry Christmas to a very dear farmgirl and her family. I’ve been helping out family members or been glued to my sewing machine so whew I have a ton of stuff to catch up on. Always so enjoy seeing all the wonderful crafty ideas you have. Still so inspired by what you do. Did I miss the redo on a dresser you were working on? My little project keeps haunting me every time I enter the garage. AND I am gonna do it. Have an awesome holiday.
    Hugs
    Merrilyn

    Merry Christmas to you my dear! So great to hear from you! I hope you’ll share your sewing projects on your Facebook or send me some pics via email so I can keep up with you too! I’ll send you some on the dresser too!

    2014 you’ll get that dresser DONE! 🙂 hugs! Deb

    Merry Christmas to you and your family. I have put my ‘makings’ away for now but you have sure tweaked some ideas with the chicken wire/tomato cage – will get busy after this most blessed Holiday. God Bless y’all. Joan

    Hi Joan! I just thought of this… I think a chicken wire tomato cage tree would make a fine trellis in the garden as well. Smaller ones for pots would be perfect for climbing black eyed Susan’s or morning glories, snap peas, dwarf pole bean varieties and plenty more I imagine!

    Merry Christmas to you and yours Joan! Blessings too! hugs, Deb

    Thank you Brenda! Right back  at cha sistah! xo Deb

    Much love from Napa, Teri

    Hi Teri and family! So great to hear from you! Sending love to all and wishing you the best in 2014!
