HOME ~ Welcome Back!


Home is a place where we fit right in. ~ Randy Alcorn

Happy New Year and Welcome back to my  HOME, dear bloggy friends! I hope you all had a splendid Christmas and you're looking forward to this brand new year.

Here at my HOME, I am simply delighted to have you visit. If you have anything at all HOME related, I invite you to share it with us by linking up below. I will be happy to visit you.

I do not have a recipe to share with you this week because I have been down with a virus but I did share a review of this past year's tea parties. If you would like to see more, kindly visit the post below this one.


My features this week are from my last HOME for the Holidays party and I hope you enjoy them.

Carol at Art and Sand made these sweet little stars  napkin rings. She shared her tutorial in her post.

Alessandra at My Romantic Creations shared her very pretty Christmas vignette using her collection of angels.


Linda at Beautiful Ideas shared her lovely Christmas vignette at the end of the hall. Beautiful and festive!

Jennifer at Jennifer's Petal Palace shared some gorgeous creations such as this snowman ornament.


Dawn at We Call It Junkin set a Christmas tablescape using items she picked up while thrifting. Very festive!

Thank you ladies for sharing your wonderful posts here at my HOME and thank you to all of you for welcoming us into your lovely homes every week. You make us feel so welcome.

Lord, this humble house we'd keep
Sweet with play and calm with sleep.
Help us so that we may give
Beauty to the lives we live.
Let Thy beauty and Thy grace
Shine upon our dwelling place. ~ Edgar A. Guest

  2. Hi Sandi,
    I hope that the virus will be leaving you soon and you'll be feeling better.
    All the features are wonderful and so inspirational. Thank you for hosting and I must say that I love the poem/prayer you shared. Isn't that a beautiful one?
    Hugs and blessings sent to you, my friend.

  3. Happy New Year, Sandi!

    Hope you are feeling better! It seems that there's a nasty bug making its way across North America! You'd think that it wouldn't survive, given the below freezing temps!

    Thanks for hosting and get well soon!

  9. What a sweetie you are to feature my star napkin rings. I had to debate about keeping them downstairs to use again or put them in the attic until next Christmas. They went to the attic and so now I will have to make some heart napkin rings for February.

    I am posting about our new table top in the dining room so I think I can link up because I do feature our table setting on the first night we used it.

    Thanks again.
