Another Tuesday and another 2nd Time Around. Does it seem like the days come around like speed on a race course? It does to me. Our host is Diane at, A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words. I do love to post the great thrifty bargains I find and this Christmas these are some good ones. Thank you Diane for hosting this fun event. Be sure and visit Diane's blog for more thrifty finds.
The thrifty finds are the candy canes $3.00, Mr. and Mrs. Santa $2.00, and the sleds (one on each side) $10.00. My son found those. Check out the reflection of me taking this photo. Who knew???
Christmas Love,
Jeanne
Jeanne, our first apartment was completely furnished in "second time around" items given to us my by parents. We've come a looooong way, sugar! ;-)

I do see you in the relection. ;-)
And, I recognize the jointed Santa on the ground next to the reindeer.

Hi Jeanne, Don't you just love a great bargain! And your bargains are super cute! Love the Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. Your porch is so festive and pretty decked out (what a pun...lol) for Christmas!
Your guest bedroom is beautiful below! I love your furniture pieces, especially the light blue chair with the JOY pillow! And the recipe sounds delish...and the cookies are precious! ~hugs, Rhonda :)

Hi Jeanne! I came over a while back to respond to your sweet comment on my blog, and the word verification wouldn't show the letters to type, so I couldn't post my comment. Now, I have forgotten what I wrote. But, I do remember to tell you that yes, like you and your new little one, I have been up about twice a night w/ my sweetie, but she's worth it, like I'm sure yours is. This is the first week it's getting better! :o) Hope you're having nice holidays! Can't believe it's next week! Love those sleds and Santas!

Love your treasures, sweet Jeanne, and how they frame your entry!! Too cute!! Sure am itchin' to do some thriftin' myself, but haven't gotten around to it yet! Probably won't til after Christmas! Oh and by the way...the next time you are in central Florida we need to do lunch or something!! I won't get up your way again until 2011, so whoever is first!! We could meet in Orlando and it would be about an equal drive for both of us!! What do ya think??
Hope your week is going well so far! Mine sure is!! Still lots to accomplish, but God is helping me pace myself and just chug along!!
Love and hugs to you sweet friend!!
Have a joyful week!
