I came home on Friday to a great grouping of cards from the lovely ladies at ILCS Yahoo Group.
After a bit of drama and discussion on our tree issues we got our Christmas tree up on Saturday. We are hosting Christmas morning with my B/F's family, so his mom, her b/f, his brother and his three kids... So I wanted the tree to look nice. It's ancient, about 27 years old from my parents, but we made it kinda work... I am hoping that in the next few years we will be in a bigger place and able to have a real nice, new tree. (and then less tears while putting it up). But here is what we are stuck with for now:
And last, but least, I started the Romantic Rose Garden. Even though I am short some colours for it. I am hoping to get to my LNS this Thursday or Saturday to get the rest (and pick up supplies for Soul Mates as I am dying to start it). I may startitis since my day of three finishes. lol.
But here is the start of Romantic Rose Garden:
I am hosting a SAL on this project over at:

If you want to be a part of it just drop me an email (via my profile) and I will add you to the list. The more the merrier.
Alright, that is all for now. It's enough right. ;)
I am trying to find some good things about the holidays to look forward to. It's a bit tough right now as it seems so hectic and crazy but here is hoping that it will all work itself out.
As always I want to thank you all for your kind comments and wish you all well

Mel -- I think that's a great tree! Could've done without the drama, I'm sure -- but the tree looks good, I think. Very nice cards from the group, too. If I didn't already have a chatelaine going, I'd join you but... I... just... can't. LOL
I love your tree - very pretty! Nice cards and good luck with the SAL!
Your tree is so pretty...I just love this time of year.
It's a perfectly lovely tree, Mel!
I'm a little bah-humbug this year. It's just one of those years.
Mel, your tree looks perfectly all-right to me. Just think of all the memories it holds, its priceless. Congrats on a new start. I would love to join you in your SAL but I'm still working on Frederick and UFOs, just can't do it right now... You never know, maybe I will join a little later.
I like your tree! My tree is so small you barely see it!
I think your tree is adorable.
Hey it's a nice tree, nothing wrong with it at all. Here I have no tree up and more than likely won't this year. No room really for it.
Nice tree! We got a new one this year since the branches were falling out of the old and you know what? The old one looks nicer! Good luck on the new Chatelaine. I'm sure you'll beat Meari getting it done....she's had the Japanese Garden going for years. And yes, I harass her about it too!!
I think your tree is GORGEOUS! What an heirloom. I hope you never get rid of it!!!!!! The new chatelaine will be lovely
I think your tree looks great!

Mel your tree is very nice and very full of decorations. Know you will enjoy it. Mine is 24 inches tall and sits on my table. See yours is very large compared to mine. Just think about it...lot less to put up and lot less to take down to put away. LOL Check our your stitching and as always you have some very nice stitchies going. Happy holidays to you and great stitching.
Mel I think your tree looks fantastic!
