Merry Christmas!
Sunday, December 25th, 2011Already Preparing for Christmas 2012!
Saturday, December 24th, 2011
Just one more day! I can’t believe how quickly the Christmas season has come upon us. At Blossom Bucket, we are working with Christmas product all year long, so sometimes when we’re in the middle of the holiday season, it’s easy to forget what time of year it is. In fact, I just spent the last week in our new showroom in Dallas setting up the 2012 Christmas display! The winter show season starts the first week of January, and we’ll be featuring our 2012 Harvest & Christmas lines at the various markets. Here’s a sneak peek of one of our new Christmas pieces that we’ll be introducing at the January shows.
Look for this item to arrive in stores next summer!
Merry Christmas and best wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year!

Baking with Grandma
Friday, December 16th, 2011
Hi there, and Happy Friday!
If there is one thing I love about the holidays, it’s food. Yeah, it’s nice to hang out with family, but come on… There are some foods that you just wait for all year! My Grandma’s pumpkin roll is one of them. We only have it on Thanksgiving or Christmas, and we all love it. My cousin Katie and my brother have been known to violently fight over the last piece. Last year, she decided she was done making it. Slowly but surely, she’s trying to pass all of the baking to me. She bought me a pizzelle iron, and now this. Last weekend, she decided to give me, my mom, two of my aunts, and my cousin lessons in the art of pumpkin roll. It’s all from scratch, and made with love. We ended up making four rolls! Absolutely delicious!
I know how that the tradition will be kept alive in our family, and that’s the best lesson of all!
Now, on to make the pizzelles….
Have a great weekend!

Christmas Traditions
Thursday, December 15th, 2011Where has this year gone? Only 11 days before Christmas. Seems as we get older, time goes faster. This time of the year is very special to me. I love watching my two daughters get so excited anticipating Santa’s arrival. Each year, just after Thanksgiving, Santa send two helper elves (Elf on the Shelf) to our house to report back to him on how well our girls are behaving. Each night, they leave and come back in the morning to a new spot in the house. Every morning the girls get up excited to find where their “elf” is sitting when he returned from reporting to Santa at the North Pole. Having the elves around really helps to get them up and moving to get ready for school. Someone needs to invent an “Elf on the Shelf” for the rest of the year!
Have a great weekend,

Catching Christmas Spirit!
Monday, December 12th, 2011
Hi there, and Happy Monday!
I can’t believe we have less than 2 weeks until Christmas! I plan on spending my week wrapping, baking, shipping, and shopping. My nephew has been getting into the spirit of things, too. When my brother lived in Wooster, my mom and I decorated his apartment for Christmas while he was at work one day. He made the mistake of giving me a key! My nephew found the tiny tree we had set up for my brother, and it’s now his new best friend. He wants to sit by it every day, wants the lights on constantly, and carries ornaments around all day long. Don’t worry, there isn’t any coffee in that cup! He just likes to pretend so once my sister in law and I are done with our drinks, we rinse out the cups and he has a good time with them.
With his “coffee” in one hand and his ornaments in the other, he seems to be all set for Christmas! He was “helping” his babysitter wrap some gifts and set them under their tree. After a minute, she realized he hadn’t come back from putting a gift under the tree. She found him with unwrapped gifts, trying to get toys out of the packaging. Yep, I’d say he’s definitely ready!
Are you ready for Christmas?
Have a great week!

My Favorite Christmas Movies
Tuesday, December 6th, 2011I love Christmas for many reasons. I love how my house looks and smells right after I decorate. I love being in the crazy mass of humanity on Black Friday fighting for all the great deals. I love baking Christmas cookies and breakfast on Christmas morning. I love watching my children open their gifts… and I love watching them give gifts to others. I love the real meaning of Christmas… and sharing that with my family. There is so much to love about this season!
One of my most favorite things to do is watch all the great Christmas movies with my family. There are so many and new ones every year. I’ve listed 10 of the top movies of this season below:
Decorating the Tree!
Saturday, December 3rd, 2011
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! I sure did! Can you believe it is the first weekend in December? As I am writing this blog, we are having our first snowfall of the year. I don’t know that I am quite ready for it… but ready or not, it’s here!
I was fortunate to have off last week. I was able to get quite a bit of my Christmas decorating done. The lights are strung, the wreaths are hung, and the tree is done! My house has a warm and cozy Christmas feeling, and I love it. Especially at night, when all the lights in the house are off except for the Christmas lights. My favorite! I wish I could leave my Christmas lights up all year long. How is your Christmas decorating coming along? Have you started? Are you done? I would love to hear!
Have a great weekend!

Anne is Christmas Shopping in West Virginia
Friday, November 18th, 2011Hi there, and Happy Friday!
Like I posted on Monday, I spent some time down in Wheeling, West Virginia at the Oglebay Resort with some of my friends last weekend. We wanted to check out the Festival of Lights, and we weren’t disappointed! My friends and I love Christmas so much, but never really are able to spend a big chunk of time together celebrating over the holidays. We took the two hour trip down to Wheeling to do some Christmas shopping, and check out the sights.
