The Quiet After Christmas...still enjoying...

December 25th has come and gone.  

Now it's time to put away the "list"...

...and enjoy "THE Gift" that lasts forever.

For God so loved the world,  that He gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:16

Wishing you quiet moments and continued JOY.

My family celebrates over New Years...so I keep the decorations up and twinkling so I stay in the "Spirit"...and enjoy them a just a little bit longer...

PEACE and LOVE to you, 

At Christmas...seeing beauty in unexpected places...

Merry Christmas dear friends...may you continue to see beauty in unexpected places.

Like a manger...in a stable.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be on his shoulder: and he shall be called Wonderful Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

God bless, 

A Little Christmas "Twinkle" Outside...stars, junk and lights...

We live in a "Winter Wonderland".

(I took this picture with my phone after a extra fluffy snowfall.)

Here's a little peek at our outdoor decor.  I know it's hard to see under all that white stuff...but it sure does make it look pretty doesn't it?

Those white metal pieces are some kind of an industrial fan cover.

That big freestanding wreath is actually a fire wood ring covered in greens and lights.

And the metal star form hanging on the timbers is actually the welded form my husband used to cut the galvanized stars I showed you by my FIREPLACE...

He made big ones...

  

...and little ones.

Moving up to the porch...more stars...

...and lights.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Chat Soon,

Ready for Santa...a mini faux fire place...

I've had this old broken clock for a while now.

With all the faux fireplaces out there this year, I decided it was time for a little fun with this one.

I just drew a "fire" with chalk on to black construction paper and used glue dots to attach it.  

(Sorry, I can draw as well as I sing...not good!)

A little star garland...more fun.

There we go...mini fire place ready for mini Santa.

With Christmas less than a week away...I hope you are taking time to ENJOY the "little" details :)

The Spring Tree...my version...

I've seen so many cute version of the spring tree...that I hesitated to show you mine.  But since I'm on a tree "kick", I decided...why not?

Pretty basic...a pot flipped upside down with a spring on top.

I started with just a star and a tag.

Then I added a few ornaments for fun.

Or maybe without the tag...whatever makes you happy.

My kids like them with the ornaments...

...but I think I like them plain.

How about you?

Nativity Silhouette...ice chest Christmas vignette...

The other day I shared our RUSTIC "TREE" CHRISTMAS MANTEL.

The other place I enjoy giving an "extra" touch is the the top of the antique ice chest.

This year, I used a vintage wood nativity silhouette from the thrift store...painted white.

The "chalkboard" stable is actually the top of a child sized table.  It hasn't seen its legs in months.

The atlas was from the .15 cent bin at the Goodwill.

My favorite rustic aqua box...from HomeGoods a while back.

And lots of glass and little trees...of course.

I think I'm finally ready to pack up the decorating piles and move on to the gifts and wrapping here.  But I still have more to show you.  Are you sick of me yet?

Vintage Sprinkler "Tree"...

You might recognize this blue vintage sprinkler...

I shared it with you this Fall.

Now it holds greens and ornaments...instead of apples.

And a star of course.

This white light fixture makes a nice "stand".

Nothing is safe from "tree like" decorating at my house.

Chat soon,

Stacked Faucet Knob Mini Tree...

What does this look like to you?

Another tree?

Me too :)

I just stacked them up biggest to smallest.

Little bell on the top...attached with a little "Amazing Goop" glue.

A book page star and a pretty little button...of course.

Another little junk tree to add to my collection.
