One Dollar Please 2015-Christmas Craft.

 This Year I started Christmas crafting the beginning of Nov. I did this one craft just for  DebbieDoos Dollar Store Christmas Party. I believe this is My 3rd Year participating and it's a lot of fun.Fun to browse through all the dollar crafts the other ladies are making, even more fun in planning out Your own make-over craft from any dollar store.I saw this White  ornament bell with a few sprigs of greenery,two tiny pinecones,little ribbon but with tons of hot gun glue showing and done sloppily.I just knew I would have fun remaking it to suit Me. Can You see the globs of hot glue?They left the back just that way-strange I thought.
   Covering the glob of glue,I stated with a few more tiny pinecones,then put a small twig wreath and red bird. Adding the rest of the pretties after. 








(Excuse the toy boxes in the background.) We do play with toys in this room too.

                                                                                                                                                                                     
I'm hoping You can have some fun too in preparing Your home and especially Your heart for Christmas. Enjoy the blessings of this Holy Season. Hugs Denise

Black and White Check, Red Toile Christmas ideas.

 Many of You might have seen these patterns in Pottery Barn stores or catalogs.These combos I have always decorated with, just not yet as My Christmas theme.This Year I am planning red toile and black and white check. A few of these I have already purchased from Pottery Barn.I'm also checking out other stores with these patterns and color combos.

I really like how many of these include reindeer. Just adds to My woodsy tree I'm collecting for this Year.


                     
My Bedroom decked out for Christmas with My new goodies.


It all started when I saw a kitchen collection of this red toile holiday scene at Tuesday Morning's.I bought 5 oven mitts,one for each daughter and one for Me.I bet the pattern went fast.
                                 
This tablecloth is the pattern from Pottery Barn but the tablecloth at Tuesday Morning's looked very similar.

Pretty table setting from Pinterest that would look good with My collection.

Dear Lord-I know these things are not important in Your eyes. I'm glad though that You allow and encourage Us to occupy Our time until You come and that You give each of Us an imagination.I've enjoyed My fun musings. Thank You, Amen.           May We all experience the Peace and Joy this Thanksgiving and Christmas  that only Christ can give. Hugs Denise                                                   PS I love to have Tea with Santa and other Tea friends so I'm linking up with Sandi's party over at Her blog...Rose Chintz Cottage.
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.
