Holly did this beautiful mermaid painting

last month. See the heart in the middle??

We made prints and used it for our

homemade Valentine's

This is hanging up in my kitchen.
I made it last year.

I painted this for Jesse after his

kitty, Felix had to be

put to sleep.

I wish chocolate blessings for

everyone this week!

Pink Saturday : Favorite Christmas Decor

For the past 8 years or so, I have been collecting

vintage Shiny Brite glass balls.

Our Christmas tree has become one of

my most favorite Christmas

decor pieces.

I have focused on more pink and robin's egg blue

and some silver.

**

The above photo was last years tree...

We decided it was the most beautiful tree

we have ever had.

We get a Forest Service permit and

head up the mountain to hike around

till we find "The One".

That is what we are doing

THIS Saturday, heehe!

**

This was a couple of years ago.

One of my other favorite things is
Me and Holly's matching
snowflake footie pj's.
I got her a woman's size small
and me a medium.
She was only in the third grade so she had to roll
the waistband up a lot the first few years.
Now we are about the same size
but she still fits in hers.



I actually wear mine pretty often
when it is cold, but she saves hers for
Christmas Eve.
She is so warm blooded they are too warm for
her to sleep in much.

Have a great week and make sure you
pop in to see Beverly for more

Memories of Christmas Past

This week for

PINK SATURDAY

We are supposed to share favorite

Christmas Memories

***

This was my second Christmas.

1964

I was born in the summer so I was only

four months old my first Christmas.

I was still the only grandchild

**

As you can see by looking at my Mom in the red

I wouldn't be the only grandchild for long!

This is my Grama
(My Mom's Mom)
She passed away about 15 years ago
I still miss her!



By the next Christmas I had
sweet baby sister
Sally


We lost our precious Sally to
leukemia in 1970 at age 6
But I know we will be together again
some day!
This is me with Santa.
As you can tell, the jolly old elf
wasn't scary to me!

Here is my freshly painted white hutch.

I have a few of my cheerful Annalee figures here.

***

Such a happy fellow!

I bought this apothecary jar this year.

I love how it looks full of glass balls!
***

I prefer Snowmen to Santa
This is one of my favorites!
***

More Annalee's on my banister.
A kitty at the bottom, two mice and
then another very happy elf!

Gotta have some red mittens
***

I finished making this finally...

It is a plate rack I bought at Goodwill

which I spray painted red.

Some plain large white letters

I got at Michael's and decoupaged some

of my favorite scrapbook paper on

and some Christmas greens.

I had the blue bird ornament handy

so I tucked him in there!

***

I hope this helps spread the

Christmas Spirit

around today!

**

I have actually not been blogging much

the past few weeks. I had a bunch

of projects to finish up and

actually got most of them done,

WhoooHoooo!

**

Now I can work on making

Christmas gifts etc..

Have a wonderful weekend and don't

forget to visit

Beverly for lots more

Pink Saturday posts to see!!

Pink Saturday~Work With Me Here...

I apologise...

I know I am stretching it here..

I am ready to put my fall decor away

but I had not posted any photos.

These are my new

Anna Lee fall mice....

Notice their sweet little

PINK

ears!!
One of my daycare littles decided punky

needed a treat. I cracked up when

I found the ice cream cone there like that!

This is actually a cornucopia.

See the pink in Mr. Turkey's tail?
These are vintage candles.
I was so tickled when I found them since
my Grama let me set her Thanksgiving table
with an identical miniature set of these
when I was a little girl.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Visit
Beverly at "How Sweet the Sound"
for lots more
Pink!

Must Be Close to Halloween!

Holly would like you to meet

SEAMUS

He asked for a cigar but we explained

that this is a non-smoking

establishment

He does look cool with a candle burning

inside of him though.....

It makes his face

GLOW!

Happy carving at

your house!
