thank you all!

Hi friends! I've missed blogging this week but haven't had energy to get on here and look around. I feel mainly numb, like "This isn't happening" but sad, very angry with the hospital, my dads dr., etc. A mix of common emotions at times like this. I know that I can't shut down like part of me wants to; the busier I stay the less I have time to "think". He's always on my mind but all the unanswered questions that are pounding away in my head don't surface when I am busy doing things. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your support, kind thoughts and prayers! It means the WORLD to me ♥

With that being said, I need to try to focus on things that I love and that make me smile this time of year... so here are some pretty pics to share...


Love this tree, love the staircase, love the green paint on the walls... its not MINE though.


Isn't this the cutest lighting fixture; love those lil lampshades!



Oh and to have a fireplace of my own some day is such a DREAM! Love the mantle and the cutest gingerbread stockings too ♥



Look at this gingerbread display My children would be at the table 24/7 feasting on all the candy pieces on the gingerbread houses;)

I recently won a giveaway, shown here from Gina at Simply Heart and Home; she was hosting a 12 Days of Christmas giveaway!
Its a Country stamp set from Stampin' Up... I just need to purchase a couple new stamp pads!



~So how are you Christmas plans coming along? Are you done shopping?~

Love you all,
Noelle ♥

I know this is a really hard time for you. Continued love to you from me, and have fun with your new stamp set. It'll be nice for you to have something new to play and be creative with.
