Hi everyone. Happy new week to you. And to everyone who stops by over at Bluebeard's and Elizabeth's blog for T Day, Happy T day to you.
Happy December to everyone too. I hope if you celebrated Thanksgiving last week you had a lovely day.
Let me start out with my T day drink photo right off the bat.
Last Tuesday a friend and I took an annual day out to our neighboring town of Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. We went out to lunch at a local sandwich shop and then did a bit of holiday shopping in some of the little stores intown. Outside one of the stores (which happen to be a wine seller and wine bar) these scarecrows were still out. Ha ha, I think Mr. Scarecrow has had a bit too much wine with his lunch and decided to take a nap. 😏 Mrs. Scarecrow looks like she's having a hard time staying awake too.
Many of the stores were already decorated for Christmas and here's a few displays I passed.
And since T Day is also December 2, I am going to include my Second on the Second repost. Second on the Second is also over at Bluebeard's and Elizabeth's blog. Even if this isn't a repost about a drink, I'm choosing this page because I really like it. Plus when I wrote this post on December 1, the forecast was and still is for our first plow-able snowfall on the second.
I made and posted this page last year and posted on November 12, 2024. If you're interested in how I made this page or the post you can click on the link. 👍
What else has been going on with me? This past weekend was busy with the Thanksgiving holiday and starting to get ready for Christmas. We spent the holiday at my sister-in-law's home in Maine, and we also spent some time on Saturday visiting with my daughter and her husband since we didn't see them on Thanksgiving. We also went to the Christmas Tree farm in my town and chopped our tree. If you want to cut your tree at this tree farm you have to go early in the season because as soon as they've sold what can be cut and sustain their business for next year, they close.
Here's my husband and our tree for this year. We found a tree we liked close to the entrance so it may not look like there's a lot of trees because of the direction I'm facing. (But they do have a lot of trees, and you can't tell from the photo, but it was relatively crowded at 9 AM Friday morning when they first opened for the season.
And here's the tree, mostly decorated but I still have a few ornaments to put on a few bare spots.
One of this week's projects is to get the rest of the decorations up.
Wishing everyone a happy new month and week ahead, plus, a Happy T day too.

Lovely tree! -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
Very lovely photos. I love the first one very much. An that handsome guy with the Christmas tree. Happy December.
I love your tree Erika. This is good memories for me as when I was a child growing up we always cut down our tree every year-fun time.
Happy new week Hugs Kathy
So christmasy in your house :-) Love the use of pumpkin as the scarecrows face.
Cute scarecrow-couple! Cold here, too, but no snow (yippee for Ingo).
Love your owl!
Sadly Germans (Europeans?) don´t celebrate Thanksgiving and since we have no kids we are just happy to have a few days off around Christmas, but yay for you!
I have a little tree this year, though.
Wow, your tree is something!!! Happy T-Day and hugs!
These scarecrows are really great!!
They definitely attract attention!!
Have a beautiful and creative December Erika!
...it's looking a lot like Christmas in your next of the woods.
Like those scarecrows. I once made something similar, using a plastic pumpkin bucket for the head.
Wonderful festive post. Oh my goodness the fresh tree! I have never had a real tree before. I hope to next Christmas or maybe I will get a small one! oh yes. I love the smell of fresh trees. :) Wonderful!Have a magical December!
J'aime beaucoup ce post, avec ces perspectives de décorations de Noel
I love looking at the festive decorations in shop windows and in towns. Your tree is lovely. Tomorrow I'm going to the big town with a new friend and there's a place she wants to take me to for lunch, which should be fun. Happy Tuesday!
The shop windows look so festive. I would have a hard time staying away after a glass of wine. We're getting snow right now and the birds have been flocking to the feeder just like your lovely journal page. I'm hoping the storm fizzles out. Your tree looks beautiful. Stay safe today.
Thse scarecrows really look like they had a little bit too much wine. Your art journal page is beautiful, I love all the birds you included. Do I see a lighthouse ornament on your Christmas tree? Happy T day! Hugs - Carola
The scarecrows made me smile, as did that handsome man with the tree. (Boy, it's huge! The tree I mean).
To answer your question, no, I don't do scrapbooking anymore. I really should but never seem to get round to it as my craft room is a guest bedroom and my supplies are put away. I still have most of my Flow books. They were just too beautiful to use. (silly me)
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Erica, I love the scarecrows! Regarding your 2nd on the 2nd, isn’t it appropriate that your journal page from then fits this months Art Journal Journey theme? Happy T Day!
Erika, your tree is gorgeous! Some of our stores were putting up Christmas decorations right after Halloween. I don't like that. After Thanksgiving, OK. We've had now, but thank goodness nothing plowable! Enjoy your week!
I love your tree, Erika. Beautifully shaped. I often miss a live tree. They're getting hard to find around here these days. And I like your lights and decorations too. Your neighboring town is just charming!
These pumpkin couples in front of the shop are interesting and funny. Your Christmas tree is beautifully decorated.
The winter journal page is enchanting.
Have lots more fun decorating, hugs, Elke
It's beginning to look alot like Christmas! What a lovely tree! We have an artificial one. Your winter day page is gorgeous with those little birds and fun texture! Those antique Christmas decorations are the best! Love seeing them!
Great picture of your hubby and the tree. Looks like a nice place to shop at. Love that they keep it sustainable. Bonus points to them!
Erika, I am envious of the fact that you and your husband could go to a tree farm and select a live tree as our apt management no longer allows them for safety reasons.
