It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

This Holiday season I wanted to get the decorating done early and get all the shopping done ASAP so I could really focus on serving others this month and in being grateful for the things I have instead of on presents and embellishments.  I am so blessed to have a beautiful place to live in and to have a wonderful provider that gives me the opportunity to relish in my hobbies and interests. 

A couple of years ago I participated in a ornament swap and it was one of the funnest things I have done.  I got some really sweet decor for my little tree. 

I made this tiny prim tree.  It's about 4 inches high is all.  

A wonderful friend made this arrangement for me.

This is Virginia.  I won her at a giveaway and she is so fabulous.  

Prim stalkings.  Another precious gift.

Grungy tea sacks with rusted bells and pins.  I made these one night with my girls.  

My antique tree.  All these bulbs belonged to my Grandmother.

Fireplace mantle in the family room.  The advent calendar is the girls' favorite thing we have.  The cute little snow globes were a gift to them by Cindy.  They love them.

Merry Christmas prim friends.  Be sure to be grateful in all things and to find ways to serve each other everyday.
