What a WONDERFUL Christmas!!!

It was such a wonderful Christmas this year..thanks to all the amazing "angels" we met through Freecycle. Not just for all the wonderful gifts but the friendships that I'm sure will remain throughout the years. The Chazman had an awesome Christmas...one that filled our home with so much joy and cheer.

I was very fortunate to have entered a few giveaways and WON...YEAH ME!!! Of course, the prizes went under the tree for the Chazman from Santa. Two sets of school uniforms....which were such a blessing...uniforms get worn out very easily when you have a second grade BOY wearing them. ^_^ . There was also two journals with beach scenes and his name on them. How cool is that? One he is going to use to keep all his games codes in and the other he is going to use as a doodle journal and let me have it when it's filled up. A cherished keepsake in the making. How AWESOME is that?

To my surprise on Thursday the mailman comes to the door to say "Merry Christmas" and hands me my mail. One envelope stood out among all the others. It was a check from the Trim-A-Tree event. YEAH ME AGAIN!! ^_^ It seems that the Cheshire cat, 4 weebies and the Santa and Mrs. Claus ooaks sold. So that bought another Santa gift and a gift from his daddy and me and a trip to the grocery store. (yes..I truly am one of the starving artist..hehe)  Thank you to all that made a purchase...you don't know how much you added to this family's holidays. Blessings!!!

So enough of my chatter...here are the photos of the Chazman's Christmas morning!!!

Doesn't he look so happy? He WAS and IS. Every time I look at him I know just how blessed I am. To have a child that holds love in his heart over everything else. My true earth angel!! So amazing to have a gift from God that changes from year to year but still remains the same...a part of you!!

I guess Santa thought I was a good girl this year because I had a gift under the tree too. My studio is now official....I have my own sign. My hubby designed it and then had it cut out on the laser water cutter. Copper folks...it's made with copper and the back is stainless steel. Recycled metal and I LOVE it. 

I hope that everyone had a wonderful and BLESSED Christmas. Now my fun begins.....trying to get my decorations down before the first of the year. My grandmother always said that they should always be taken down before the first of the year....you never want the old year to follow into the new!! Now me taking them down isn't the problem....it's....yes you guessed it....the Chazman...he wants to leave everything up...LOL!!

Until next time.......HUGS, Regi
