I got to spend part of my day with a friend "crafting" and visiting. She was suppose to be at an outdoor art show selling her Monster dolls, but it is rainy and cold here so she stayed home. This was lucky for me because I got to visit with her and even was given a doll! They are so cute and charming, each come with their own little tag and tell a tale about the doll. If you are looking for a Christmas gift you should check out her Esty store, she has them for sale there. I must say that this year I am having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit. It is not that I am a scrooge, it is just that is does not feel like Christmas at all. Maybe that is what happens as one gets older, but I hate to think that I've lost the ability to feel "magic". Its just that everyday feels just like the next and nothing seems special. The secret might be that I have to make it happen and that I can't wait for it to happen to me.

Dear Lorrie,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little doll you got today! I love it!! I can totally understand about the Christmas spirit - it ebbs and flows for me. Last year I was really into it and this year it's delayed because we were gone. Some years I didn't feel it much at all and other years I love it! I find that listening to some Christmas music and baking cookies always gets me feeling more in the spirit. Sending some Christmas spirit from here... Love, Silke
Christmas music and smells always work for me! Thanks for always stopping by and leaving me a note, I love it!
