I Will Honour Christmas In My Heart

I will honour Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.
I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.
The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me.
I will not shut out the lessons that they teach!

I AM GETTING READY FOR CHRISTMAS!!!

Let the Christmas decorating begin!!

I have told you before that I have the entire upstairs decorated for Christmas already and have 6 trees in some manner, shape and size up there.

I am off now for a week and will be starting the outside and the downstairs.

I have been making new bows to change up greenery swags in my Living Room a bit.....

And new ones for some things in the Kitchen.....


Been checking out the Dollar Store and look at these place
mats I found!!
Perfect for my Kitchen.....

And here I am in one of my Christmas sweaters getting ready to leave the house to go to the Trans Siberian Orchestra Concert on Friday!!!



If you are going to see TSO in concert this season, You will not be disappointed!! Their Winter Tour for 2011-2012 kicked off yesterday in Wilkes Barre and we were treated with a special guest appearance of Paul O'Neil, TSO's founder, composer, producer and lyricist!!

He performed on stage for several songs with the band and introduced a song that has never been performed LIVE before. He was also at the controls of the lighting and sound and lazers and then walked through the Arena signing autographs and then threw some of his famous leather jackets into the audience!!

I have gone to see TSO about 8-9 years now and it is one of our Christmas traditions so I am now ready to start decorating and playing Christmas songs and watching Christmas movies.

If you would like to see TSO in concert, please scroll down on my side bar to watch a video.....

I have another Craft Fair next weekend so I have been making some new wreaths.....

One with red velvet roses....

White Poinsettias with green accents....


And a red and gold one.....

Still need to make a pink one and a blue one to round out my wreath selection....

I am also glad I am off because of this.....

A Full Moon!!

Things do get a little crazy in a hospital during a Full Moon!!

Can't you just imagine Santa and his sled and reindeer flying by??????

  1. I am saying prayers for you dear friend. I count your friendship as a sweet blessing in my life. You are getting ready for Christmas and I am ready to see all your gorgeous trees and decorating. Your wreaths are beautiful. I hope you had a wonderful time at the concert last night. You looked pretty in your Christmas sweater. I am still on this laptop. My pc was shipped back yesterday and is scheduled for delivery on Monday. I will be so glad to have it back. I need to email you, I have missed 'talking' with you. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your week off. Love and hugs!!

  10. Such beautiful wreaths, I can see why they sold out! I'm now inspired to do something with my decorating outside today, but my efforts will be very limited compared to yours!

    You're in my prayers for a fantastic result!
