Today is Boxing Day in the UK....for me and many of us it is the day after Christmas and all through the house it is probably a mess. If not a mess it still is lots of holiday decorations and the thoughts of when to take them down and the thought of putting it all away. I have always waited until after New Year's Day and even though I have minimal decorations this year that is still my plan.
I received some lovely gifts this year
Dianna and Bobby gave me a Rain Chain...I love it. Of course with the new gutter system, there is no corner to catch the rain....then again we do not have much rain. It will however hang outside the lanai and possibly find some rain drops to channel. Dianna also found
These lovely "sisters" by a company we both have come to like...Blue Sky. Dianna also has the same set. She and Me. I enjoyed my Christmas Eve time with them and their family. Dianna and I sat outside chatting after we ate and it was a nice relaxing day.
Yesterday was a quiet day and I nursed a headache most of the day. Today will be a regular do the laundry and Bissell the house and take the Swiffer by the hand. I am half way finished with another tatted Snowflake and now, I found a tatted icicle to try. I need to find some beads for that. Oh I have toms of beads but they are probably not the right ones..... I think Jo Ann's is having a string bead sale.
Fresh picked Arizona Sweet Oranges from Al/Keith's tree and lovely lemons form Glenda/Don's tree. Just the fragrance is wonderful but they taste so good. Remember the chestnuts....not one of them is good so they will be going back to Safeway. They seem to be old and not edible at all. I am not returning them for the cost but that they should be made aware of a bad product.
I hope everyone had a terrific holiday and thank you for the caring emails for me. I am so very lucky to have you for my friends.

Have a wonderful boxing day, big hugs
I was thinking about you yesterday Grace. I have so many beads too but never the right ones!!
Ive never seen a rain catcher before but I love the idea. I think I might try to make one. What is yours made of? Lovely ladies too. Are they sisters or friends or angels? Merry Christmas. Very nice blog
Shame about those chestnuts .
Hope you enjoyed your Boxing day .
I will also take my decs down after January 1st .
Such great gifts you received from your friends. The rain catcher sounds very interesting, I had never heard about before. Must be lovely to have it hanging outside the lanai.
Love the idea of a rain catcher. It does look pretty
Hope your headache is gone and you can enjoy a nice crafty day
The rain catcher is lovely but I don't think it would have survived the deluge we had yesterday!
I always leave my decorations up until Twelfth Night, we believe it is bad luck to take them before then as that is when the Three Wise Men came to visit. They've never come to see me but if they do, then the tree and decorations will still be here!
We always leave our decorations out and up until at least January 6th (which might be the same "12th night" Jo is talking about? I'm not familiar with the term), but then we only put our tree up on December 23rd so it would be a waste to take out down so soon!
