I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

Christmas Cottage Journal 2011

Happy Belated Rudolph Day!!

I know... I missed posting on the 25th!!

Well, it was one of those weekend's where what I intended to do, didn't happen!

My oven caught fire ( small flame, no worry) but that lead to buying a new range, refrigerator and TV!!

Don't Ask...

Anyway, I got a bit behind.......

There is always next month on the 25th!!

In this post, I want to share with you last year's Christmas Cottage Journal magazine ...

I bought this in Sam's Club last year and loved it .....

I will let the pictures do the talking.....

























Then there is a section of recipes after all the Decorating Themes and Ideas.

Reminds me a bit of the layout of the Spirit Of Christmas Books........

I hope you enjoyed it!

I am looking forward to this season's Christmas Cottage Journal as I now subscribe to the magazine.

    A fire....oh dear, that must have been very scary. I'm glad you weren't hurt!!

    I enjoyed looking at the pages of your book. There are so many fabulous Christmas Trees, it would be hard to pick a favorite. They had some pretty wreaths as well.

    Thanks so much for sharing and take care!

Thanks again for sharing, must be a lot of work for you to do this for us. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!

    I, too, have this magazine. The photo of the fireplace with the 10 needlepoint stockings is just so incredible! I can imagine seeing this sight on a Christmas house tour, can't you! What fun!
