Who Is He?
Saturday, December 24th, 2011I saw this at Barbara’s tonight and wanted to share it with you. Who is He in yonder stall At Whose feet the shepherds fall? Who is He in deep distress, Fasting in the wilderness? Refrain: ’Tis the Lord! O wondrous story! ’Tis the Lord! the King of glory! At His feet we humbly fall, [...]
Tears At The Talent Show~Repost
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011Last Friday was a big day in our family. I knew that Lee’s parole officer was taking him in at least for the weekend and most likely for longer. I was tired and emotional and wished I could just ignore the day. It was one of my classic, “I’m so tired I’m about to shut [...]
Christmas Eve At The Prison~Repost
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011I went to visit Lee on Christmas Eve. The visiting room was decorated. A tree stood in the corner its lights twinkling brightly. A toy train chugged around the base,happily unaware of its location. The air was full of the sounds of people in a festive mood. Lots of loud talking, laughter, and smiles. There [...]
Rethinking The Christmas Story
Sunday, December 18th, 2011This year, I’ve heard multiple things that blew my mind in regard to the Nativity story! We never believed there were only 3 wise men. They traveled a very long way.

M-E-R-R-Y Swap
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011A few times over the years, I’ve participated in Carrie and Monica’s Sister swap. It’s pretty fun to think of things to send to someone else. I read their blog and send emails and try to make sure I can send things that they will enjoy. I was given Monica to swap with this time. [...]

On The Creative Front
Thursday, December 1st, 2011I saw this idea in a magazine. I happened to have a felted wool sweater in a pretty green. I cut off the sleeves and cut them open. I just used straight pins to pin it to a styrofoam wreath I already had in the closet. I swiped some red crystal beads from a [...]
