Photo's of My Thanksgiving table and family!
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!
So sorry I have not had any post lately! I promise I will post more!

My web sight is all updated and fun picture, plus the 2009 retreat dates are posted and my class calendar and workshop events! http://www.darcysretreats.com/
My Open House was a hit! Lots of fun products, Yummy food and of course festive cheer! If you missed it this year make sure you head over next year. I will be holing it for 2 days next year.(always in November!)
For the first time ever I did Black Friday!!! Wow it is all everyone says it is!!! So fun and great deals! We left the house at 7:45am (not the crazy stand in the cold at 4:00am) It was perfect timing to still get the door busters and sales but no pushing and fighting!!! Even all of the lines were fast moving! I am definitely hooked!!!!

The Damage! The whole back and I even remembered to use my "Green" Bags!!! (Note the costco bags are great for hiding gifts!) We did are part to help the economy!!!!!

I have started my decorating for Christmas and hope to be done by the 3rd! (I am only doing 6 trees this year!!) I will post photo's as soon as I am finished! Mean while take time to enjoy the season and Take time for yourself! A hot bubble bath with Peppermint oil or read a great Christmas book! In the hustle of the season don't forget the real meaning of Christmas.
Jesus birth , is the reason for this joyous holiday! God bless
