Oh Holy Night

I love so many Christmas songs, but this one is my favorite.

I have sweet memories of hearing my Mother sing "Oh Holy Night" in church many times.

I hope you enjoy hearing the Celtic Woman singing this beautiful song.

Wishing you a blessed Sunday . . .

My Wish

This song seems appropriate for today . . .

Chalk It Up

Chalk board decor is all the rage.

There are lots of ideas on Pinterest for chalkboard messages & printables.

Here is the newest idea I pinned.

Dollar Tree Tray DIY

I did a chalkboard project similar to this one a few months ago with a garage sale find.

Several years ago I bought a vinyl wall repositional chalkboard at TJMax.

I use liquid chalk markers to write messages because regular chalk does work on the vinyl surface.

Yesterday, I recreated this Christmas message from Pinterest.

Counting down the days to Christmas!

Have a fabulous Friday!

Music Room Christmas Bling

I couldn't resist adding some Christmas bling to the wall collection in the music room.

Thanks so much for visiting today!

I hope you're enjoying the Christmas season!

Merry Christmas Mantel

I changed the look of our mantel for Christmas 2012.

Here's the 2011 mantel.  I usually decorate with the same thing on both ends.

I'm waiting until Christmas Eve to hang the stockings.

Giant Santa

Meet our 8 foot Santa.

When I saw this inflatable Santa in the Big Lots weekly flyer I knew we had to buy one for our front yard.

So, if you're in our neck of the woods come by & have your picture taken with our giant Santa.

Have you written your letter to Santa?
Do you know who's singing this song?

Christmas PJs

The grandkids looked so cute in their PJs last night.

It was the perfect photo op in front of our Christmas tree.

Oh, Come, Let Us Adore Him

Oh, come, all ye faithful, 

Joyful and triumphant!

Oh, come ye, oh, come ye to Bethlehem;

Come and behold him

Born the king of angels:

Oh, come, let us adore him, 

Oh, come, let us adore him,

Oh, come, let us adore him,

Christ the Lord.

 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, 

the shepherds said to one another,

 "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened,

 which the Lord has told us about."

Luke 2:15

Wishing you a Sunday filled with peace . . . 

Some Of My Favorites

I think my favorite Christmas movie is "White Christmas".

I love musicals.  As you know the songs in this show are great.

Another favorite . . . 

And who could forget this classic . . . 

Here's my vignette of the flag pole scene from

 "A Christmas Story".

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

Misty Cloudy Day

Looks are deceiving . . . 

When I look out my windows today it looks cold.  It's foggy & cloudy.

It's not cold, it's humid.

The weather is getting ready to change over the weekend.

Cold will settle in on Sunday.

I'm ready for cold weather.  It puts me in a Christmas mood.

Here's a litttle Michael Buble song to help celebrate the season.

 A few Christmasy touches around the house.

Hope today is the start of a wonderful weekend for you!

Christmas Decorating

I haven't much been in the mood for decorating, but we're moving forward.

Here's Hubby replacing light bulbs on one of our trees.

How do you like his flashlight?

He replaced over 125 bulbs.

I think it would have been easier to add a new string of lights!

Santa is cheering us up with his happy face.

A Pinterest idea jar project with Epsom salt & battery candle.

One of the dining room trees.

Our 2 big trees are still naked.

Maybe a few of Santa's elves will decorate them tonight while we're sleeping.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
