A late Christmas gift from my kids ~ Happy Camper's Ornament

 Isn't it just adorable!

Pictures with the Christmas light inside to light it up.  There are windows on each side, including a door where light shines through.  Check out the tiny Christmas lights around the window!


This was on my wish list and I absolutely love it.  I'm almost afraid to put it on my tree with the cats in the house.  I just love it!

Happiest Moments from 2010

I asked my kids to write me a letter with their happiest moments, so I thought I might share a few of my own.

1. Camping with hubby and cooking all of our food over the campfire.


2.  Canning for the first time.


3.  Cooking meals entirely from the garden.


4.Writing my first novel during NaNoWriMo in November.


5.  Cutting my first cord of wood by hand (and all of my farmgirl accomplishments).



6.  My outdoor reading room.



7.  All of the beautiful butterflies I took pictures of.




8.  Watching the sun rise.



9.   Hiking.


10.  My flower gardens.

Of course this is not a complete list, but it's a small start of sharing my happiest memories.  What are yours?
