A Christmas Without Bears?
I spent the weekend decorating for Christmas like many of you. My husband drug out all the boxes, stacked them in the center of the garage and asked “are you doing the bears this year?” ” Think I’ll skip a year” I said. “Maybe they’re getting a bit old, year after year.”
And then tonight I found these pictures…
“So you’re done now, right? I can put all these boxes away?” “Yes, all finished!”, I said. But that was before I found the photos.
I don’t have the heart to tell him my little friends can’t sit outside in plastic bins. I don’t know where I’ll put them now that all the decorations are up, but they have to come in and be part of our holiday tradition. Call me sentimental. He’s put away all the boxes so I think I’ll just link him to this blog post. Who can resist these bears?
While I’m working on finding a place for my bears, I found another picture for you! Would you like to win a few of these tiny little bundles? Packages of 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ squares of Lily & Will II!
Leave me a comment and 12 of you are going to win 3 little bundles each of yellow and aqua Lily & Will II! Oh the fun you can have with these little squares! I’ll announce the 12 winners Friday December 3rd!
Have a great week everyone!
Hugs,
Anne

Hi Anne, You have to have the Bears in the house! They’re going to be so lonely and heart-broken not to be with you and yours this Holiday season. Thank you for another year of inspiration and I look forward to next year terrific ideas. Have a Wonderful Holiday!

Every year when the decorations come down I find myself saying, “We have too much stuff.” It takes forever to get it all down and arranged. Just the thought of putting it all away again makes me exhausted. I debate over eliminating a few things just to make it a little easier. Then I open a box or see a photo and realize it has ALL become part of the fiber of our Christmas celebration and all of the decorations come out and find their proper homes. Someday, I’ll be too old for all of this, but in the meantime “Let the folly (or holly depending where we are in the decorating scheme) begin.”
I really would love to have some of your bundles.
