Blessed with Christmas Mood
Hi everyone....
Hoping you are all having a great
evening.
The fur babes and I are just
sitting here in the living room, lights off,
Christmas movie on the Hallmark
station. I love just looking at the
tree and enjoying the lights and
ornaments that I have collected
over the years.
Wow....look, it looks like Santa
has been here already!
All wrapped...
except one for my friend Debbie...
I had it in the kitchen for days,
picked it up last night and set it
somewhere, problem is, I am not
sure where somewhere is!
haha...
I will look tomorrow.
I still have to put Theresa's together.
Will get to that tomorrow.
Still have decorations to finish and
tomorrow I will also get my
card printed ...
then to address and put in the mail.
Speaking of Christmas cards let me
show you
year 11 of my painted
Christmas cards.
Another fav of mine.
Yesterday I was picking things up
and moving things around....
and picked up two of my
Lowe's yard sticks.
I had bought several for
crafting projects.
Then for some reason a thought
hit me....
a star!
I have wanted a large one
to hang outside of the house
for years but just never
thought much on making it.
I stopped at Lowes today and picked
up 3 more yard sticks.
With them and my electric staple
gun this is what I put
together in less than 5 minutes.
In the cold I went out to spray
paint my new star.
I went with red cause my
door is red.
I am going to hang it between
the window and front door after
I wrap it in white lights.
Here it is painted.
I would love to hang it between the
two windows up stairs...BUT
I don't own a ladder and I don't
have nerve enough to climb it
anyway....FEAR of falling.
Although, me son and I went
out the window above the porch
several times and just sat on the
roof of the porch....
I would get out there and
then I would not MOVE!
FEAR!
So....do my friends know me or
what???
Theresa "T"
gave me this today!
My first Wizard of
Oz ornament!
I love it.
Before ending this rambling blog post
I wanted to comment on this..
I blogged about this road side find
a few days ago.....
I love it but it really don't
fit the style or look of my
home but it hit me today
that the newly redone guest
room at my brothers had the most
beautiful comforter on the bed, and
this seat matched it so well.
Asked Lori if she wanted, so
I took it out there today.
Sorry, left phone in the car so
I have no pic.
But this seat was rehomed to
a perfect place.
Please keep me in your thoughts....
having rough night.
Burning pain within my
bod right now. With fibro there
are a lot of things that go along
with this mess....the burning
pain is one.
Deep down pain is another one.
But with the burning pain of
the nerves brings on crawling
skin. I have had to break down and
take something for this pain which
is something I do my best to not do...
but it is helping with the burn and
the itch.
I have way to much to do to
let this get hold of me right now.
Thanks for stopping in,

Praying for pain free days ahead for you
I so hope you're feeling better. ~hugs~ I wish we could stomp out your pain.
I absolutely love this post, though. It's Christmas at your house and everything looks beautiful.
The star? Only you would think to make it, and I LOVE it! :)
xoxo
the star is an amazing idea and your home looks beautiful!!
i like the way you wrapped your presents - i always use different paper on all my packages, always gold and red. but i like the look of everyone being the same too!!!
i hope you are feeling better, nerve pain, i know it well!!

Your home looks so festive and beautifully decorated. All the presents, already wrapped! Needless to say I have many to wrap.
Your star is lovely. Your creativeness is never ending. ♥
Love the star. I, too, have a fear of falling. You can't get me on a ladder. Perhaps you can bribe one of your friends to hang it for you.
