ChrIstmas Magic round 2!!

Hi there!  Still recuperating but getting there and must say it's good to be home!  Well just when you think it can't get any prettier or more inspirational comes round two. I had so many pictures (about 170)  it was just too much for one post so I have divided this into two posts and will choose one winner from each "round" If you missed round 1 click here......you do  not want to miss it (but voting is now closed).

I will end the voting the Friday morning  and announce the lucky winners at that time as well.  So much to enjoy and be inspired by......it almost makes me wish Christmas wasn't another 12 months away! Many thanks once again to all who participated and took the time to send in their magnificent, funny, amusing, whimsical and beautiful pictures, I had such fun going over them. So here we go.......let me present gorgeous round 2!

Such amazing inspiration...admittedly for me the voting took a while yet again  and many many trips back to take it all in. I will announce the two lucky winners on Friday morning and announce my new contest for January at that time as well. Many thanks for stopping in...and joining in the fun. And of course a special thanks to all the many who sent in their wonderful pictures and kept the Christmas magic spirit alive just a wee bit longer!  Wishing you a wonderful day. Remember you can vote for up to five of your favorites on the poll (once per day).  Until Friday.......

  7. Contrary to the scrooge above me, I am so excited over this post!!!! Thank you Tina for posting this contest, and allowing the magic of Christmas to continue just a little bit longer (my tree is still up and doesn't' get taken down until mid Jan). I LOVE Christmas and all that goes along with it. So many great pictures, the ones of the pets and kids always get to me, reminds me of my poodle Lucy who was with us for many Christmas holidays. Happy you are home and wishing you a very happy new year.
