21 days



More wreathes!
I need more... I need more!


I've sorta' put a different twist to an
old idea.
The panels on my little cabinet can be removed 
so
I slid them out and covered with some
stenciled aluminum foil.
I tried going through some paper I already had but nothing suited me so 
try this..try that..
I just used a very light hand and spray painted the aluminum foil.
I slid my spider plants underneath the cabinet.
All my plants from the porch were moved to the front room where we put our big tree up at;
I've been racking my brain where I was going with them all. 
Here's a start.




More ground cedar along with a few other Christmasy stuff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

There wasn't too much to this one.
Old Chicken Wire rolled into a Christmas Tree shape.
More spray paint.
A simple bow.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~




I like to pull this little Vintage Box/Purse at
Christmas.
I picked this up at my favorite place to shop
Larry's Variety.

When we opened it up at the register 
it contained  some 
 old ornaments;
Larry said," Awh..just take 'em."




So far, I've never taken them out; I just open the box at Christmas time.

I thank you so much if you've stopped by for a visit.
Merry Christmas!

22 days

Oh my..my Christmas Countdown is getting confusing.
Yesterday, I started my countdown at 23 days,
just now I heard the announcer on the radio say,
"It's 22 days until Christmas.
I  have gone to the calendar and counted.

Note..I was a blonde child.


Well... getting my Christmas on.....
1. I've been getting my funky junk style on the move.
one old chippy board
+
one old window sheer
+
Yes..an old wheel
+


Add some greenery , 
old chipped ornaments
and
candles







Voila!!

2. Make a couple of wreathes from ground cedar.

The above link will take you to an old post about finding 
ground cedar & making wreathes.

3. I went through the old junk drawer to find some old canning rings and lids.



I had some that I was looking for the rusty ones I had painted.


I poured some  liguid potpourri into a small glass candle holder,
wrapped some cedar around those
and
added a small pine cone to carry the fragrance.



I snugged those all around the house.

4. I found an old broke lantern behind the building; 
 You know it..just keep adding...add a little more.


Putting some red berries
a pine cone.









5. Last but not least, I snugged  primitive Santa on the steps.

That's it! 
I'm done for this day.
Where's my cup of coffee!

BE BLESSED!

Christmas Countdown


I am on the Christmas countdown folks.
1. Put away pumpkin, scarecrows & Jack-o-lanterns.
2. Change out curtains.

3. Hang at least one small wreathe.

4. Exchange Fall Garden Flag for Christmas Flag.

There's a damp nip to the air 
&
the sky has been gray all day.
I think I'm heading in for a cup O' coffee.

I think I'll mark this one off the calendar.
As always 
BE BLESSED!

Blue..Blue..Blue~Monday Music Moves Me

What else could our theme be for the month 
but 
Christmas!

I'll have a Blue Christmas without you...
I'll be so blue...
          

Let it snow....
           
Awh...Ya'll know I love the snow!!
but...
I could love a Blue Bayou, too.
                          

Wow!!..not feelin' so blue anymore...

           

Oh yeah...things are gettin' much better...

            


             

Gritty....
