Yeah, it was a poopy "summer" if you could call it that. I wish I was Down-Under or someplace warm right now! Sitting in the car in the sun felt good but........

I need sugar free. That's kind of why I've given up on cocoa. Too much sugar isn't good for me and I've given up consuming artifical sweeteners. But, yours sure does look good!

ladyscrapalot Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 So the calendar says Dec. 7. Monday we had record temps in the mid 80’s. Today we snow flurries although nothing is sticking. And then it’s still autumn in our backyard. Only in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a gorgeous back yard and mountain. I remember Jody saying 40ºs is hot, I know that's getting or in our 90ºs! Right now I'm bundled up and have a heater on me and I can't get warm, I hear the furnace going too... And, this isn't even winter or really frigid cold yet, although now I see the temp has dropped to 35º - a few degrees above freezing and your 1.67C! Hard to believe when I hear you and Laraine saying how "hot" it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngaire Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 We are now on the same temp Marilyn!!? except you are 35F and we are 35C? I'll happily swap with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing them at Jody's, we don't have them here (except in Pet shops!). Another cute little bird, I don't think we have here. What kind is it Jane?

Boatlady Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Day 8- Hanging Since we don't have a fireplace in this Florida house I decided to hang the stocking (I made most of them) in the dining room windows.

princessrunningfingers Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 My hanging photo. This ornament was made by my daughter when she was into jewelry making. It originally was on a white ball, but it broke in storage and I had to replace it with a clear one this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariJ Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 So, yesterday I'd hung Christmas stockings. As I took this photo, I realized the Teddy Bear made out of my Mom's coat was in the shot and today it is 5 years since she died. The hanging sign over my stocking is "Be naughty, save Santa the trip" which always hung over my stocking. (??!!) and the little pink and purple ornament/doll hanging ornament is one Jody sent me long ago because it reminded her of a purple ScrapGirl and that was how we met. Just out of sight hangs a gingerbread man ornament Jody sent me another year. I keep them there all year. The second shot shows my sister and my stockings hanging together - and lots of other hanging things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crutched outside to start my car which hasn't been driven in awhile - took my book to read while it warmed up. On my way back in I took a photo of what used to be my Fairy Garden, now it's all packed away for next year. Awww so sorry it is cold up there that is one thing that I love about Florida. How exciting to think of your fairy garden all winter till it comes to life again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bear really IS a treasure, made of my Mom's soft, cozy winter coat. I fogot to say the stockings were made by my Godmother/aunt - the whole family has them but mine and my cousins were first as when I was born my Mom wanted something bigger that would hold gifts, not stocking stuffers. And, no! My sister will love your comments but it's the angle of the pic, all the stockings are the same size (about 3 ft long) although she DID make smaller boots. (About 1 ½ feet). They are all so special and treasured - we counted after she died and it was well over 60 through many years, the last one made 8 years ago for our littlest famliy member.
