Dog Waiting for Santa [Video]

I posted this video last year and it continues to be one of my favorites. You won't believe how smart this little Jack Russell Terrier is and you'll love watching him leave treats for Santa. At the end of this charming video there is an opportunity to download the photo as wallpaper.

Webster would not have this much self control. He would have gobbled down that plate of cookies in a flash and that would have been his Christmas present.

The Beginning of A Long Love Affair

I just ran across this amazing composite photo that I've been saving on my computer for ages. I don't know where I found it . . . I just know I love it. This is definitely a two-way affair, isn't it? Can't you just feel the love?

Hanging My Wreath Today




I need to go out to the barn/garage today and find my pine cone wreath and my tree. As in past years, I've waited until it's freezing and my hands don't work. These three country images reminded me I'd better hurry up.

Great Kitchen in An Alabama Lake House

I love the simple painted cabinets against the unpainted knotty wooden walls and floors. Designed by Tracery Interiors. Click here to see other rooms in this lakeside cottage on Silverock Cove at Smith Lake. Very nice indeed.

Another Paper Snowflake Tutorial [Origami]


Garland made from origami paper, dental floss and tape.


So this is how it's done?


I really love the red snowflakes on brown paper tied with string.
Aren't these red snowflakes beautiful? I can't take credit for the photos or the instructions either. Head on over to How About Orange for all that.
