For Tom
Thoughts: Under the definition of naughty you might see the name Tom. My brother-in-law was teasing me today about my blog, it's length and frequency.
So Tom, I knew I needed to blog today and dedicate this post to you. I just wanted you to know that Santa is making a list and checking it twice and he knows if you've been naughty or nice!


Things: Tom, I know you like to do crafts so I thought this would be something that you would like to make. It's easy enough that even you could do it! All it takes is a cone shaped styrofoam, red and green gum drops and a glue gun. Just glue on the gumdrops row by row in any color combination you would like! Have Meladie help you so you don't burn yourself.

  12. Hi Joy,
    I'm Sue (Mrs Twins). Well after reading Elizabeths post I thought I would pop over to you. What a wonderful blog you have here. So pretty, and such a lot of fun! The gum tree is a brilliant idea.
    I'll become a follower if I may! I'll visit you often. I must visit some more of Elizabeths' readers. I'm missing out on a lot.
    Wishing you seasonal greetings Joy and your family.
    Hope you'll pop over to the UK for a cup of tea!

  13. Joy, I read the post 'creative breathing' made about your blog,..so nice. Although I often don't leave a comment I check your blog daily and love your frequent posts. And...you know I love your home and decorating but mostly you.

  14. Oh my goodness Joy. That is hilarious. Way to go! Even though he gave you a hard time, he loves it. I am sure he checks in often, how would he know the length and frequency?! Isn't that what we love about my dad, his humor. I am glad you know him well enough to know that it is all in good fun. I loved this post. Probably my favorite all year. Keep it up. Can't wait to see everyone. Love Lisa (Tom's daughter)

  15. I agree with lis, what my dad fails to realize is that he basically made fun of himself right along with ya...he for sure reads it almost everyday...how else would he know how often ;) Love your blog joy I too am an avid reader. Keep up the fun posts!!!
