This was such a wonderful post. The photographs are so wonderful - twin beds and your mother's dress - vintage heaven! Velda - don't you just love names from the past. Might you know the hard ball stage number on the thermometer? I would love to make the toffee! Thank you for the shout out, I am so glad you like your calendar. It was fun to make. Lastly, so many beautiful tags and paper art. You have a such an eye for the Victorian style. Sigh! I think we are in a Victorian phase ourselves these days with all our paper snipping! Merry Christmas to you! Looking forward to you wonderful posts in the New Year!

Thanks for showing us your vintage photos, I always adore looking at them. A Christmas Carol is one of my favorite books. I enjoy watching all the video versions as well, my favorite being the one with Albert Finney. Love the music in that one. A couple of weeks ago, we took the children to see the latest digital version at the movie theatre. It was pretty good, but a bit dark and moody for the kids. Have a great Monday.<br />MaureenCelestial Charmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254781524622723594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126297807687367644.post-48938956264454848352009-12-21T08:14:02.170-08:002009-12-21T08:14:02.170-08:00LOVE your card & Tag!

And it is so hard to do. We are not going to worry about it until after the first. In the meantime we will enjoy!!!!! Thanks for sharing photos of favorite memeories for you. I need to dig some old photos out. And yes, it is funny everyone looked good for opening gifts... now we all still have out jammy's on. And the hair is frightful. I am sure I will be by again before Christmas my friend so for now... enjoy each day of this special season. Hugs!

I love the book as well, another of my favourite Christmas stories. Just wouldn't be Christmas without reading it at least once! There was a Cranford Chronicles Christmas special here last night (part one) and I thought of you. I know you would enjoy it so much. I love that English toffee recipe too! So simple and I am betting really tasty!! Love the old pictures as well. You are so blessed to have them! Sending lots of Christmas Love to the Campbell household this morning! Thanks so much for the beautiful spirit I feel here every time I visit and all that you do for us and share with us!!

Your cards are always so lovely. A friend gave me homemade toffee the other day and it was heavenly. My kids loved it and wanted to know why I don't make it. I found the recipe on another blog and now here it is on your's, so I guess I am gonna have to give it a try. I hope the hard ball test works for me as I've never done that before. Always enjoy seeing treasured black and white photos from the past. Hope you have a fantastic day.
