Snowflakes

I finally hung the last of my Christmas decorations! I've never decorated in the bathroom, and I'm not real certain what possessed me to do so this year..

Inspired by all the glittering goodies I received lately, I decided to try something new (for me). The canvases came in a 4 pack for $5.99 from Hobby Lobby. The snowflakes were at Michael's for $0.50 each. Then I splurged on the MS glittering glue and MS white fine glitter from Michael's. (All MS craft goodies were 30% off last week and this week.)

I'm pleased and they certainly added something to that stark white wall. Here's a shot with a snippet of the shower curtain that I chose not to change for the holidays.

Christmas Interupted

We interrupt this Christmas season to bring you...LIFE.

That's right, all the decorations, crafting, sewing and baking were put on hold when we had a few tough days. But all that's behind us and there'll be a few fun posts coming soon.

I love a good story...

Does your Christmas tree tell a story? Mine does.

It tells the story of...

Friendships...

new and...

old,

things hand-made with love by little hands...

and big...

and long ago.

It tells of Grandmas and Grandpas and the ever-present thermos of coffee and love...

and growing families...

and firsts, like the first time your child put her toes in the ocean.

It tells of favorite things...

like childhood books...

hometowns and toys...

and treasured pets.

And best of all, it tells of Christmas long, long ago.

I hope your heart fills with a story as your decorate your home for the holidays!
