With this cold weather we are having here in Georgia, it is nice that you were able to get away to some tropical temperatures. Glad to hear that you had a good time.

Rose, I have been worrying about you, slaving away in your shop of horrors, and then I find that you have been cruising!!! Sounds like a wonderful trip! I'm so glad you got a break. Now, get back to work! Just kidding, of course. I already have my beautiful Santa, so I don't care whether you work or cruise. Your creativity just makes work look like fun though. laurie

I'm so glad you got away for a bit. But I'm happy you are back. You were missed.

The photos are so pretty you ought to frame them. If you find any elves, tell them to head up to Gollum's. LOL

Bargain Decorating with Laurie said...

Rose, I wasn't going to come tell you that I posted my Santa collection, because I was afraid you'd be appalled (sp) to see your gorgeous Father Christmas in the midst of all my junk. Thank you for stopping by.

If you get time, please come back to my blog and pick up a little award I have for you. laurie
