'Tis the season to be crafty and homey...

thank you to jeni and co. for these AWESOME stamps !!!

mom, the curtains look beautiful


no more hanging mismatched bedsheets - yes !

it's Christmas in the bathroom

tea bins can make cute decorations
love the winter dream tea from coffee bean

gunther has been nice this year in Nice
he's holding our presents until we get our tree

tonio and i watched Elf yesterday
next time you do, please back up and play the part where he "attempts" to put the star on the tree, do it at least 2 or 3 times - we laughed until tears flowed !!!

Joyeux Noël from Nice, France
I'm missing my family, of course, and the California Christmas lights,
but I'm so thankful to be here with my husband.
Wherever he is, that's where home will be.
I love him so much.  Thank you Jesus for him.

Blessings,
Lindsey
