Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Hi friends! It is really cold here and we have PLENTY of snow!

I want to share with you my lovely Christmas gifts I received from our friend June.
Does she know me or what? A beautiful, pink ornament! I l♥ve it June! AND she also included this gorgeous pink, sparkly floss. Aren't the deer on the card precious? I have that little card on display in the cubby shelf. :)
Madeleine asked me what I want for Christmas. I told her she does not have to get me a thing. Could she just please finish painting Miss Mabel's portrait? And so she did. Hooray! Isn't it wonderful? I love it!
Now that I have these two rascals side by side in the cubby shelf, you know what I need don't you? Yes, a portrait of Murphy. I am hoping Madeleine gets inspired during her long Winter Break to paint his portrait also. ;)

All five of us, and my BIL, went to see Rogue One this weekend! WOW! It was awesome. I am NOT going to give anything away. I will say this Star Wars is very, very different from any other one. Go see it!

I am still stitching up my mom's angel ornament. I will share that with you next time. :)

Have a wonderful week my friends! I am going to bake some Christmas cookies! I am thinking Wookie Cookies. ;) Remember the gingerbread Wookie Cookies I made last year? HERE
If I had more time and less HEADACHE I would figure out how to make K-2S0 cookies. He is my new favorite character. And Jyn! She is super!

Stitching and praying,
Vickie

Good Morning Vickie .....

What beautiful gifts you have to enjoy and PINK! June certainly does know you well and she did a beautiful job on the ornament! Just lovely.

Madeleine has such an amazing gift! Her painting is awesome! I really love it! Seeing the two paintings side by side in your cubby is really special! Another treasure to love!

I hope you have a good day my friend! I am so glad you enjoyed the movie!

What a beautiful portrait and the ornament from June is lovely as well. Unfortunately I hated Rogue One (except the final 3 minutes) but that didn't surprise me as I am a huge fan of the original trilogy and nothing will ever compare to that for me.

Justine said...

Love the paintings and the ornament is so pretty. The pink sparkly thread will be fun to use too. Sounds like you had fun at the movie. I hope you have a wonderful week. Very cold here and a small amount of snow; had lots of harsh winds. Happy stitching, and Merry Christmas!

Glad you were able to get out and enjoy the movie! I find movie theaters to be so loud and I bring along ear plugs - how do they affect your headache?

Love your sweet puppy portraits - one more to go!

Wow! First of all, I bookmarked the pink ornament from June, as I was thinking of doing a second ornament in those colors for my tree for next year... perfect! But then, the portraits of the dogs are so fabulous!! wow!! Madeleine is quite talented! She MUST do one of Murphy now... they are a set! Hugs!

I have read a few of spin off stories by Timothy Zahn mainly, but afew others too,all really good reads and they tie in well with the original films,so I am excited to see this film.

Such a sweet pink gift from June--if anyone ever wonders what to get you, all they have to do is "think pink!" (or poodles)!

Merry Christmas to you all...
