It was fun to put together. I can remember how old this tree is because I put my youngest son's baby picture in a frame ornament, that first year that I decorated it. He is 14 now...
Most items came from my 20 years of working at Hobby Lobby... including the tree itself. Even though it's full, I still look around every year for a blue snowman ornament to add to it. Most years I don't find anything but every once in awhile I am surprised =] The white SNOW word ornament was found at Dollar General last year.
It looks so pretty at the bottom of the stairwell. I just love how it lights up that corner of our entryway. Of course, having my husband's Grandma's mirror to reflect the lights really makes it pretty.
We didn't get our snow last weekend. Well it covered the ground then disappeared as fast as it came. That's okay, I'm ready to move on to my favorite season.... can't wait for Spring to arrive!! But in the meantime, I'll just enjoy my little winter tree until I get tired of seeing snowmen, hehehe~
Stay warm and dry wherever you are. I hope you are having a wonderful start to the new year. I am so enjoying blogland again... it's great to be back. =]
Hi Angie! Yes, I remember you! I'm so glad a few people are getting back into blogging. I do miss it so! I am hoping Danice, Michelle, and I can help to promote a rebirth of blogging!
ReplyDeleteI think we all go through phases, and I am moving away from primitives as well. I still keep some of my favorite things, but am wanting to refresh things a bit....think I am a vintage, farmhouse, colonial type of gal - is that a thing? LOL. Looking forward to catching up with your blog. Blessings!
I agree... I hope others miss blogging as much as us and come back. I also agree with you all about facebook. I am not there much anymore because it depresses me too much. Ugh!
DeleteI do believe that is a style or can be anyway. Your style is whatever you make it and name it, lol! I lovingly refer to my style as prairie vintage cottage, hahaha!
I'm so glad you remember me! Thanks for coming by. Have a delightful weekend~
So pretty! I love the snowmen and the blue. Blue reminds me of winter so much.
ReplyDeleteThank you Danice! Same for me with blue and winter... they seem to go hand and hand. Stay warm this weekend~
DeleteLet me share this on your lovely blog, A neighbor of mine developed dementia & diabetes, then her husband died, no children or family nearby. I am thankful our closest neighbor, an African American woman, introduced Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, A traditional herbal doctor in which we purchased a herbal product for her through his Dr Itua online herbs store. A former social worker stepped in and led the way to place the widow in a care facility. We visit nearly every week until she finishes drinking Dr Itua herbal medicines, if possible. The two of us take simple games, puzzles, and matching cards to do with her, staying about 2 hours. Jenga, Trouble, puzzles 100pcs or less, 20 cards to match (total-not 40!). The fishing game where the fish open and shut their mouths as they go around is lots of fun! We sit and chat with her until she gets well again, then we pull out a game and the three of us laugh together as we play. We take a variety of things to do so that we won't get bored. She finished Dr Itua herbal medicines and she's fine now and doing better with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicines, Dr Itua cures different illnesses with his herbal medicines. Anyone having a sick person should reach Dr Itua email drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Dr Itua Cure Alzheimer's,Cancer,Parkinson,Hiv,Herpes,Hpv,Kidney disease,Diabetes,Hepatitis, We hug and hold hands a lot. Having two of us go together really helps. But I can go alone, my neighbor cannot, as she saw so much of this during her years as a social worker. I hope this specific list helps others in this situation.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
