Matchbox Day 22

Today's matchbox comes from our hostess Linda Smith.  What a lovely box with the vintage Santa image and tiny reindeer.  The gold trim both inside and out give the box a holiday sparkle.  Another vintage image inside and a compass tucked in the box.  Thank you Linda.

Matchbox # 21


Matchbox for Day 21 is from Heidi.  I just love the house theme.  The minature bottlebrush tree near an elegantly decorated front door and a sparkling roof.  Inside is another house.  Don't you just love the old photo with the Santa cap.  It is a graduation photo.  Back is signed Dorothy.  What a wonderful matchbox.  Thank you Heidi.

Matchbox 19


Match box # 19 comes from Peace.  The Silent Night theme is so beautiful with Mary and Baby.  Tucked inside the box was a lovely button charm.  Thank you Peace for this lovely matchbox.  We are starting the last week of the swap as we approach the birthday of our Savior.

Matchbox 18

Today I received this "Formal Matchbox" from Shawnee.  Inside the box was tucked a lovely delicate charm on a silver ribbon.  Isn't this the cutest Tux!   Thank you Shawnee.

O Holy Night



Today we are asked to use the theme favorite Christmas music for our Pink Saturday post.  My all time favorite Christmas song is "O Holy Night".  My DH took me to the Dave Koz Smooth Jazz Christmas Concert at the Mesa Arts Center this week.  This was their best concert ever.  We have been going for the past few years.  The most moving part of the concert was when Jonathan Butler sang O Holy Night.  He received a standing ovation.  It brought tears to your eyes.  I couldn't find Jonathan's song on You Tube but I found this one.  It isn't a professional group or video but I love the arrangement.
