I hope you will like these 3 old Santa images.  I love them and hope to use them myself this week if I get the time to make what I have in mind for them! I know a few people who collect Santas and Christmas ornaments, often displaying them the year 'round. 
They are beautiful and an absolute delight to look at, bringing such light into the eyes of a child, it is a delight to behold!
Happy hoilidays all and remember ...
be sweet!  XXXOOOXXOOX

Christmas Images Already? Free To Use As You Please

After being sent my own personal angel, I couldn't help but think of Christmas, although Halloween and Thanksgiving have not yet arrived!!
Christmas is my very favorite time of the year.  I think it is to most everyone, especially to the little children.  I remember how excited my own children became weeks before the holiday!  They were like little elves, eyes sparkling with the wonderment of it all.  They loved to go riding at night, marveling at all the twinkling lights.  I believe their little faces outshone even the brightest of lights!  It was a time of joy and excitement for them.
What special memories of Christmas comes to mind for you?
I am sure we all have many that stand out.  I have such special childhood memories myself, of the holiday seasons when my brothers and I were small and my sweet little mom and dad made them all the more special for us.  How lucky we were to have apples, oranges and chocolate santas in our stockings on Christmas morning!!  We actually hung up real stockings, not the kind you buy in a store, but the best ones we could find that we wore to keep us warm during the cold winter days.  They hung proudly and prominently on nails by the tree Dad had cut himself.  We strung popcorn, made paper ornaments and Mama helped us cut out a big star for the tree top.  It was the most beautiful tree in the world to us.
I really get carried away when those memories bubble up!  I hope you like the Christmas images and can use them in your crafting or just enjoy them as I do.
Be sweet!!

Freebie Image Assortment and "Just Thoughts"

Quite an assortment for you today!  I actually remember having a phone almost exactly like the image here, where we had to take the receiver off and hold the cylindrical mouthpiece just right to be heard!!!
Uh, oh! Have I almost told my age?  More likely that was a very realistic dream I had one night.  I surely can't be that old!!  Or can I? 
My favorite of the 3 images today is the book with the white rose.  I think it looks very elegant and I hope you like it as well.  I also love the old ad for peaches grown in Georgia.  I hope you will find a use for them and let me see what you have come up with.

I am participating in an ATC swap at, of all things, Blissfull ATC Swap.   I would love it if you would pop over and take a look.  It is rather new and is growing by leaps and bounds.  I hate to admit I have only made one ATC.  That is pretty pitiful, but I was invited to participate so I was not about to refuse!!!  I will be posting the card I receive from my swap partner as soon as it arrives.  Isn't that fun? 
I am fascinated by old things.  They are so unique, so special in showing us a life different as we know it to be today.  What amazes me is that so many of the things that were done matter of factly back in the day  is now coming into a full circle and folks are calling homemade cleaners, making do with what you've got, living a more simple life, etc. "the new way"!!  The new way is the old way, the way my mom and grandmas cooked and cleaned, ran their house and their lives.  It works as well to day as it did then.  Don't fix it if it ain't broke!
Be sweet!!

Gorgeous Old Magazine Covers

Cosmopolitan and The Ladies Home Journal for 15 cents?  The blue Cosmopolitan is newer, 1933 to be exact and the price has gone to a whopping 25 cents!!  Wouldn't it be nice to purchase such classy magazines at those prices today?!
Hats were so fashionable back in the day.  I love the black hat with the big red ribbon, although the jaunty little beige with its cluster of flowers is stunning as well.
I hope you like these images and can find a use for them in one of your projects.  I think they would be lovely, simply matted and framed in a set.
That's about it for this time, so be sweet, all and enjoy the freebies.

Four Freebie Fruit Labels

I LOVE the colorful labels and I can just see them in a crafty creation or a collage.  I am certain you will find a perfect spot for these little darlings if you love them only half as much as I do.
Enjoy them and ... be sweet!!

Perfection Is A Rose

These are 3 images of seed packets depicting the most beautiful and perfect red and pink roses I could ever hope to see.  I know you will find a place where these will be exactly what you have been searching for to finish that piece of art swirling around inside the imagination!!  I do hope you like them as much as I do.
In all your endeavors, be sweet!
