Remembering...

I remember when saying "Merry Christmas" wasn't a bad thing. I remember people who never went to church or even thought about Christ as a person still said "Merry Christmas". I love Christmas, not because of all the gifts but because of what it stands for. The birth of my Lord and Savior,  if He had not been born He could not have died for our sins, then where would we be?  Lost.

I'm looking forward to the family coming up this weekend, we will have food, fun, and fellowship, and some gifts but the best part is getting together with those we love. 

Tim and I have been busy getting ready to open a new booth in Grayling. It is going to be located in the old DuBois Lumber building, grand opening will be January 23. I'm excited to be back in Grayling. I love this little town, we still do a lot of things "the old fashioned way"... people helping people, going to the store and almost always seeing someone you know. I love it.

Well, enough of that , here are some pictures of what we have been up to.

 This dresser has an opening where the top drawer would be, the suitcase just happened to fit into that opening...it is not going to be sold with the dresser I'm just showing them some ways of using the top opening, a basket or two would also be great there.

We found this wardrobe while we were out looking for a base cabinet to turn into a small Hoosier type cabinet. Well we found the base cabinet and this little charm was sitting there with a " hold for" tag on it. this place will only hold for a day then it is up for grabs . The gal who had her name on it did not come back so I grabbed it.

 It was in sad shape, Tim had to do some major repairs,

I found some neat feet to add to the bottom...

 Then had the idea to add a little glam to the top

 Here is the finished piece and I'm really loving it, may have a hard time parting with this one.

I painted the inside white...that was the hardest part for me, not much elbow room. Would have been easier if I could have crawled inside, that was not possible.

This  little beauty is a real winner, it has eight drawers and the top two are divided...this could service two kids in the same room or used for extra storage in any room of the house.

I guess that's all I have for this time...hope your Christmas is blessed and your new year is a great one.

So,that's all for now..

From my porch to yours...

Have a blessed week...
