Day 6:
Every year I've made our christmas cards but this year, I decided to change it up a bit and order them! I know, so not me, but it's really OK! :) But what I've kept the same is how I address the envelopes. Last year, it was fun with stickers...this year, I wanted to play it up a bit on my handwriting!
Day 7:
(2-page)
I wanted to share the beginnings of how our home is decorated for the season. It's not finished yet but I wanted to share the new decorations for this year. First, its the placement of the tree...its usually in front of the windows, but this time I wanted it next to the fireplace and the first thing you see when you walk into the room (from all directions). The furniture placement is a bit "cozy" but I like it that way. :)
cont'd Day 7:
The Santa Claus is a new night light given to Joey from one of our neighbors as a pre-holiday gift. It's new home is in Joey's bedroom... He LOVES Santa Claus!
Day 8:
(2-page)
Happened to be my 'Errands Day'...my errands day is usually 3 -1/2 hours long so I had a lot to do before picking up Joey at preschool. Braving the shopping crowds usually makes my blood pressure rise, ha-ha, but on this day...it wasn't that bad.

The paper on the polka-dot pocket is actually one of the gift wrapping papers I bought. I {heart} Target! Inside the pocket is paperwork I received from Joey's preschool that day! They are definitely celebrating Christmas at his school; Freddy the Friendly Snowman! Too cute!
Day 9:
Starts with a playlist of Christmas songs we play throughout the house. My favorite this is year is "Sleigh Ride" by KT Tunstall. Although, Faith Hill's "Where are you Christmas?" is more fitting.

...is our Christmas tree! It's so pretty at night time! It's 9-feet tall and we still had to cut a little at the bottom for it to fit with the tree stand. This is our favorite tree from all the year's past. It's so full and gi-normous!!
Day 10:
Cookie Exchange!
I was invited to go to a Cookie Exchange last week; its my first. I had such a wonderful time! Thank you Christina for being such a wonderful host! So many goodies to share and eat! I made Cranberry Almond & White Chocolate cookies! I have to say, they were delish! I loved (and ate) it so much the following morning I made Cherry Almond & Dark Chocolate cookies for my hairstylist -- equally delish!
cont'd Day 10:
We had to display the name of our dessert along with recipe cards (shown in the previous photo)...and this is what I made!

I love peeking into the Setti household! So neat to get to see pieces of your home and what goes on during the holiday season. I love, love, LOVE all of your pages! Keep them comin'! I'm going to have to borrow that "pocket" idea. Nice to be able to slide random pieces of paper in.
Loving it! I love the stitching on your playlist page AND how you wrote and stamped on the canvas page! Those cookies look yummy :) Ummm, for my cookie exchange tomorrow - I bought them :) hee hee!
