SNOWLADY'S TINY CHRISTMAS BOOKS

The Snowlady would like to invite you to see her Tiny Little Christmas Books!!!

These are really handy when she needs to find a special Christmas recipe and receive "inspiration" for some project. 

Snowlady has been baking up a storm with this Christmas Cookies Cookbook.  She is getting ready for 2 special grandkids - Pete and Lily who will be arriving for Christmas!

The Snowlady and I  wish

 you a Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS DECORATING TIME

Welcome to the Holidays and time for decorating,

baking, serving tea and all sorts of wonderful things....

For us Christmas is all about

the celebration of the birth

of Jesus.

Luke 2:VS 8-9  And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 

VS 10-11  And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for behold I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

I would love to just stay home today and do some baking, however, I own a shop - so this is a very busy time of the year.  I so look forward to retirement when I can be a homemaker again.  I love to sew and have so many projects running around in my brain.

I hope all my blogging friends have a wonderful holiday season, take time for tea and family and friends.

FRESH GREENERY TO DECORATE

This year I decided to keep things simple and really inexpensive.....by using local fresh greenery, pine cones and found items!  I have an old sled I pulled out from the garage, old ice skates and did some simple floral work....

Out in the greenbelt behind my house I had noticed some different evergreens and trimmed some branches off the bottoms being careful to not do any "ugly" trimming.

Metal frames for greenery wreaths only cost a couple dollars (mine was 99 cents) or less....

Store bought greenery wreaths are expensive - but inexpensive to make.  You need wire and I recommend using baling wire as it is very pliable but very strong.  I even used it for the pine cones. You can buy a large coil of it  at Home Depot.

The greenery I found on my early walk was added to Colorado Spruce from my backyard, California Pinecones from my shop and some dried hydrangeas my sister in law had given me from her home in Des Moines, Iowa almost 2 years ago.

I had also inserted pepperberries in the florals....

ANGELS ON THE BUFFET

Doesn't it thrill your heart to have fresh

flowers in your home.  I really love them.

This mirror was a gift from

 my Mother In Law.

I love the softer colors of

these angels too.
