I hope he brings you something good too !
And I am praying for peace and comfort for all those affected by Fridays terrible events.
I find it hard to get those children out of my mind . God please be with those families !
May God bless you my blog friends and bring you peace.
Merry Christmas !

Christmas Outside


Since I live in the Ozarks I thought it would be funny this last summer to put an old washing machine on my front porch to go along with the old wash tubs I already had there. They did look cute filled with flowers last summer.
Hmmm… What would Li’l Abner do ?
Why he would fill them with greenery , and small trees , and lights , and dried Hydrangeas …
 Wouldn’t he ?

Merry Christmas !

Ornaments For The Kids

Every year I make a hand made ornament for my grand-kids and my great nieces and nephews. After about 16 years it’s getting hard to come up with something different .
So I perused Pinterest and found this…

It’s from the Mamie Jane’s blog , she used some leftover pieces of yard stick that she used for another project , and some Scrabble tiles. So I thought “ There you go ! I’ve got the components for that !”
I made one for each child with their name on it , and a few extra with Noel on them . Then I got in a big hurry to get them packaged up for mailing and forgot to take pictures of them all . I made 13 in all .
Here are what I had left that weren’t packaged when I remembered to take pictures .

I love how they turned out and I hope all the kido’s like them.
