I’ve been enjoying my Advent calendars for these past eighteen days…

the boxes for the one have been on the stairs with a few elsewhere when all 24 wouldn’t fit…

as they’ve been opened I’ve rearranged them until now there aren’t any on some of the steps…

they have been filled with items from paper clips, a label maker, seeds, purple and handmade items, as well as a favourite chocolate bar ;-)…

the ones on the wall are turned once opened and I’ve enjoyed all the treats in them as well… from a variety of nuts to a few with chocolate in them;-)…

these are the hands that have filled all of them, some with instructions from far away, lol…

went to Shelmerdine with a friend to pick up some items from a fundraiser she was connected with…

always a treat to wander through all the areas of the greenhouse… even found a little something for someone’s next year’s Christmas present…

this planter was so pretty and the balls were so nice, especially with the snow on them…

when I got home I hung the swag that came from the fundraiser on the front door… not sure if the cord needs to be shorter…

lovely treat;-)…

enjoyed time in the computer room wrapping up the Christmas presents…

this year there was just a small box to go to Ottawa which went into the mail a few days ago… a few items were ordered and delivered directly to them…

the remainder of the presents are now under the tree…

happy to have this piece of work completed…

Monday morning I ran around… brought up the snow people and the big sleigh from the basement…

a glittery cloth, a stool, and the setting was ready…

took awhile, and a few bits of rearranging, but eventually they were ready to go…

from the window, to the table under the tree, to those in the sleigh on the floor, the snow people took over the front window area…

finally got around to changing the living room table…

it has been the same since springtime, yikes…

took a little while to put away the shells, crystals, stones and books, as well as the sarongs that had been on the bottom of each of the four areas…

next, I found the Christmas box that had all the smaller purple, silver, white, and clear ornaments…

filled three squares and then brought down three angels that have special meaning for me to complete the last spot…

I’m pleased with the result although I haven’t quite decided what goes on the top, lol…

got these two little cuties while grocery shopping the other day…

the tree will join the rest of the forest once they make their way out for their seasonal display…

not sure if the snowperson will join the melt (group of snow people), or make its way onto the Christmas tree…

bought a few tree greens while at the grocery store…

dug out two birch branches, some small white twigs, and a stem of red berries from the shed…

went through a Christmas box and brought out some large ornaments…

last week I’d brought in the planter from the top step so it could thaw out so all the dead plants could be pulled out…

took the planter into the garden, removed all the dead plants and added in the greenery…

after everything was included, it was carried to the front steps…

added some solar lights…

looks good…

had fun with flowers Monday morning…

picked up the bouquet on December 29th when we were out grocery shopping;-)…

as there were already flowers in the living room, the bouquet went into the den…

the living room flowers were done, so I rearranged the newer flowers into three little vases…

playing with flowers makes me so happy;-)…
