may this season of Light…
bring you comfort and joy…
how ever you celebrate…
I did manage to make a small handful of cards this year…
and put some finishing touches on a few ornaments that I started last Christmas (the little angel is one of my Mutti’s soft original creations)…
all the while feeling the push and pull of this tender time of year when he♥rts come home for Christmas even if only in our dreams…
may your days be merry and bright…
and may all of your wishes come true…
I am joining Elizabeth and Bleubeard for T today and wishing you a Very Merry Christmas oxo

Leave it to you to create vignettes that are truly over the top. The candy cane on the cup gave me an idea for doing the same with hot chocolate at breakfast on Christmas day. Thanks for the idea.
Those trees are always fun. I bought some last year, but didn’t get around to bleaching them. The pale green one that you added the pearls to is over the top. I LOVE it.
I’m fairly certain I see one “new” hand, too. New to me, at least. I may have seen the other one, but not the one on the right on a pedestal. Stunning!
Mr. Magpie’s photos are superb, as usual, and your cards are adorable. I’m so, so lucky to be a lucky recipient, I simply can’t believe they are all so very, very different. I don’t have that kind of imagination.
Thank you for sharing T(ea) with me each week since I started nearly three years ago, This has been a fun ride, and I look forward to continuing in 2014, dear friend.

You’ve inspired me with your creativity this year – I’ve loved your art, journals and the amazing techniques you’ve demonstrated which I’ve stored away in my “Patty told Me” file in my brain!
I’ve enjoyed reading about the travels your little tea cup has taken you and Jim on – and subsequently I’ve learnt about areas of the States I would love to explore …. you never know I could win lotto one day – then maybe the three of you could be my tour guides! LOL!
Thank you dear Patty, I’m looking forward to another exciting year at Magpie’s Nest.
Much love
