'Twas The Night Before Christmas Eve

Dreaming of a white Christmas or what Santa will bring?
I love Christmas Eve eve! Always have. I'm as filled with excitement as if it were actually Christmas Eve.

Today was a great day! I spent the afternoon here at home with my bff G; our annual Christmas get-together. (I hugged her before she even got in the front door, I couldn't wait!) Much talking & laughter along with cookies, tea, knitting, books, A Christmas Carol and lunch. It did my heart & soul a lot of good!

While doing some journaling earlier, I got to thinking about my word for 2011. A few years ago through an online book group, I started picking a word to represent overall what I hoped to get out of the coming year. I'd have to look at my journal from '08 to remember that year's word (I think it was bloom or blossom) but last year it was "Simplicity" ( and "Simplicity brings Clarity brings Harmony" is the mantra I created to go with it). I carried it over to this year as well. I am unsure if I will do so for again 2011 or if I will find a new word (and mantra) for the coming year. (More journaling to come).

What is your word, your intention for 2011?

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

2009 Halloween Fete! (Saturday October 17, 2009) **UPDATED!** This shindig is still going strong!

Welcome! I'm so happy to have had so many visitors already! I must apologize for not being ready for you earlier! I also apologize for the wacky font sizes throughout my post. No matter how hard I try, I can't correct them. If music doesn't begin playing shortly after your arrival, scroll down until you see a purple music widget begin to load in the left hand column and wait until you hear the music before scrolling back up here. Happy Halloween Fete 2009! Love and Spookiness to All! ~Jo (Continue scrolling down until the end of the post) Outside, it's a gloomy & cold day here on the NJ coast. Many a restless Spirit wander here on days like this. One can never be too sure if the fog & mist are just as they seem. Inside, it is warm yet equally frightful! Creepy crawlies have gotten into the food & drink, I so hope you don't mind! What with all of the party hopping we're doing, I didn't want you to bust a gut, so I've laid out some Pumpkin Cook

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun
