Option B - but also sort of option A too....
This is the gingerbread greenhouse sitting on my kitchen island currently. Sarah won it at her work holiday party last week - they were giving away the gingerbread houses made by the bakery department and she got first pick! After being on display...

Option B Snowflakes or Stars
It's pretty cold right now (for this area anyway :P ) but there is no snow in the forecast any time soon, so I guess I get to keep on dreaming and wishing for a few snowflakes to appear.

Option B Tied Up with String
Just a fun little tag with a tree cutout and strings across the cut out area - I've been wanting to try making something like this for a while so it was fun to have the challenge as an excuse to spend some extra time today making it happen finally :)

Option A Seasonal Selfies
I've already done selfies with both the Grinch and Santa, so here's my legs and feet all decked out in some of the holiday wear I enjoy during the month of December.

Option A It's All in the Details \ There's No Place Like Home
I ran with the option A details prompt initially, but this also reflects option B home...

Option A Wondrous Weather Report
We haven't had any snow, but we have already had a couple of stretches of very cold temperatures with another on the way this weekend. I am still hoping that there will be snowflakes in our future this winter, it is going to get cold enough!

Option A Family Traditions
I've enjoyed having a fireplace and mantle to decorate and gather around since our house in CO. I decorate the top of the mantle with a pine garland and lights as well as other holiday decor. Some years it has been a nativity set or my German Dept 56 houses, or...
OLW for the Holidays - Santa
I found Santa, the real one this time, at our local evening market :) It always makes me happy to see Santa, and since I don't have any kids to take currently I just go myself!

Option A - Favorite Family Recipe
I found the recipe for "Christmas Bread" in a magazine in 1993 and gave it a try as I had a new bread machine that year. It was a hit and I think I've made it every year since. If I try to suggest something else the kids all insist they still want this. It is a...

Option A - Stories of Christmas Past
This is my vintage tinsel Christmas tree. It was my dad's special childhood tree that he got when he was two years old, and I loved it as a kid and used it as a night light during the holidays. I was so happy when he gave it to me after I got married. The...
Option A Deck the Halls (show off your decor)
Hubby hasn't helped decorate the yard in several years, but all of his walks around our neighborhood this year inspired him. He moved the old fountain away from the house flower bed and decorated it with icicle lights. We pulled out the snowflake...
Shop Til You Drop
Shopping for the groceries when everyone is going to be home for a visit is a big endeavor, and pricey too! Worth it though.

We are not traveling for Christmas this year- all but the grandbaby and his parents (sad face) are coming here to our house. We have an old fashioned lamp post by the entrance to our front walkway, so the lamp represents our house on this tag. We also have pine cones from all of the pine trees...
We're more than a little obsessed with Little Sleepies and today was a very happy mail day. I leaned into the gifting print and brought in some sweet touches, including that adorable cookie number.

I scrapped 4 very different Christmases in our family:
* first Christmas with my husband (and first live tree!)
* son's first Christmas (we saw 3 Santas and spent Christmas morning unwrapping fake presents in the hotel lobby while waiting for the Georgia Aquarium to open)
* Christmas 2020 and...

I wasn't planning to scrap these strawberry picking photos again but I saw the strawberries in the kit. Plus the bees also make me think of how proud Bedner's is of their hard-working bees
