Ten on Tuesday

1.  It's only been snowing for a few days but it seems way longer than that already!  It definitely looks like Christmas now.

2.  Putting glitter on things is so much fun and gives a totally fancy look in just a few seconds!  The grade 3 class I was subbing in today did an art project with a paper plate and the last step was putting glitter on the outside rim.  They looked so pretty so quickly.

3.  Some nights are just total phone nights!  I had 3 long conversations with 3 different people tonight.  Good visiting time though.

4.  I got a yummy box of books from Chapters at the post office today.  Good stuff - I think the recipients are going to enjoy them.

5.  Two more outdoor scenes for you - 

I love how the inside image of the 'O' is shining on the house in a large form.

This one belongs to our good friends, D & D - it's so bright and natural looking.

6.  What's your favourite Christmas cookie or treat?  I'm curious!

7.  Meadow was dancing around the house yesterday, clapping her hands, and chanting "I so excited!  I so excited!"  Little ones are such a joy and if it's possible, even more so at Christmas time!

8.  I'm collecting some recipe ideas for our Christmas entertaining.  How do Watermelon & Prawn skewers, Carmellized Onion Pizza and Sliced Pears with Orange Chocolate Dip sound?   Mel has been forwarding some good ideas too :))

9.  Is there anything more beautiful than a  brightly burning fireplace flanked by poinsettias, a sparkling Christmas tree and glowing candles?  That's my vision of our living room - now to execute it!

10.  If you are looking for some decorating inspiration, go and visit:

Mary at the Little Red House - how clever are these decorations?!!  Love them!!

The gang over at Amongst The Oaks hosted a cocktail party - it looks so yummy and the decorating is beautiful.

Tam at The Gypsy's Corner has the most beautiful dining table set up.  Love her china!!

I hope you are staying warm in your little corner of the world.!!
