You write wonderfully I love reading your posts. Hope the heating is fixed. We have had the same problem and the engineer has been out on a few occasions trying to fix it.
Another stunning layout. The photo is exquisite, beautifully composed and sharp in focus, and how you've blended it with the journaling and background. So talented. Your journaling is bar none. You are a gifted writer. Hope all those heating problems are solved soon!!!! Pxx
Do so hope it's warm and toasty as you read this. Can't think of anything worse than to be without heat when it's cold! Brrr. And was the tree tall enough? Hopefully so and that when Himself returns you had a hot cuppa cocoa (or tea?) as you set it up...the moment was wonderfully captured in both prose and photo. So glad you invited us to pause and capture our moments; they are priceless.
I join everyone else in hoping that your heating has been well and truly fixed by now! And also that you feel less lacklustre. Beautifully recorded moment, as ever xx
I was shivering with you which is strange because our heating is playing up but the other way, I wish I could send you some of our excess! Hoping your man was able to call out to you. I love your beautiful page, and hat!
Yet another hoping the heating has been sorted. Weekends was frantic, grabbing a moment to relax here with you (and my lunch), did write my moment - just need to get it typed up.

Hello, wanted to thank you for the comment on my blog. So glad to find your blog, I love your pages, stories and pictures. What a beautiful writer you are, so glad your telling the story of your family. Hope the heat is back on for you today. I will have to try your link up in the New Year, my OLW is story and also to write more and improve my handwriting. THis would be helpful for me! Have a wonderful day!
Brrr... I'm cold thinking about you sitting there in an English winter without heat... Hope it's fixed now! I also hope that Dad is bouncing back and the tree was all you hoped it to be!
Hello, Alexa ~ I'm playing catch up this morning and have just enjoyed a lovely time here at your blog. Gosh, your photos and layouts and artistic ability just blow me away. I'm a huge fan!!! I loved your story and layout about reading to your grandson on the phone - so sweet!
I hope you have a lovely Christmas, Alexa! I look forward to getting to know you better through your blog in 2013. :o) xo
A lovely moment captured. Glad you got your heating sorted. I have posted a Simply a Moment but have missed the linky. Will try and do it on time in future!
Capturing the magic of the everyday to enjoy it again tomorrow. Exploring the art of wayfaring simply and gracefully through life: adjusting to changing conditions, maintaining balance and momentum, and logging the journey.
what a lovely layout and a beautiful photograph.
