Thank You


 Hello!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
We finally got our tree decorated over the weekend!
I usually have my tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving....
We are a little behind on our Christmas decorating this year....
Hopefully I will have a few more holiday pictures for you soon.....
On another note....
I wanted to say thank you to Fifi O'Neill for featuring my blog in the January issue of Romantic Country!  It is out on newsstands now!


A peek inside the magazine~



A lot of my blog friends have features in there as well!

Thank you Fifi for all of your continued support you give to all of us women!

I also wanted to say thank you to Jo-Anne Colletti
for featuring my blog in her new magazine, The Feminine Home Magazine.

I love the picture of this beautiful farm....

I am going to try and get some more Christmas decorating pictures up.....

We are making sugar cookies today!
I still have a lot of Christmas shopping to do too....
Hope you are all enjoying your Monday!
Take Care,
Maria

    Congratulations on the magazine feature Maria! that is so exciting!

    I love every inch of your home and have mentioned (and linked back to) your blog many times on my own little blog.

    can you please try to help me out with something??? i love love love the color of your living room. i know it's "gray peeral" by martha stewart and have had a sample mixed for me as i am attempting to find the perfect shade of gray for my little guys room. it seems quite a bit darker in his room than it looks in your home. i do realize you have tons of natural light in your home and his room only has one window. ugh. but is there any chance you have the formula on an old can of it and could email it to me so i can confirm it's an exact match? i'm heading out to run some errands and hopefully just commit and pick up some paint. so i'll keep my phone close in case an email comes in from you. :)

    thank you in advance!

    ~*~*~ Hi Maria, Can you tell me where you found you long white curtains in your bedroom? I have been looking for ones long enough for our living room windows..they all seem too short! If you could let me know that would be so nice of you!! ;) Hugs, Rachel~*~*
