Planning ahead for Christmas in July

A favorite magazine from my collection

Just a quick little note to say I've been busy as a bee behind the scenes here in the Christmas kitchen.  I've been writing posts like crazy to schedule them ahead for Christmas in July.  We are going to have visiting family here for three weeks in parts of June and July, and I know I would never be able to post daily in July with all that will be going on.  So I'm preparing posts ahead of time -- everything from poems to vintage cards to crafts to recipes -- and I hope you will all enjoy them.  A lot of the posts will be links to ideas I've found through Pinterest, including some of my most frequently repinned items.  Stay tuned!
