Make some Holiday Magic This Year! My Holiday decorating is done for the year and because my new little granddaughter is now toddling about, I kept everything to a festive minimum this year.  Silver tinsel garland, evergreens, bright white mini trees, battery lit candles, big red bows and a beautiful angel wreath above the mantel are my decorative choices to create the Christmas Magic in our home this season! However, the real Holiday Magic will happen when the kids and grandkids drop by on Christmas Day and the house will be filled with the spirit of the season. This week, I've completed "Our Year 2014" home video that we'll all watch together, dinner planning is in the works and all the gifts have been wrapped and will be placed under the tree on Christmas Eve. If you're in need of inspiration and patterns, you'll find my " Christmas Wishes " Linework Pattern book has just what you need!
