PREPARING FOR THE HOLIDAYS...

and I'm sure you are too...Enjoy your day!
Kathy...

MY MOST RECENT RE-DO...OH MY!

I'm in LOVE...again.

She was $4.99 @ the GW....all dark and battered up.
Her seat was abused and mistreated...her legs all scratched marked .
I instantly believed in her...
She had the bones, great lines and potential.
I invested the time in her...
We are best friends now...
come sit a spell...
Kathy.

MORE IS BETTER...

More is better...

 so we keep making these very chic, shabby trees.

 I have begun a new series of bottlebrush trees...

 that I'll share on my next post...we tied little bells on the rafia...querky, I like that.

 this is my friend Jennifers tree... in the front.

 and Happy Jennifer with her creation...Yeah, we had fun!

tomorrow I'll show you my very "French"looking bottlebrush trees....
keep your hands busy now...
xo, Kathy.

ANOTHER SHABBY TREE...

THE TREE OBSESSION...

 CONTINUES...

 THERE'S A THERAPUTIC QUALITY TO MAKING THESE...

 THE CARDSTOCK TREES ARE VERY EASY...MOSTLY MEASURING AND CUTTING...SATISFYING.  (Directions on previous posts.)

THIS WINTER WILL BE REMEMBERED AS THE "YEAR OF THE TREES"..

AND I'M NOT SEEING AN END IN SIGHT ANY TIME SOON...STAY TUNED.
and go get your "craft on".
xo, Kathy.

STARTING TO PREPARE...

STARTING TO PREPARE

 FOR CHRISTMAS...

"I KNOW...I KNOW", IT'S IN MY NATURE TO BE EARLY THOUGH...ON TIME...PREPARED!

 BESIDES...I L.O.V.E. DOING THIS KIND OF THING.
I THINK IT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE I'M IN CONTROL...AHEAD OF THE GAME...PUTTING ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER...MAKING PROGRESS...

SO THERE!...ALL THE LITTLE GIFT TAGS ARE DONE.
I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU I'VE ALREADY WRAPPED MOST OF THE GIFTS...
BUT THAT WOULD SOUND A LITTLE TOO PREPARED...SO I WON'T.

LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR...CAN IT EVER BE TOO EARLY?
XO, KATHY AND THE CHEF...

PRAY...

"If my people,
who are called by my name,
will humble themselves and PRAY
and SEEK my face
and TURN from their Wicked ways,
then will I hear from heaven
and forgive their SIN
and will HEAL their LAND."

                                   JESUS...

AMEN.

PARIS...

I want to travel to paris...the city of light.

 and take my camera...for remembering...

 and wear pretty things while there...

and forget about time...

 it's # 1...on my bucket list.

soon, I hope.
what's numero uno on your list?
xo, Kathy.

Etched numbers...

We all have gone a little crazy over anything numbered these days...

 saying that...Imagine my surprise when I spotted these gorgeous glasses @ the Goodwill...numbered

my lucky day...I guess.
Thank You to whomever decided to "recycle" these... I'll enjoy them for a while and recycle them myself one day for someone else to enjoy.
Gotta love the GW.
Hugs, Kathy and the Chef.
