By the chimney, with fear
That while I was hanging them
John would appear............
It's too much he would say
As he always does.........
And I'd have to remove them
Why? just because...................
But lo and behold - ( and believe it or not )
He liked them !
He loved them !
In fact quite a lot !
And I was so happy that there was no " rift "
That I let him eat cookies I made as a gift.............
12 miniature stockings for 7.99 !
The perfect size to stick a candy cane and a gift card in !
I've NEVER had my baking done so early before - ( and this is the second weekend of baking because I totally messed up the first time ) I'm usually frantically baking right up until the night before. For some reason things are going a little too smoothly in this house - I'm terrified that something's right around the corner - just waiting to burst my bubble LOL !!!
Have a great day everyone
Hugs,
Me

ReplyDeletetiny little stockings....:)
ReplyDeleteSuper Duper Cute, Suzan ! So glad John liked it! but then again...he'd probably say anything to get those cookies !!
ReplyDeleteThey are so sweet. I'm sure one or three of those cookies satisfied the poor guy.

What a cute rendition of your poem.
ReplyDeleteThem stockings are adorable and look so darn cute hanging there along with all your other decorations. Cute, cute, cute.
Was going to reach in and steal a cookie but was afraid that you would blame John for taking one. :}They look really good. The other day I made little Elf cookies. Give you an idea how small they where; they where cut out using the bottom of a cake decorating tip; took only about 5 minutes to bake so they are teeny tiny cut out sugar cookies. That is why they are called Elf cookies :}
LOL, too much---those itty bitty socks...lol...when he is sleeping hang tinsel around his neck and sew jingle bells to his shoes, tell him you thought the strobe lights would be too much...LOL

I think your mantel looks great! Thank goodness it was husband approved! Whew! That was close! Ha Ha! Your cookies look pretty too. I'm looking forward to doing some baking between now and Christmas. Sugar cookies are my husband's favorite.
ReplyDeleteCute stockings and your cookies look yummy. I love the decor on your fireplace and your tree is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour mantel looks wonderful with all those cute stockings. Your tree is gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteOur fireplace just has three big stockings with our three grandgirls' names. The cutout sugar cookies look adorable. I will be baking away to take to my DD Sofia's house for C'mas.
Thank you so much pretty lady for your sweet comments on our new bundle of joy.
Merry Christmas Suzan.
