What A Beautiful Sight

No, it’s not my oak table dining room table (that I’m so ready to paint) and the chairs that I REALLY dislike these days….. It’s the fact that this table is finally empty! For the last 5 months it’s been full of hand-made Christmas ornaments, all the craft supplies needed to make those ornaments and 30 mini Christmas trees like … Continue reading

I have this project…..lol! “What’s new” you may say, but seriously this is a big project.  I was rooked into (nobody is every rooked into serving), actually I was asked kindly, to oversee all of the decorations at my church’s women’s ministry Christmas Birthday Bash.  Everyone loves to organize a good party,… ok so not everyone, but I do, so, when I was asked, I really wanted to … Continue reading

Christmas Tree Quest

On Tuesday evening, my husband and daughters were discussing when we would take the family outing to find the perfect Christmas tree. I was in the room, but not really involved in the conversation, just listening mostly. The coming weekend was the goal, but busy schedules were getting in the way. Before I knew it, they had decided, now, tonight, right after dinner, … Continue reading
