Thankful Thursday

Today is Thankful Thursday, and Rhondi from Rhondi's Rose Colored Glasses hosts this mindful occasion. So, please visit Rhondi and the many Thankful Thursday posts. I am so thankful for all the wonderful things that are going on this month in Blogland for Christmas.



Merry ChristmasI don't know about you, but it has been such a nice way to relax to grab a cup of coffee or tea and browse the blogs for holiday inspiration. I found that my usual desire to buy skatey-eight Christmas magazines has been satisfied by visiting blogs instead. Here are just a few things that I found filled with Christmas charm, lovely music and inspiration...

Celeste from Celestina Maria Designs is such a talented artist as well as a wonderful interior decorator. She has created a special Christmas Home Tour on her blog. As you scroll through photographs of her beautiful home decorated for the Holidays, you can enjoy wonderful Christmas music. I love Celeste's beautiful painting, and if you have never stopped by her Esty shop La Rea Rose, you must. I was so impressed when Celeste showed us the ornament that she designed for the White House on her blog, when she showed us her gorgeous art studio.



Gabriela Delworth has been featuring the most gorgeous gift decorating ideas on her blog. Gabriela is a fabulous designer and I especially love her Her gift wrap ideas. If you really want a treat, visit her new Gift Wrap Gallery. She is also writing posts about how to decorate Christmas ornaments. They are beautiful and inspirational.






Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...Here is a wonderful Christmas blog that I discovered, Of Bluebirds and Roses & Christmas


Deena’s Can I Be Pretty In Pink is hosting a Sharing Christmas Delights on December 15th,




Stephanie from Angelic Accents has a beautiful Christmas Blog called All Things Christmas. Her Christmas ideas about decorating your home or All Things Christmas are a special surprise,




Now to me, visiting anything French spells inspiration, especially a French Christmas, sigh. I have such a treat for you. If you would you like to visit a gorgeous, gorgeous blog in France...Claudine creates pure magic on every post on her blog called ATELIER COTE JARDIN.




Louise from Whispering Poppies is hosting a Home Sweet Home Party on December 12th





Cielo from The House in the Roses is hosting a World of Treasures Party on the 14th.



Pretty Petals is hosing A Pretty Little Christmas on her blog on December 15th



I read this morning on the most glorious blog by Sandra Evertson that the new magazine called Where Women Create has a new site to enjoy Where Women Shop. Here is a link to submissions guideline for their magazine.

The song for this post is Happy Holidays.
