Happy Holidays!

This is the first Christmas EVER that I don't have

a tree up, I haven't sent Christmas cards and I've

not wrapped even one gift!

Nope, it's not a Grinch Christmas - it's been beyond

busy at work and I have a nasty sinus thing going

on so when I get home - I've just been

dropping on the couch!

Today is clean the house, wrap the presents, put

up the tree and hang the stockings day because

for Mr. Biff and I - tomorrow is our Christmas.

I am sharing some pictures of us (I don't

normally but since it's Christmas and all :)

This is another first for us - Mr. Biff is working

on Christmas day!   The restaurant he is working

at is serving upwards of 200 people tomorrow

between brunch and Christmas dinner.

(The Fabulous Mr. Biff is on the right)

So...first Christmas on my own with my "girls"...

*sigh*  I am going to stay in my jammies and

watch chick flicks all day!

I hope whatever you are doing, wherever you

are going you will be safe, happy and healthy!

Merry Christmas!

Peg & Mr. Biff & "the girls"!

Do I Hear An Echo of Laughter?

Ever read someone's blog and they seemed to be

sending you just what you need - just when

you need it?  It's what I love about blogging -

if you can't conjur up something you

can bet there's some talented person

out there that will!

Well this morning, with my cup of coffee, I was

perusing blogland and stopping by all my favs - when

I came to Angie's blog Echoes of Laughter.

Wow - I have been hemming and hawing (I think

that's what I've been doing or is it humming

and hawing? and what is hawing?...er, I digress)

Anywho....

I couldn't believe how easy Angie has made

it for me, you,  really - everyone to make these 

 beautiful, thoughtful Christmas gifts.

It's not just the product - altho everything looks

stellar - it's how Angie packaged things too - really

lovely! With a how-to for each step

including the labels.

She is sharing 10 Homemade Gift Ideas for

Friends and Neighbours like this one:

Peppermint Foot Soak (Love It!)  You can

find her "how to" here.

Angie also graciously shared her grandmother's sugar

cookie recipe amongst other things....heck, just

go on over and check it out....you too can be

amazed and inspired!

Thanks Angie for allowing me to share and

thanks for all the great ideas! (I'll be making

those cookies today!)

What are you waiting for?  Head on over

to see Angie @ Echoes of Laughter

and don't forget to say "hi" from me!

Hugs & blessings,

Sunday Funnies....

First a Christmas funny....

Oh my, the weekend really flew by - I got SOOOOO

much done tho - that makes me very happy!  A while back

I purchased this awesome hutch (you can read about it

here) only to find out when I moved that my new dining

room had a built in alcove for a hutch and my darling

new hutch was about a foot too wide!  YIKES!

So what did I do?  I did what every savvy blogger

would do - I scoured Craigslit once again and found

another hutch....making sure this time that it was

the right size and this one was already painted white!

Yeah!  Gotta love it!

The other hutch, by the way, is now living happily

in my family room - can you have too much

stylish storage?  I think not!

Hope your weekend's been a happy one!

Hugs & Blessings,
