I agree she is so talented and adorable too! I can't tell you how many times I look at her bags and hope to purchase one. I love having family and friends over for the holidays. It's the only time of the year that we can get everyone together in one room. Have a great trip Christy, well deserved. Thank you for sharing your art with us Jeanne and your generosity!

I'd love to have this purse, it would be great for my sketckbook and watercolors ! Xmas tradition here in France is about the same as in the US, it is the opportunity to gather the whole family.

One of my favorite holiday tradition is when we all load up into the car and drive around the neighborhood looking at Christmas light displays. Some of the neighborhoods go all out and every house on the block is decorated with all the bells and whistles!

What an awesome bag! One of my favorite traditions is our Christmas morning breakfast. It's a special breakfast with yummy treats!

Wow, this bag is gorgeous! Our new favorite tradition is our elf "Felix". My boys love searching for his new perch each morning.

My new holiday tradition (and this is only my 2nd year in my own home) is to take all the cards from the year before, trim them up in fun shapes and sizes, and hange them from the mantle with ribbon as a garland. It's a great way to save and display the cards each year, but not the whole card.

Boy, I'm with you. I've needed a camera bag since I gave my last one to granddaughter with my old camera.
Looks great. Thanks for the offer.

Lovely bag! My favorite holiday tradition is giving my dad chocolate covered cherries every year since I was a kid then helping him eat them!

Would love the camera bag--too cute! Crafting Christmas gifts makes each year so much more fun and attending our church service on Christmas Eve tops off this special event.

I am not sure why but adults stay up the Christmas Eve and wish eachother Merry Christmas after 12. It is kinda like the most special people getting in first. Then we visit the kids in their roomsd while they are sleeping and whisper 'Merry Christmas' in their sleepy ears.....so sweet the reaction sometimes.
Hugs

Thanks for a chance to win a goody!
On the run up to Christmas, I labour over handmade cards and pray over messages of thanks and blessings that I have for friends and people who've helped me throughout the year. I decorate everything and put it in the mail, and wait for it to reach the recipient. Sometimes, more than one letter is necessary!

My favorite Christmas tradition - mexican food on Christmas day. I like that we're non-traditional in our.....traditions. :)

Our favorite holiday tradition is to decorate the tree with candy canes- then on Christmas eve and on, we drink hot chocolate and use a candy cane to stir! It's a nice hint of mint to our hot chocolate!!

It has become a tradition that i take my nephews to Christmas Village to see all the displays and then we come back to my house to make gingerbread houses and have a sleepover.
Posted by: Michele L. | December 07, 2011 at 07:58 AM
My favorite tradition is riding around to see the lights. There are some people who synchronize their lights to music via radio frequency...it is so cool!!
Love the camera bag!
