FIRST I MUST APOLOGIZE. THIS IS IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT IS THE ONLY WAY THE KEYBOARD WILL WORK. LOVELY. :) 

NOW ONTO THE BLOG:

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

AND I LOVE DECORATING. 

ABOVE IS OUR WOOD BURNING STOVE--- AMAZING. BUT SINCE WE USE IT ALMOST DAILY I CANT DO TOO MUCH DECORATING SINCE IT GETS SUPPPER HOT.

THE STOCKINGS WERE MADE LAST YEAR :) 

AND THE WREATH I MADE LAST WEEKEND!

THE NATIVITY IS FROM HONDURAS

IM HOPING THE MASON JARS WITH GLASS ORNAMENTS WILL WORK OUT  ON THE 'MANTEL'/ STOVE PART. WE WILL SEE. IF NOT CANDLES WORK OUT WELL SINCE THEY MELT DURING WHEN WE HAVE A FIRE AND MAKE THE HOUSE SMELL YUMMY!

NOW ON TO THE FRONT PORCH...

IM KINDA LOVINGGGG THIS WREATH. 

1$ GLITTERY RIBBON. 

LEFTOVER RED & GREEN RIBBON SCRAPS

ORNAMENTS FROM... DOLLAR TREE!

WAAAALAH!

 

 AND FINALLY... PROBABLY MY FAVORITE ORNAMENT. 

RYAN GAVE IT TO ME THE CHRISTMAS AFTER WE WENT TO JAPAN--

ITS A CERAMIC CRANE- 

WHILE WE WERE IN JAPAN WE MADE PAPER ORAGAMI CRANES THAT SYMBOLIZE PEACE- AND WE HUNG THEM IN THE PEACE MEMORIAL IN HIROSHIMA. 

IT WAS A REALLY AMAZING MOMENT IN MY LIFE- AND I LOVE THIS REMINDER OF PEACE. 

IF YOU ARE AROUND MY HOME THIS WEEKEND- FEEL FREE TO STOP BY ON SUNDAY ANYTIME FROM 2:00-5:00

WE ARE HAVING A CHRISTMAS OPEN HOUSE AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU!

LOVE & PEACE TO YOU ALL
