Christmas is such a flurry of business, but it is the fun kind of business. Christmas programs at church, plays at school, and caroling with friends. I've enjoyed all these things this year even though I don't have any children in the plays or church programs this year. My children are all grown up and are living in different parts of the state so I have found it to be just as joyful to watch the children who are in my life in my area of the state. You see the reason for all these activities is to celebrate the birth of Christ, and that is joyful weather you're with family or friends.
This Christmas is different in so many ways but mostly in my decorating, I've been busy painting and getting things ready for the shop that my home has sort of been neglected. Well, having said that, here are a few pictures of how Christmas has appeared at our home this year.
This little center piece , candle holder was made to go to the shop...but, I fell in love with it so it stays, I made another one similar to this but it is made from an old chicken feeder and I used small clay pots to hold the candles...I'll show pic of that next time.
This picture and hand & heart garland are on the door leading to our deck ...
and this is the window next to the door looking out on the deck.
This wreath is on the door leading to my craft/work room and those little mitten frames hold pictures of my six grand kids.
I've added the mittens that were my kids when they were little.
This little mitten holds a sprig of Holly berries and hangs on the side of my china cabinet...the white dish in the background really makes it pop.
Finally, this little angel hangs around the living room, and to be honest, she stays there most of the year...cause I like her there.
That's all for now...
So from my porch to yours...
Have a blessed week.
