It's a good feeling to clean out things and purge. You feel lighter.

Your trip was simply amazing. I was fascinated by the beautiful architecture. To see so much in one place must be overwhelming! I would certainly come home with a crick in my neck and a sore finger that kept pushing the shutter button on the camera! Your ornaments are lovely as usual. I like your idea of using felt on the backs of flat ornaments. I usually use fabric, but sometimes it's hard to find a print that matches well with the front design. I'll keep felt in mind for future finishes! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Ours was small, but wonderful!Cathy H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10779935742253650385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-26912707164262041732019-11-25T03:33:18.995-05:002019-11-25T03:33:18.995-05:00Adoro il tuo angolo armadio, hai una casa bellissi...Adoro il tuo angolo armadio, hai una casa bellissima!Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177806566579236355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-67270570340585484072019-11-24T09:43:37.390-05:002019-11-24T09:43:37.390-05:00I enjoy your cruise posts!

But it's fascinating to do some armchair travel. :D Beautiful cities -- Budapest especially, blows me away. Wow! I'll be interested to hear your take on the whole river cruise thing. DH periodically teases and says we should do one. I am not sure we could afford one, but it's nice to think about. lol!

Thank you for taking us along with you on your trip. There are some amazing photos and what a fabulous record of your holiday! I am amazed at the architecture and I think my favourite is the roof on St. Matthias church. It looks like a quilt! So beautiful! I hope you and your family have a very happy Thanksgiving and I'm sure you will make wonderful memories together.

Now I want to go to Slovakia too. <br />I never heard of Lizzi High dolls but they are certainly charming. Your corner cabinet is dressed beautifully for Thanksgiving. I agree, your PS Santa is holding a birdfeeder!! I like how you finished your Santa's the same with the simple cording and gingham ribbon. The Let is snow is darling and love the finish. I wish I could stitch on black like you can. I just love how the white pops on the black and so perfect for a snow stitch. <br />We had flurries but nothing sticking yet. I was more than ready for cold weather after the hot summer though. HOpe you have a Blessed Thanksgiving with your tribe!!!

If you haven’t been there, you should add it to your list for a winter trip! Such an interesting little island with history and culture from many regimes. Love you ornaments and thanks for sharing how you back them - I may have to try the felt! Love your pictures from Slovakia and Budapest - what interesting places to visit and amazing architecture that you saw! Thanks for sharing about your trip - look forward to hearing about the cruise line. I am curious to know the average age of travelers....and whether a couple in their 40s would be a good fit for the boat! Your pictures sure make me want to try one of the river cruises!

Love your two new finishes of course. The Let it Snow is gorgeous on the black with the blue finishing. Perfect as always. I agree with your finishing for the Santa's they deserve to shine themselves. I just LOVE your Thanksgiving corner. Perfect! Thanks for sharing all the details. Please don't enter me into the drawing. I wish everyone luck though. Now to your cruise photos. Gorgeous! Thanks again for sharing. I love sharing my trips on my blog. I enjoy looking back on past trips so much. I agree it's hard to remember. So writing it down really helps. I enjoyed all the photos and the information behind them.

It always seems such a beautiful holiday to celebrate with families getting together.<br /><br />I can't believe how many photos you have taken on your tour of the Danube! Amazing.

It's slow going, though - I'm trying to throw away as little as possible, and finding good new homes for everything takes time! Now since grandpa died, a lot of his stuff has been added to the pile, we're currently trying to sell his car...but we'll get there, little by little.<br />I love your new ornaments and Thanksgiving decoration. It all matches very well.<br />I'd love to be entered in the Giveaway, but I have a hard time finding an actually memory - I did a lot of stitching this year that I really enjoyed, but I don't have any specific memory standing out, it all blurs together. But finishing the over one cross stitch on my Mermaid last week was certainly a very happy experience!<br />I actually enjoy how much time you're taking talking about the cruise. With how gray and cold it is outside now, it's nice to have some pictures of sunnier days to look at and dream!<br />You made good way in your last days of the journey. Hungary is a bucket list goal for me as well, although more for the Pannonian Steppe than the cities!<br /><br /><br />Leonore Wintererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681857834221038780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-63831372278508944072019-11-18T10:27:35.805-05:002019-11-18T10:27:35.805-05:00Carol,
