White Wednesday Snowmen

When my kids were 8 and 5 (11 years ago)

I bought no bake clay at Micheal's and we made snowmen

It was so fun

Here they are making angels in the snow

we were in Telluride Colorado that year for Christmas

skiing, sledding, ice skating

fabulous memories

♥

Here the snowmen are on display this year

sitting in a crystal bowl of sugar snow

They both worked hard on their designs we walked for an hour outside ( it was a winter wonderland ) finding just the right branches for the arms then designing the tiny hats
My daughters snowman on the left has the best carrot nose
My sons on the right has very straight branch arms for birds to sit

* Christmas *

would not be complete without these
snowmen on display
Happy White Wednesday

Are you making memories ?

only 17 days until

Christmas

*Christmas Gift*

This Christmas Bell was a wonderful new addition

to our Christmas treasures last year

It is so adorable I left it out all year long

Love the etching and

Love that I bought it while shopping with my daughter

The bell is sitting on top of

this amazing blanket that I received for Christmas over 25 years ago

I love the pattern and the color

It was handmade for me by my Grandmother

♥

I don't know how long it took her to make it

(to this day I wish I had asked her)

or

how she knew I would

love the color so much but

I am so grateful for such a meaningful and thoughtful gift

Every time I look at it I think of her and every time

we use the blanket we feel wrapped in her Love

This blanket has been on my bed ever since that Christmas day

*Handmade gifts are the very best treasures*

Do you have a Christmas gift that you adore?

Only 18 days until Christmas

I am getting excited...

Christmas Chocolate Molds

This German chocolate mold of a snowman is so cute

I love to eat chocolate

add an adorable

Christmas

shape to it and who could resist

♥

This Angel chocolate mold is much larger than the snowman

These molds are so detailed look at the

wings on the back of the

Angel

♥

Love that she is praying

So my plan was to melt some chocolate and make

chocolate Angels and Snowmen while the boys watched the football game

but....

someone ate all of the chocolate?

Its a mystery that may never be solved.....

This weekend went way too fast only 20 days until

*Christmas*

are you feeling stressed?

remember stressed spelled backwards is desserts...

♥Christmas Treasures♥

Shopping for Christmas treasures is so much fun

I found six amazing german silver tins with stars

on the bottom

Also found this green and white polka dotted

European toothbrush holder

I was so excited to show you I forgot to take the

little tag off.. oops

I love that I can use the tooth brush holder even after

Christmas

♥

I think that these might be used for cup cakes?

Not sure, but I love them and I think I might use them for candles

on the table for Christmas dinner.

What would you use them for?

Hope you had a wonderful Friday

only 22 days until Christmas

Blessings

White Wednesday Christmas Advent

Happy December 1

I have a really fun idea to share with you

This is the easiest Advent Calender

Each day add a candle, light it with the family and

have each person say what they are grateful for..

25 days of gratitude
♥

I used a White Ironstone Bowl

sugar and a vintage hose nozzle as the candle holder

could not resisit the napkin ring around the nozzle for a little bling

I am Grateful for Family, Friends and all of God's Love

Happy White Wednesday

and Happy December 1

only 24 more days until

*Christmas*

Blessings
