Merry Christmas From Our House
to Your House!

Morning Sweet Friends,
*
Hope you are all wrapping everything
up so you can just enjoy the rest of your
day and tomorrow.  I have a few small
things left to do,  nothing earth shattering.
*
We are having dinner tonight with Scott and Dee
 and a few of their friends and my sister-in-law,
so we are looking forward to it.  Dee gets off at
 noon and should be over shortly thereafter,  and
Scott will get off hopefully by 3:00,  and hubby is
 working at home today and will be off at noon as well.
*
Guess I had better get on withThankful Thursday

I am thankful I know that Savior, Jesus
and the difference He has truly made in my
life and the life of my family.

I am thankful for my precious family
and the blessing that they are to me.
# 4
I am thankful for all the friends old
and new that the Lord has given me.
#5
I am thankful for all my bloggy friends
who are such an encouragement  and
inspiration thru their writings ,
comments and prayers.

I am thankful for great food and the
ability to afford to eat well.
Not everyone can say that!

good ole USA,
#11
I am thankful to be healthy for
Christmas!

Well,  that wraps up my thankful list
Hope you are thankful today too!
*
*
*
I will show you a few more tablescapes ideas,
this one is very easy yet elegant!


*
All you need is a platter and Christmas balls
and  candle holders.  I was gonna use
smaller ones that I had,  but then I
saw an arrangement on the BH&G email
that had stemmed custard dishes with candles,
and remembered I had bought these glasses
of a ladies brunch I had once and I had used
2 of the glasses as candleholders then, as well.
*


*
I was just playing here on my kitchen table
cause the other table is set,  so I don't have
a full table shots of any of these.
*

*

I remembered I had these stars leftover from 
the 4th of July and they were the perfect
shade of red.  I liked that lil extra bling.
*

*
Add a candy cane to the glass or plate

*
Well, that is it for today! Hope I got your
creative juices flowing!
*
As you are going about your day
remember to count your blessings
not the things on your list!!  lol
*
Have a Merry Merry Christmas
Sweet Friends!

Love , Peace and Joy to you and yours,
Nellie

  3. Hi Nellie,

    Merry Christmas to you and your sweet family. I have had zero time for reading and commenting the past many days but I have thought of you often and appreciated your comments so much.

    It sounds like things are much better in the health department for you and for that I am grateful.

    Love you so much and wishing you a very wonderful celebration!
