Christmas Vignettes

Today I am sharing one of my Christmas groupings. I'm linking to Southern Hospitality for the Holiday Home tour. 

I started out with an old chair that didn't have a seat.  I put a couple of green bushes on it and added a couple of red poinsettia bushes. Normally, I would have used Christmas garland but I already had this greenery on it from my fall decorations and just decided to leave it and add poinsettias.

The snowman pair I purchased in Branson, MO last winter. Don't you just love the glitter?

Isn't this the cutest wreath. It is made of wire. I received from one of my students about seven years ago. Each year I hang it in a different spot. This spot was calling it this year. I added the red bow to give it a Christmas look. That reminds me when I first go it, I let it out year long. I think I'll take the red bow off after Christmas and keep it out again this year.

It really is easy to take something that most would consider junk and turn it into a great Christmas display.

This is the first time I have participated in "Making the World Cuter". If you dropped by from that great blog, "Thank You" and it will make my day if you leave a comment to let me know your dropped by. If you did not drop in from that blog, I hope you take a few minutes to visit it and check out the linky party.

Take Care and God Bless.

I came across this video on SewCindy's blog yesterday and felt it was perfect for my Sunday Spiritual Sunday Post.  Hope you enjoy the message.




Take care and God Bless.

Santa's Play Land

Santa's Play Land is set up on my Fireplace Hearth. I guess you could say it it at the North Pole.

Even Santa is reminded of the reason for the season by this wall hanging. See the creche and the star by the "e".

The elves live at the edge of the forest and are really the ones who keep watch over the village.

This is the reindeer keeper's home. Doesn't he have a quaint little place. (He does share it with the rest of the stable workers.)

The barn. We have to keep the animals happy.

And the stable workers.

The reindeer have their own home. Look they even have their names above the window.

Santa's Solider Factory? They're really not soldiers--we want them to feel important as they go about making all of the toys for the good boys and girls and parents.

Santa and Mrs. Claus have an enchanted cottage closer to the main village. Mrs. Claus has to be in the middle of things, you know.

Chores must be done but they are a joy because everyone likes what they do in this town.

Shhhhhh! School is in session.

Everyone wants to live in Santa Land so we have two schools.


Ooops. Someone forgot to tell these little ones that recess is over.

The police keep the town in order. (They have a really cushy job.)

But . . . they are really serious about their job. Can't you tell?

Don't be fooled by the antiquated fire truck. It does the job.

Oh no! It's time to go.

Oh my! What are Santa and Frosty up to now.
