On Friday I got mail from the Southpole...(almost)...from Jo in Tas...

Such a beautiful bag. OH my goodness that IS a lot of snow! There is nothing sweeter than children singing Christmas carols. Thank you for sharing your Christmas traditions.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Lucia Day, Stina.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the children singing very much.
Great bag! And boy oh boy do you have lots of snow! I bet Viktor had lots of fun with that shovel knocking it all down!! The children in the video are sweet and I enjoyed listening.
ReplyDeleteBoy you guys had a lot of snow!! You surely weren't kidding :o) Very nice bag... so nice of Jo to give you beautiful gifties :o)
ReplyDeleteholy smoley.. thats a whole lotta snow!!!! and what lovely gifties from Australia.. I LOVE that bag.. hmmm might have to gift myself with that bag *W*
ReplyDeletetake care and try to stay warm???
Lissa
in australia
where its VERY warm...
Such a beautiful bag...and the snow!!! I've never seen anything like it!
ReplyDeleteThink of the fun you would have if you won the lottery...you could come stay with me in Adelaide and Jo in Tassie. You are a bit naughty opening your Xmas gift before Xmas. I love the bag though. Wow you certainly have some snow. It looks lovely but then I'm not living in it.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of candy on Saturday!!! Lucky you with gift from Jo...Tasmania is a lovely place, was there earlier this year. I don't blame you for opening the package...a bit too tempting with a hole there. Enjoy the gorgeous bag...
ReplyDeleteOh dear, shame about that hole in the wrapping. Hmm I think that perhaps you're as bad as a child when it comes to parcels.....lol.... Love all that snow.
ReplyDeleteYour swap goodies are lovely. What a LOT of snow!! Are there hills that you go sledding on where you live?
ReplyDeleteIt's delightful to listen to the music while I am writing - a beautiful Post - very Christmassy - love it all!
ReplyDeleteHugs - Lurline!
Hey Stina! I'm like you, my gifties always seem to 'accidentally' come unwrapped as soon as I get them! Tee! Hee! Hee! Scott says my curiosity will get me into trouble - just like the kitty in the saying 'curiosity killed the cat'!! Uh oh!! Loved your snow photos, without wanting to actually BE there for the cold! Good think Viktor didn't sneeze while standing under all that garage snow or there might have been an avalanche!! Oh, and you can add a visit to Toowoomba when youw in lotto, too!! Stay warm - Bear Hugs! KRIS
ReplyDeletePlease please please send us some snow!!! I think I'll make the little wallhanging for me too. Who knows what will happen ... Love what you got from Jo (O: Today I was allowed to light Lucia for the third Advent. From now on I think I will always have to think of you when lighting it. Have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWell, what's a girl to do - if there's a little peek hole, it must be looked through *s* I think you are doing it right, a little bit of Christmas all along the way. Keeps the season festive!
ReplyDeleteLol! The south pole! You are so funny Stina! That snow looks so lovely. Very Christmas cardy.
ReplyDeleteWonderful presents! I can truly understand the hole in the package got bigger!!! A little bit of snow around here would be so nice, can you send us some?!
ReplyDeleteHappy St Lucia Day Stina. Love the bag. What a great prezzie.
ReplyDeleteOh Stina, you'll enjoy that for a long time, love hearing children singing.
ReplyDeleteGreat gifties and purse that Jo made.
Merry Christmas,
Bonnie
