This is a great time of year to show a little appreciation. I have in my head that children’s Christmas carol that goes… ‘There isn’t any room, there isn’t any room, there isn’t any room for strangers’. I like to think that there’s a little space for ‘strangers’ on this blog. Some of them have turned into the most wonderful friends!
I started out with such a great idea! I wanted to create a Christmas tree out of ‘baubles’. Each of those baubles would represent a special blogging friend. Sadly the reality hasn’t quite lived up to my expectations. My ‘baubles’ have kind of fallen off the tree! Ah, me and technology! A fatal combination. Never mind! I’m glad it’s the thought that counts.
If you click on a photo it will take you to a person who brings me joy. I don’t have space on my ‘tree’ for everybody. What a tree that would be! Please be sure there are many more of you who brighten my life, and I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone. This is a very special world we bloggers have, isn’t it, where strangers can become friends? Sending you all Christmas hugs!
I’m linking this to Kan’s Joy is… This week Yvette has posted a very thoughtful Christmas message. (she’s the little white rocking horse!) It’s just how Christmas should be.
Wishing you peace and joy this Christmas! I hope the New Year smiles on you. A very Merry Christmas, one and all!
Beautiful ornaments! So glad I saved it to enjoy now!
You must have found a little spare time 🙂 Thank you so much for spending it with me. Choose any colour bauble you want, Kathryn 🙂
One of each I think 🙂
Great blog idea and it is the thought that really counts and you are most thoughtful.😍
Thanks a lot, Jack 🙂 Happy 2015 to you!
What a kind and generous spirit you have, Jo! I thought the idea of using ornaments as virtual Christmas cards was brilliant…and loved that you chose the red slipper for Madhu. Perfect! 🙂
I needed a bigger and much less lop-sided tree to fit everyone on, Elisa! Maybe you’d like a zingy yellow bauble? You choose! 🙂
What a beautiful idea! I just love it! Hope you are enjoying the holiday season!!
Today I’m in a restful phase, which is unusual in itself 🙂 Thanks for your kind words and very best wishes for 2015.
I heartily say that it’s so great meeting you this year, Jo.
Not a male ‘bauble’ in sight, Rommel! How about an electric blue for you? Have a good one, whatever colour you choose to paint the town 🙂 🙂
Jo, what a fantastic idea … with the ornaments!! Amazing job and you’re truly creative. Not only beautiful to soul and heart … and looks. Don’t know what to say … what a honor to be the top angle. Now my heart is going all fuzzy. I would be delighted just laying under your tree. You’re a star in more than one way.
Not really, Vivi 🙂 I just thought it a nice idea and you’ve been so kind to me 🙂
Jo, I think this with your tree … is such a lovely gesture – really thoughtful and giving. Thank you so much!!! This means so much to me.
The ornaments sent off to different posts is a fantastic idea! Anyone should appreciate the effort and not all can ever be included in awards or special recognition posts. After all we have 100’s of friends… smiles!
Feel free to choose a bauble, Robin- what colour would you like? 🙂
What a lovely idea, Jo, and what an honour to be included. Thank you for your special friendship and conversation since we met in glorious 2014.
It wouldn’t have been possible for you not to have a place on the tree, Meg. Shivery hugs all the way from the UK 🙂
