Joining in with LeeAnna and friends to share some likes for this week! First some photos I took, and some other fun stuff, then I’ll respond to LeeAnnas prompts for this Thursday before the New Year!
Last week I shared that I had splurged and bought the 12 Days of Christmas mystery box from Colorado Cross Stitcher. I showed all 12 striped numbered little packages.
The first six I opened were 2 patterns, 2 needle minders, a scissor fob, a thread hopper and a pack of needles.
Also a large piece of beeswax, I think. It doesn’t really have an identifing label, but I’m sure that is what it is!.
Last but not least, another pattern and a cute red scissors in a red leather sheath. Yesterday we decided to take down the tree. It had been up since Dec 8th. Definitely time!
Now for the prompts:
For Dec 28, 2023
Would you rather kiss in Paris or kiss in a tent in the woods on NYE?
Wouldn’t Paris be romantic? And so might a tent in the woods, but cold! 🥶 If I was 40 years younger, I’d pick Paris! Today though, I’ll choose, my own living rom in front of the fire, with a glass of Pinot Noir wine.
would you rather be at a big fancy party where you all scream happy new year at midnight, or at home on your sofa or with a couple friends playing cards etc
We often went to house parties when we were younger, not big and fancy, but several couples and there were games and food and bubbly!! Again, at this point in my life, see answer above! 🙂
The 12 days of Christmas box was such a nice gift to yourself and so fun to open a bit at a time. I'm with you on staying home, and I'll take a white zin, thank you. ;) How nice that your tree will be put to good use - I assume as mulch? Where do you get your Christmas tree?
ReplyDeleteYes, the trees are chopped for mulch! We got ours this year at Menards. It’s a regional big box store like Home Depot or Lowe’s. It is possible to get a cutting permit and go to the Black Hills or the Big Horn Mountains and cut a tree. But those days are over for us! No more tromping in the snow and uneven ground for these two old fogeys!
DeleteI would think we must be boring to want the "stay at home" answers, but I think we're just fine. Sure we've been there and done that when we were younger, but sure wouldn't go back.
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas mystery package from Colorado Stitcher has some really fun stuff, Judy! I think you'll be stitching all kinds of fun things in 2024. Cheers to a Happy New Year! 🍷
ReplyDeleteReal trees make such a mess but they are worth it for the scent, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteYou received lots of fabulous charts in your package. Looks like it will be a busy year. Happy New Years.
ReplyDeleteawe this is just lovely... all the little gifts are cool, I'd like them as surprises. Love red scissors!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great gifts in your mystery box. What fun! I like staying home with the TV on. I'm lucky if I make it to midnight! Happy New Year!!
