Stockings Hung!

"Something to eat, Something to read, Something to play with, and Something they need."
Victorian Christmas Stocking Recipe~

Well, we did it! We made and hung our stockings with great care, decorated our mantels...and had a jolly good time doing so, if I do say so myself! Mr. 24 even joined us and played paper-scissor elf, which was an enormous help!

My students are absolute angels, and a few of them graciously allowed me to keep their festive fireplaces for one week so that I could deck the halls with them, and give the whole local world a chance to see their adorable stockings and enjoy the warmth of their pretty fires.

We have one more class together before Christmas break and I want their last picture of the year to be just as fun as this one was...I'm thinking polar bears & presents might do the trick...and maybe a touch of sparkle!

BTW...I had the most amazing day yesterday with two very special ladies whom you all know and love...it was like a dream...I hope to share it with you very soon!
