Ok... here is what I need to say to you all, my friends... Thank you so much for the comments. I am blushing. I won't lie... I work really hard on Primcats house and it takes me weeks to decorate to make it wonderful and enchanting for each and every season and you have really made me feel like I accomplished that this year. Thank you. I just don't know what to say. If all I got for Christmas this year was your kind words... I would be happy. I am filled with joy that I have caused inspiration in blogland. You have no idea how much that means. I derive so much from you all, I breath in 100% creativity from you all... to give back and be told it's good really makes me happy. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit me and comment. My heart swells with Christmas joy that I feel I have given back what you have all given me for so many years now. :) Thank you. Thank you friends. ♥ And Merry Christmas.

Wow, your kitchen is just as wonderful as the living room. I love all the trees decorated about. I haven't done much decorating in my kitchen, just a little in the dining room. I ran out of time after shopping, working, wrapping gifts, etc. I can't wait to see more. Everything looks so prim, I love it.
Thanks for another nice tour.

Hi, Carmen, I am new to following your blog and just love it! The mouse eating the cookies under the pantry protector thingy is so cute! If it were here in our old farmhouse, the mouse might be real!!! I just have to tell you, I have 5 indoor cats, all rescues or just dumped at our farm. And they are all total failures as mousers! The cocker spaniel beats them out! Anyway, I read about your tattletale, and immediately ordered one. It worked for a day or two, then they were smart enough to figure out that if they went to the other side of the tree, they could avoid it, can you believe that? So every day I have to move the tattle tale to a different part of the tree. My cats are a ragdoll mix, a tortie, a dark gray (do you call it blue?) an orange, and a tabby. Two are long haired. It seems like all I ever do is clean cat hair, I can't imagine how you manage and have such a beautiful, clean, home!!!???
Melinda
I love everything. Will you come decorate my house for the holiday!!! You are soooo talented!!! OK I am a snowman lover. Inquiring minds want to know...did you make the huge snowman? Thanks for taking us on such a wonderful virtual tour. It was awesome!!!!!
Merry Christmas
Carol
Everything is so spectacular Carmen! Love how you group your prims together :) You have a beautiful home!
