My First Linky Party!

Well I hope this works.....I'm joining my first linky party courtesy of 1..2..3...Teach with Me.  Love her blog and her new one "Dots" of Fun!  Super-cute stuff on there so check it out if you have a chance.

This linky is about Christmas and as I said in an earlier post, I'm really feeling the holiday spirit this year. I've held off on starting the Christmas music but I am looking forward to it.  I'm planning on decorating this coming weekend and figured I would start playing it then.

It's funny to me that of all the year's, I feel like I shouldn't be in the spirit this year.  Money is VERY tight this year!  I'm busier than I've ever been and I am turning the DREADED 4-0 next week.  These are all things that are causing me a little stress so I guess Christmas will be a nice divergence!

Anyway, here is a glimpse at what is inspiring me this year......

                                               

                                               

                                     
 I just love decorations with pine cones....totally makes me think of Christmas!  The second image reminds me of spending time with my friends and family during the holiday's. We may have our differences throughout the year but everything is put aside during the holidays.  And best of all, the third picture reminds me of the time snuggling with my man in front of a fire with the tree lit in the background.

So join in to the linky party and get the spirit!
