Well, I’ve got an old home Christmas tour scheduled this weekend, and if they allow it, I’ll try to take some photos. I think you’d enjoy seeing some of the pretty old homes in Nacogdoches? Other than that excursion, I may go shopping at one of the local antique malls or the local thrift shop.
Do you have anything fun planned this weekend?
Looks like school’s out for the holidays (and for many years)
fun wooden ties (with a tutorial) – these would be pretty on a package, too!
a fabulous and inexpensive way to upcycle wooden spools and decorate for Christmas
a sweet little Christmas vignette
a festive way to welcome guests to a Christmas party
a gorgeous image of a Japanese maple tree, decorated with snow
adorable gingerbread mittens
an adorable way to decorate Christmas presents using small branches and leftover yarn

Outstanding images, Kim! And yes, I’d love to see the homes if you get the chance to snap pictures!
Unfortunately, the home tour was SO crowded that I didn’t have an opportunity to take photographs. However, I’m going to contact the homeowners to see if they’d be open to letting me feature their homes on my blog. Hopefully, they will say “yes”.
I really appreciate the Japanese Maple in the snow. We don’t get snow here in southeastern NC {or maybe just a dusting}, but nothing like the heavy snows I experienced as a child in central Ohio. I miss the snow, but I don’t miss the cold and shoveling the drive and walk ways. It does get cold here, even freezing, and I can do without that! I remember when I worked security on an Ohio campus. In the middle of the night, I heard the snow softly landing on the ground and the trees. Heavy and thick. With few foot prints, the whole campus looked gorgeous glittered with fresh snow. That was probably over 12 years ago. It’s something I miss.
I still remember waking up to beautiful snow the last day we were in Maine. I remember that although there was about a foot of snow on the ground, it didn’t seem that cold to me. Not like Texas where the winters can be biting cold especially if it’s windy. I also remember the crunch of the snow. So wonderful! I can, for sure, see how you miss it.
