I'm dreaming of spending the day with my children, and all that good food I cook. Aside from that, I just saw the two new Cricuit Christmas cartridges and fell in love with them. I'm hoping Santa sees that I have been a good girl this year.

Vanessa said...

I am dreaming of a lot of crafting time, cosy snuggle-teadrink-moments on the couch and elves cleaning up the house ;)

Have a great weekend!

Meghann said...

I'm dreaming of being with my family this Christmas. I fly home on December 18th and I can't wait!

Eveline said...

I love the picture of the titmouse and the neige earrings.
My husband wasn't sure last year that he would be alive this Christmas so I won't be dreaming much but enjoying he is still around. Not out of trouble yet but we're very positive about the future (you have to be). And I love this song.
Eveline.

Isabel Z said...

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Rarely does it snow in Northern Virginia on the 25th but a girl can dream, can't she? I'm dreaming of being together at Grandma's house on Christmas Day with all the family.

Abby said...

I'm dreaming of a Christmas where those in my family who are going through some heartaches may find a bit of peace and happiness.....and maybe a few crafty gifts under the tree for me:)

Abby:)

Regina (TheStampin'Bean) said...

I moved from sunny California to Minnesota and now to New York. I'm dreaming of a WARM Christmas! All I need, though, are my husband and son, so I suppose my REAL dream will come true.

Karen B. said...

I really AM dreaming of a white Christmas! I live in Wisconsin and the temperatures are so biting cold right now, but we just don't have any SNOW. I always thought it is so pretty when the colored outside christmas lights try peaking out through the ten inches of snow so you get a muted glow from them.

Kimmie said...

Im dreaming i have the money for my child to get him the things he so deserves. He is such a considerate kid

terriavidreader (IN-USA) said...

I'm dreaming of an economy upswing to help out all those who did without this year! I dream of everyone getting at least one thing on their wish list! I dream that those who have switch with those who have not! Oh well, I can dream can't I??

Jenny McGee said...

I am dreaming of a nice cozy home. Being with the family. I am also dreaming that we all get over our colds/coughs by then. It is spreading at our house. The never ending cough. UGH.

Jamie said...

I am dreaming of a white Christmas! We are suppose to move to Louisianna in March and so this could be our last snowy Christmas for a few years!

Andi (RrlScrapGal) said...

I'm dreaming of a big ol' snowstorm that keeps me home so I can listen to Christmas music, drink my favorite Mexican Hot Cocoa and crank out a few of my crafty projects while my family blissfully plays outside!!!

~Lori Roop (loree2000 SCS) said...

I'm dreaming of a happy and healthy Christmas. We've had so much sickness since Thanksgiving. I'm ready for everyone to be well again so we can enjoy the season!
Of course, a white Christmas would top it off. Sledding anyone? :D

The white on white painting, bird, and silver leaf are my faves...WOW!

Karen said...

One beautiful image after the next, Cath. I'm dreaming of a family Christmas, but the reality is my daughter and her husband won't be here this year. Nonetheless, I am grateful for all the years I had everyone together. I knew this would happen someday! And since we are all happy and healthy, I am so very thankful.

Kristen Hamlin said...

I'm dreaming of spending Christmas with my husband and girls, and having lots of laughter and love . . . and tons of good food!

Patti J said...

Wow Cath, what a beautiful and calming post! I'm just dreaming of spending time with our grown children, and enjoying the family time! Thank you for a lovely Friday morning blog reading!!!

GabrielaD said...

I am dreaming of laughter and joy... true joy, not just from opening presents, but from being with one another and truly enjoying the moment. The holidays stress me out and sometimes I worry too much about one thing or another. I just want to not worry and not care about the silliest things and enjoy the day.

Beautiful images I love the little bird, beautiful!

Kimberly S said...

Such lovely photos! I'm dreaming of spending relaxing time with my family, and a few days of crafting with my Mom. :)

rkokes said...

Less stress-I need a break!

Lin said...

Oh, that was lovely! Beautiful images, all! I'm dreaming about spending time with our first grandson, who lives far, far away! Counting down the days until Dec. 22!!

Megan A. said...

I dont particularly like snow on christmas because it makes it so dangerous and there are always accidents

Bernice said...

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas. Seriously! I didn't realize how much I miss the white stuff around this time of year until we made it into December without snow this year. It's kind of ruining my Christmas spirit.

Ali said...

I'm dreaming of getting our new house up and running, especially my craft room/office! Then my whole family can work and play together.

Aga said...

What a beautiful post Cath! I’m dreaming of Christmas with my family.. It's still over 3 weeks till my flight home :) Can’t wait!

Bikky said...

I'm dreaming of going home. It has been six years since we moved and I have not been back for a single Christmas. We have always had the excuse of young children (infants really) and bad road conditions. This year I think the girls might finally be old enough and all I have to pray for (okay, not ALL I have to pray for, but . . .) is the weather. Dear God, let the roads be safe enough to travel home - I miss my Mom . . . .

Tanya Rudd said...

I want my 5 year old and my 3 year old daughters to enjoy Christmas with each other. We have so much to be grateful for.
Hugs
Tanya

Michelle (mla1111) said...

I am dreaming of a happy, beautiful, love filled fun day...with chocolate chip cookies too :) a big snow storm that keeps us home to play outside in the snow with the kiddies would be fun too.

asnow said...

Beautiful imagery! I'm dreaming of a Christmas without sickness or sadness, as my family has had enough of both over the past year.

Thanks!

I am dreaming of a green Christmas! I hope to get lots of time to craft over the holidays!

jennie said...

A white Christmas in Michigan is a given. So I am dreaming of safe roads for our travels.

But a few new paper supplies wouldn't hurt either;)

SMK said...

ironically this is the first Christmas where I'm dreaming of NOT a white Christmas! I live in snow country and I'm hoping to drive down to my parents to spend the holidays with them since my husband is deployed. So weather permitting, I'll be able to make the 5 hour drive to their house so I can be surrounded by family :)

ArlaMo said...

I hope we have a white Christmas!! I'm dreaming of a little down-time, spent with family and no taxiing kids to sports for a day or two.

Linda E said...

I'm dreaming of sleeping late for two weeks sraight! That's how long Christmas vacation is this year in NY. I'm also dreaming of some new scrappy goodness under the Christmas tree. Hope my hubby pulls through on that one.

smahrty said...

I am dreaming of a clean house and husband/kids that all get along with no fighting or whining!

Krista said...

SNOW!!! I might get an early Christmas present this weekend :)

NLR said...

Oh, so beautiful! I'm dreaming of sharing a first Christmas with my husband and being surrounded by family and friends. I can't wait to see my nieces and nephew and the look in their eyes when they begin to tear into their presents!

Heidi G said...

I'm dreaming of a warm walk on the white beaches of Clearwater, FL while the rest of the north (where I live) is bundled up in their winter wear. A girl can dream can't she?

I hope we have an idea of the next year by Christmas, if we are moving and to where!

Lillian Child said...

I'm dreaming of watching my first grandchild (who is 18 months old) discover the magic of Christmas this year. He's already discovered how to turn on the remote to the train that goes around the tree.

Shemaine Smith said...

These are beautiful!!! White Christmas is my all time favorite movie ever! I even posted a 29 minute collection of all the songs from the movie on my blog! What am I dreaming of this Christmas? Wishing my parents could be with us for Christmas day. They now live in Arkansas and we're in Ca. My mom and I used to spend weekends crafting together. I miss those times.

Tanya said...

I am dreaming of a week with my entire family (including hubby)! Also fixing a wonderful meal for my family and just enjoying our time together.

Carol Hartery said...

My passion for paper crafting has intensified over the past 9 months. Our dining room is now my craft room which just happens to have the table we eat at in it!
The hutches that used to house my dishes are now filled with die cut machines, dies, containers filled with ribbons, buttons, brads, stickers....and on and on.
My dream for Christmas is to have just one entire day where I can sit and paper craft without any interruptions or obligations. Today I read a suggestion on another blog to call in "craft" instead of calling in sick...doesn't that sound like a wonderful suggestion!
Thanks for all of the inspiration. Carol

Barbara M said...

A snow storm of card making!(Maybe I will get even one made!!)No real snow are way but will enjoy the time out from work to be the hubbs and my son that will visit.

carol h said...

I'm dreaming of my family all being together for the holidays. Can't wait.

Sue in Grapevine said...

I'm dreaming of God giving me the perfect plan of how to balance enjoying Christmas w/my little nuclear family w/honoring my husband's parents. Oh, & an idea for my MIL's gift wouldn't be half bad either.

Kimberly said...

I'm just hoping to be well this Christmas. It has been a rough cold/flu season for my family. Once we're better I'd like to visit the German Christmas Markets to seek out handmade jewelry and linens. And, if somebody wanted to buy me a Kindle that would be okay too.

Marla said...

Love today's pictures, especially that little tree! I'm dreaming of everyone in my family being healthy at the same time, getting my freelance work done, and having time to craft with my daughter.

As for what I'm dreaming? Just dreaming that all the hustle and bustle will soon be over, and we can celebrate the true meaning of Christmas with our kids!

Summer Braxton said...

That Mandala 494 image is breathtaking. At first glance it looks like an eye, then you see all the cool details when you look closer. Love that!
I recently moved from FL to NoVA and we're expecting SNOW tomorrow. I'm excited and a little nervous. I don't have any water-resistent outerwear.

I am dreaming of a nice boring traditional family Christmas. Last year was a disaster for the Northeast-ICE Storm 2008. A tree on the house roof and no electricity for 6 days and no hotel room. But there were many more worst off. Boring would be nice. Connie NH

I'm dreaming of lots of great moments with my grams. If only we could spend the days cooking and the evenings crocheting. That would be a dream christmas season!

Elaine said...

I'd like to see snow at Christmas time! :)

I'm dreaming of a coolish day for Christmas, sometimes in Australia we have hot Christmas days (36 degrees Celcius and above) which can be a bit difficult for cooking and for big parties in small houses - where people have to sit outside!

Such a dreamy comforting post Cath! Love the bird picture! I am dreaming of a safe, prosperous holiday for the world(nothing like a little dreaming, is there?)

I am dreaming (and hoping) that 2010 is a better year than 2009 has been.

I didn't have to do much dreaming of white because we've had snow the past 2 days. Hopefully some will be around for christmas too.

I'm dreaming of Rain, Rain and more Rain in Sunny southern California. We need it and I just want a change in the weather. Would love to stay home and craft in my jammies all day with Xmas music playing in the background and the sound of rain outside.. SIGH..

I am dreaming of a white Christmas - no, really! We have always went back home to TN for the holidays, but this year we are staying in MI. Our daughter who is a freshman in college will be home for the holidays and we don't want to spend her whole break traveling. It will be nice to have her home. :D

I AM dreaming of a white christmas as I have never had one - the only white powder we see at Christmas is the sand on the beach. Christmas here in Australia is all about sunshine, beach days and seafood and salad for christmas lunch.

I'm dreaming of Christmas cookies, time with my family and friends, and the smiles on my kiddos faces as they open presents.
