It's Raining Christmas Joy

It's a cold winter's night,

Raindrops glisten in the moonlight.

Inside where it's warm,

The Christmas tree is adorn.

Twinkling sparkles blink in delight,

On this joyous beautiful night.

To all my dear blogging friends,

especially those who follow along,

I hope the holiday season fills

your heart with joyous memories.

Another poem written last night by me...

Thinking of Someone Special,

Christmas and Puttin' Up a Tree

Laundry Room & Christmas Inspiration

Thought you'd like to see something other than my messy laundry room! I really appreciate everyones help and advice on my laundry room makeover. I have learned about many new ideas, and how to do things that I didn't think of or know about before. Thank you so much!

I can tell it's going to take me a while to transform my laundry room

but I haven't given up. Although now my laundry room is gonna have to share my attention with Christmas for a while too!

I'm collecting ideas and pictures of laundry rooms for inspiration too.

I'm leaning towards creating something cozy, perhaps a combination of French country and Italian villa. It's got to double as a storage room for now too. I want the decor to go with the rest of my home which is old Spanish Colonial with antiques. I'll post inspiring pictures later.

In the meantime, I found this pretty blog belonging to Sara and her Mom Abbey called Sweet Magnolia's Farm and thought you'd like it too. The link takes you to their new blog. They made the clothespin bag. They sell things they make in their Sweet Magnolias Farm etsy store.

I love those big clothes pins!

You'll find this box of Little Duchess Laundry Blue and

other antiques and treasures in their etsy store too.

They have beautiful Winter White Candy Canes and

lots of Christmas goodies in their etsy store.

Sara made this Old St. Nick Christmas bag too. They had an older blog a while back called Sweet Magnolias Antiques and Primitives that still has some lovely pictures and posts up.

I hope you are having a wonderful week!
