Fall Decor

Even in Florida - fall is here.  We have a little color and nice cool weather.  And I can still enjoy the beach!!!  Love it!  Thank you, God, for such wonderful pleasures of this life.

Just a splash of color leaves.  Is the old pitcher gorgeous?  It belongs to my friend, Debbie Lanning.  When she was moving it was in her "not taking with me" pile.  I figure I can use it until she decidess she wants it back - then she has to come get it!!!!!  grin

Hank made me the candle box out of an old pallet.  I love it.  Sometimes I put  little sprigs of berries in it.


Again, just adding some leaves and pinecones and small handmade wreaths.  

I added some fall flowers to a pottery vase Mark made in school last year. 
 Love the teal color with the fall flowers!
On my buffet is a plate I found at a Bible Book store years ago, the strainer my grandmother used to make applesauce with, and more leaves!

So, I am happy with the touch of fall in our home.  Soon I will bring out the pumpkins and gourds!  Fun and beautiful season!

Hope you all are enjoying this season.  Take time to reflect on our blessings from our Father above who loves us!

From Twigs to Trees!

OK, girlfriends, I'm ready to show you what I have been working on for weeks and weeks.  I told you I was working on something for two special people - it is done!  Let me tell you who, what, when, where, and why.  For as long as I can remember I have given my girls a "Happy December" present.  I just love the Christmas season so much that I am ready to begin the celebration.  So on December 1 I would have a gift for my kids.  They might come home from school and find a Christmas shirt on their bed or I would present them with Christmas socks or a Christmas trinket, maybe cookie cutters or sticker book.  Just something.   For fun!  This year I made: Grapevine Christmas trees!!!!  I had lots of help!  My sister, Nancy, Mark, and Hank all helped me gather the vines.  Poor Hank got poison twice from helping me find vines!  Then I wrapped the vines around a tomato cage using the vines and thin wire. ...

One Month To Live

Have you ever focused on life on those terms.....one month, 30 days, and it is over?  There is a book by Kerry and Chris Shook entitled just that.  "One Month To Live."  If you consider, contemplate, study this aspect of life in an honest for real way - you just might begin to walk a little differently. This past Sunday, my husband introduced this thought of what would we do if we knew we only had one month to live.  He passed out 3 X 5 cards and asked everyone to write what they would do.  I will tell you the expanded version of what I wrote. 1.  I would like to spend time with my family (bonus: at the beach) so I could enjoy the love and laughter and fun we always share.  I would want time with my kids so I could tell them how awesome they are, how proud they make me feel because of their heart they each have for God, because of the love they share with one another, and because of the way I see them care for those around them.   I love to see...
