Christmas Tree & A Thank you…

 

I wanted to first thank Fifi for featuring our blog Dustylu in the

latest Spring issue 2011 of Romantic Country. 

I also have published work from

Glitter Fest 2010 in this issue on newsstand now,

that project was so much fun! 

There are many talented blogger’s in this latest issue, 

Ruth from The Beautiful Life, Coty Farquhar,

Maria from Dreamy White’s, Tracey from French Larkspur 

  as well as Jennifer

Rizzo who photographed wonderful image’s of  Anne Marie’s

 Na-Da Farm Barn Sale event this past October…I wish I could go to

the next one in May…sorry Anne Marie.

Jennifer and Anne Marie are so talented!

I was honored to be amongst these wonderful women.

I also enjoyed reading about stylist Sunday Hendrickson Office

Romance. She also has published work in this issue. I love her styling!

Thank you Fifi for all your encouragement and support!!!

Here is are some images of our tree this year.

I really enjoy photographing at night.

Antique ornaments, dried hydrangeas, and my

love for sugar house’s. My mom use to decorate our tree with

these when I was young. I love to put the lights in the back of them and

watch them glow.  I collect these from flea markets all year.

a very Merry, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I am so grateful for all of you, your comments, support, long chats

on the phone and emails mean more to me than you know. Thank you from

the bottom of my heart! Happy Holiday’s from

our family to yours.

Be back soon.

Always,

    Hey girl! Looks like I need to run, not walk to Barnes and Noble to grab up this issue. Fun stuff! Your tree looks amazing, but from you I expect nothing less. I also wanted to thank you for your thoughtful comment. We are doing fine now, and thank goodness for the sunshine today : )
