CHRISTMAS HAPPINESS...

Just a little Christmas happiness...

NOTHING IS SAFE....IF YOUR IN THIS HOUSE...YOU WILL BE "CHRISTMASIZED"...

My birdhouse needed a little Christmasizing... found this at Home Goods...Red roof and nothing else going on...Pretty basic.

Some glittery holly and a pink pearl earring all tied together with some dreamy ribbon...

painted the red roof the palest pink and glittered it up!....

filled the holes with nesting material...and a pretty blue egg...

Now... That's better...Tis the Season!, xoxo~Kathy...

THE TURKEY HAS SETTLED AND WE'RE HEADING FOR CHRISTMAS...

Yes...It's snowing ...these two little ones are on a christmas card...how cute... Our Backporch this A.M......

Backyard... big flakes falling...

Good day to stay in and bake a little apple tart....

A little shopping with the Grandaughters this morning...a little baking this afternoon...a little popcorn and movies this evening...A GOOD DAY!!!... Hope your turkeys all settled and your heading for CHRISTMAS... xoxo~Kathy

ROWENA J. EULER (SMITH)...A TEACHER OF INFLUENCE...

In keeping with the Thanksgiving spirit...I should like to introduce to you Rowena J. Euler ( Smith)...My daughter-in-laws Precious grandmother who passed into Glory last week. Rowena was 98 years young and probably one of the most amazing Prayer Warriors I have had the pleasure of meeting. This photo was at her funeral....I fell in love with it...requested a copy...Thank You Jim and Beth for your promptness. Photo was taken around 1935-36 , in a one room schoolhouse in Sanilac County, Mi. This woman was a treasure...Thank You Rowena for leaving your family and all you've touched in your long life a legacy rich and saturated with Jesus...
Of course I had to preserve her in this Mixed Media Art...Although she was not a woman of Jewelry...I hope she doesn't mind my taking some artistic license...

as you can see from the photo this is not her little red school house...More artistic license...

I wonder if anyone of these little ones still with us would recognize themselves...It's possible! What a wonderful woman, wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and Christian...

We'll be missing you "GRAMMY GREAT"...as our Grands called her! I'm sure you've already heard the preciouse words..."Welcome home, My good and faithful servant"...see you soon, xoxo~Kathy.

WELCOME LITTLE TREE....BEEN WAITING A YEAR TO BRING YOU TO LIFE...

Found this wonderful tree last year after Christmas on E-Bay....Have been waiting all year to take it out of the box and bring it to life......

Placed it in a painted polka dot wooden bowl and filled the bowl with white lights, extra crystal and white ornaments and such...

There are flecks of fiber optics on the branches that pick up the light in the evening...very sweet little tree...

I've been collecting pastel ornaments all year for this new tree... Garage sales, Good will and where ever I spotted some I liked...

Love Sparkle......

GLASS....you know I enjoy glass...

and pinks of any shade...

NOPE!!!! not my tree...this was in a storefront window in Holland Michigan...I couldn't resist shooting it. Everything but the kitchen sink attached and then wrapped in lights!!!...

and sprayed GREEN...pretty creative!!!! also pretty scary...see the computer !!!!

However your tree comes...have a sweet time decorating and leaving your mark on it, xoxo~Kathy.

WHITE BELLS...WHITE DOVE...AND SANTA...THANK'S CANDACE.!!!

White snowy Christmas bells....A gift from my friend Candace...Repurposed to go with our decor...I love how they turned out! Wish I would have remembered to take a "Before" photo

To much of a hurry to get the old greenery off and play with the new embellishments...

Decided to hang them over this Santa and Dove.... THIS WAS A FUN PROJECT!

St. Nick has such a sweet face.....and toasty mittens...

Merry Christmas Decorating!!!! HOPE YOUR HAVING FUN, xoxo~Kathy...
