Hi Debbie, It looks pretty at your place with all the snow! I especially like the light pole with greenery. Drive safe, and Happy Thanksgiving!

Love the snow photos ! Glad your church had such great success with the craft fair !
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you, Debbie, and to your family! What a wonderful craft fair. You and your fellow parishioners must be thrilled with the $6000 that was raised. I saw so many things I would have liked to explore further, LOL! Loved the painted glassware with the cardinals; love me some hand-made soaps and candles; love me Christmas florals. And the beautiful autumn wreaths I saw and the table runners, oh my! Truly this craft fair has something for everyone. I probably would have gotten stuck at the gourmet foods stand, LOL! I'm a sucker for Godiva chocolate :) Your outdoor decorations look fabulous - as always. You seem to outdo yourself every year, don't know how you and Joe do it. So lovely to see the snow with the lights in the pale morning light, too. But real snow - boo hiss. We've had it here too, way too early for moi! Take care. I hope you enjoy your T-Day feast before you head off to work. I know you will be spreading love and joy amongst your patients.
ReplyDeleteYou had so many great vendors....it's no wonder the event made the church $6000! Your front yard Christmas decor is over the top this year....I have hung a wreath on the door and that's it...lol! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones...hugs...
ReplyDeletewow, what an amazing craft fair, so many wonderful items! Glad you were able to raise so much money.
ReplyDeleteTake care there, with all the snow expected.
Happy Thanksgiving day! How many pretty things!!!
