Creating Christmas...

This time of year makes everyone creative...

wouldn't you say? Whether it is just decorating your 

Christmas tree or constructing an entire theme for your

home's decorations...it seems that EVERYONE

is creating something...

And so it is...with me.

I was visiting some of my favorite blogs yesterday ...

catching up actually...and I was enthralled in the annual

Holiday House Walk Tours HERE and HERE.

So much INSPIRATION!!!!

For example...

I have had the mirror below for many years and

I have never wanted to change it as it seems

to brighten up any room I have ever placed it in..

But this year for Christmas, I decided to print off some of my favorite

Christmas Carols and "frame" them... 

Now, I may not want to take it down

after the holidays!

NEXT....

One of my favorite Christmas movie quotes...

You guessed it...from It's A Wonderful Life...

I was so inspired by THIS yesterday, I couldn't 

wait to get home and start on it!!!

I just used some more of that bead board that I had

left over from our kitchen remodel...

(and no...I don't throw away ANY scraps!!!)

printed out the quote, trimmed them up and placed 

them on my boards...

I should have it finished but, I needed some supplies

that I don't usually buy...I guess that's what happens

when you spontaneously create!

But I WILL FINISH IT TONIGHT!

Then...there were these...

I came across this little Christmas Village HERE

Again, this was such a quick 

and easy project that I couldn't resist.

I haven't decided if it will stay here or

go in my dining room window...

Besides,

I still have lights to put up on that mantle 

along with some other items 

however I couldn't wait to see what it would look like...

I think I will LOVE it when I "glitter" it up...as my friend Patty 

mentioned to me last night when she was previewing 

these projects...

She thinks she is sooooo smart.

Ok. She might actually be...SMART, that is...

And Finally...

Look at that beautiful dimple...and I think he is smiling...

An update about my sweet daughter and our grandson...

We are hopeful to say that he will be delivered this Monday!

We are so excited and no matter what the outcome is with his 

health issues, we are eager to welcome him into the family

with hugs and kisses...

Thank you for all your prayers and wonderful emails of support...

We have coveted them and appreciated every last one of them!

We know God is with us and we are able to praise Him 

no matter what the outcome!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Now...

 GO CREATE!!!!
