Christmas Countdown

What makes a Happy Home? I love, love, love to take care of my family. For me, creating a home that is warm and inviting, where everyone feels welcome is pure joy! The smell of fresh laundry just in off the clothesline, a neat and tidy home and garden, a good home cooked meal, a few desserts here and there, the love of family, friends and fellowship all help to make our home a Happy Home. Join me as we celebrate the holidays, the birthdays and the every days!

What's more fun than a shopping trip?

An all day shopping extravaganza with the women in your family!



We've got about 8-10 Aunts, Cousins, Mothers and Daughters all set to do a full day of shopping in Lancaster County next Saturday.




Why the photo's you ask? Just some random fall love:) Enjoy your day!

Oh Leann!
I so love the front door pics. The rocker is just gorgeous and so homey. I love the pots of geraniums on either side of your beautifully colored door. How Fall is that? Beautiful sweetie, just beautiful. I would certainly love the all day shopping, and would so love to tag along. So, make sure you take lots of pics. They are always so wonderful. Can't wait.

Congrats on your 100+ anniversary. I am so thrilled and I have so enjoyed coming to visit with you. Please enter my name in the drawing, and I am also a follower. Thanks for sharing sweetie.

Country hugs, Sherry
