"....God rest Me Merry, Please."








Ruth Bell Graham :
God rest You merry, gentlemen....."and in these pressured days I,too, would seek to be blessed by Him,who still conveys His merriment, along with rest.So I would beg,on tired knees,"God rest Me merry please......"   Partying with : Seasonal Sunday's found on My sidebar.

Proverbs 24:4


Many of Us are very familiar with Proverbs 24:3 but go on and read 4,since Were all enjoying Our home decorations.Very early this morning I found this and had to share it with all sister decorators,even though I really wasn't going to post again so soon......... "by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches." So go ahead and enjoy Your own home decor. You've done a great and wonderful thing.

Blessings to Us all.....Denise

A moment in time-My Coffeeberry Cottage.

One small moment in time.....
That's truly it.
When I was a young wife I would get so upset if Christmas Eve or Day did not go well in relationships.I never cared what happened to the recipes  or decor,I expected minor illness. Just whether everyone got along was   a huge issue to Me.For any young Mothers or Wives out there take Our advice (Us elders).It's only one day out of the whole year and only one year out of the rest of Your life. Things do get better,people do make-up.Keep Your eyes on Your relationship with Jesus.


Enjoy Your relationship with HIM.All else will change.
.
A couple changes for Me in later years.I go to My daughters houses on Christmas day now.I passed the baton to those four young healthy daughters of Mine. No more fireplaces,I now have My Christmas bright red fakie,and .........


Mrs Claus now Rules.Santa has been relegated to the porch.I know who the real Santa is and SHE is Mrs. Claus.







"Grammie,church is over,please can I take this dress off now?"

Yes!Seasons Greetings to all My fiends.Love Denise                                                                  Partying with Life On Lakeshore Drive and    Seasonal Sundays Tablescaper found on My sidebar.

Just One Dollar Please


Yes,I do prefer the Dollar Tree over any other dollar store,so I was happy to join in on..DebbieDoo's All things Dollar Tree Christmas  party challenge. I bought two glass candle sticks and two glass plates,used E-600 glue,let them dry a long time like overnight. 




I bought 6 of those fragile breezy snow flake ornaments and spread 3 out on each plate for My snow.





I bought two of those dull kind of ugly looking cottages.Oh so sorry,but I think true.
Painted each one with two coats of  acrylic white paint.

Then painted both with one coat of pearl white paint. While they were wet I sprinkled the bushes and greenery  on door with green sheer glitter.Lastly I sprinkled one with a little pale pink glitter, the other lavender glitter.

Photos a little fuzzy due to (My last post) but I put the cottages on top of the "snow" covered stands and...... there ya go.... with My FUN  Dollar Tree challenge. Merry Christmas : ) May God continue to bless each of You-Denise.

Pure Joy

Pure Joy
......but it's not pure joy trying to learn how to use this new notebook computer.We were  using Nikon's photoshop. We seem not to be able to use it now so  I'm trying to find an easy free photoshop that's fast for Me to use.What a mess I'm in now : /   I've been wanting to post Christmas crafts and decor but without a place to fix-up My photos,it will be delayed.Missing My old computer now.
Just in case I never figure this outMerry Christmas.
One of my favourite songs that makes me realise God’s always around. — Dancing with God, Verse 1: You dance over me While I am unaware, You sing all around But I never hear the sound, Chorus: Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You Lord, I’m amazed by You How You love me Verse 2: You paint the moring sky With miracles in mind, My hope will always stand, For You hold me in Your hand.
