My friend Nat is going to Cancun for Thanksgiving so she already put up her tree...and I started thinking about the colors and the deco's and that her tree is
A L R E A D Y up
and man oh man.......
and not the shopping, spend lots o' money,
fight the crowds, crazy shoppers bug,
but the
peaceful snowflakes, christmas trees,
colorful stars
on a string kind of bug.....
I went to Taipan and Rodworks and found these
colorful stringed stars for the mantle,
the crystal-lined white snowflakes,
the red shimmery beads spray,
and the red and green sparkly christmas trees
all for a steal!
I just set them out today...not real decorating...but getting oh so ready!
Need some happy joy around here.....
(Do you like my stars on my Thanksgiving mantle?? )
(Do you like my stars on my Thanksgiving mantle?? )
AND with Gratitude season I want to thank everyone
for all your LOVE and SUPPORT for my sis....
I have received many phone calls and emails concerned for her....
it means so much to me (and to her!)
Thank you and loves to you ALL!

Thanks Nat! You have been so sweet in all this craziness!
And you are leaving the snow for Cancun! ohh that blue water, the hot sun, and the soft sand! Such a lucky girl...you will love it.
We will miss ya back here in the states...we will eat turkey and decorate and you will be laying out and playing in the sun! Thx again for all the love...you are such a good friend! xo
I have not had the bug for over 3 years. I had to stifle it for a good cause. The weird thing is, what i missed the most as a missionary was not feelilng a part of and a connection with everyone else and that is mostly through going to Christmas events and through Shopping. When i gave up those two things, Christmas was quite remote. I know that doesn't sound very mature or spiritual but i am looking forward to this year and doing those things again!! Thanks for reminding me.
