Note Card Party~December

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

A gift of Christmas~2010

 Now those little worshippers are really experiencing Shekinah glory, aren't they?!

Sweet juxtaposition between the cold outdoors and the warmth inside and that strawberry gets more delicious looking every time I see it!

  1. Love all your note cards this month Vee. You better hope some young person doesn't beat you to the strawberry. :-) I have to say, that is my favourite note card and not just because I'm envious of you having snow.

  11. Beautiful note cards Vee. They are adorable and I do love that last scene. It is snowing SO hard here. The roads are terrible and the trees are really laden so I hope we don't lose power. Must get to bed. Blessings, Pamela

    These would all make beautiful notecards!
    I like the magic of the 1st one, but the little village

  16. Such pretty choices for note cards this month, Vee! Of course, my favorite is the tree in front of the window through which the falling snow is seen but not felt. Such a cozy scene!

  35. Lovely. I read your comment about the little worshippers with a catch in my throat.
    Indeed, the last photo makes one feel cozy, snuggly and safe.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I love yours! I think that last one is my favorite, but the Glory of the Lord is really shining in the little cottage one for sure.

    (Psst: Can you imagine what it was really like? I can't wait to see it.)

    I'm not going to have the time to visit around until later today, but I sure hope to get some cocoa and sit a spell. I really and truly do LOVE this party.

  39. Such sweet Christmas photos Vee! Don't send me that sleet when you send the snow this way!

    ReplyDelete
  40. These are all lovely vignettes of Christmas that would make wonderful cards. I am somewhat envious of your snow, but not the freezing rain and sleet. The little church full of light is a good message for all of us.

    Thanks again for hosting, Vee. Have a wonderful day.

  50. (Vee, can I just mention, that I have had to make this comment as Teacups and Tiskets, even though this isnt the blog that I am linking to this with, the blog is "the vintage folk painter' http://www.thevintagefolkpainter.com, but when trying to comment from this blog, there is no option in the drop down menu to choose open url.)

    Hi Vee, this is my first time taking part in your notecard party. thankyou for hosting.

    Now, the first image is my favourite, I would like to know, what is the book you used? So evocative.. It takes me back to an older worlde.

    Most images with snow I love, being a displaced Scot (now in Oz).

    Merry Christmas

    1. Hi Fiona~

      Very happy to have you along for this sleigh ride!

      The book is a pop-up book called "Snowflakes." Have tried Googling, though none of the images look quite the same. Since this went off with my grands, I can't check for author. The inside of the book does look very similar to what I've seen online.
