The Hall's Christmas 2010

This scrapbooking design personalized with Smilebox

 As promised from the Home for the Holiday's Blog Hop........a new Christmas 2010 smile box is ready.  I'm still trying to get the sewing room under control so we can once again gather for a Christmas Day dinner together.  Of course, it's not an easy task because it's where I work, but I think I'll be ready when everyone comes for the day. 

I've been working on a special project lately and it's not quite ready to share.  Our weather here in Florida has been very cold early in the season so I haven't been able to finish it.  There is only this week and next to get it completed for Christmas Day.  I think most of you would appreciate it perhaps more than my family would so I'm especially excited to share it with you. I hope to have pictures to soon...........but, for now it's under wraps!  Maybe a new smilebox is on the horizon?!  Anyway, Merry Christmas to all of you from our family to yours!  Hugs, Lynda

Last day.....

I hope each of you were able to run on over to Stacy West's "Buttermilk Basin" Home for the Holiday's blog.............it's the last day, which makes all of us very sad.  We've had a great time playing with all of you.....visiting with old friends and making new ones!  I promise YOU DO NOT WANT TO MISS HER RECIPE AND/OR HER PROJECT...
