Rock and Roll Tree ?

Yesterday I decided it was time to create so I whipped up this paper tree. I have made paper
trees that are round , but haven't made any square ones until I made this one and I love it!

I have cut tons of round circles in the past and now I am cutting tons of squares! :)

I added a tiny vintage ornament for the tree topper along with some glass glitter and she
just sparkles.

I did have a blooper along the way though. I thought it would be so cute with a white
porcelain doorknob as the base so I glued it in and guess what? It just rocked and rolled all
over the counter...rocked and rolled and rolled! I could not get her to sit up straight for me
at all!
She is now dubbed my "ROCK AND ROLL TREE".

On to plan B...which was sitting the doorknob in a vintage silver
creamer. I can't get her out of the door knob unless I ruin it in the process.
Hubby says to put something on the bottom of the knob so she will set up straight,
but I haven't accomplished that yet. :)

I am working on another white tree, but she isn't quite finished yet. She looks much
different being all white and shorter. Each one is unique and fun to make. 

Are you ready for Christmas?

I am not ready.

Hubby's work being the only income in our family for the most part, and him losing his job
 has thrown a kink in some of our plans.

Please pray with me that he will find a new job soon. This isn't just a lay off and back
to work...they closed the plant. No warning. Wonderful Christmas present eh? Just
makes a person wonder.  To top it off...I don't get near as much done during
the day now with him home and the man thinks he needs to eat at lunch time.

What in the world is up with that??

Simple blessings

I fell in love with this cloche on clearance at Home Goods a couple months ago. I passed it up the first time and just kept going back to it. I finally put it in my cart, paid and walked out the door.  I have not regretted it. It can be used so many different ways and in so many different settings, but for now...white mini boo pumpkins.

I have had the mercury glass bowl for a few years. I picked it up after Christmas clearance at Target one year...75% off...it was a deal steal!!

I think my blingy earrings add the crowning touch to these pumpkins.

Cherish simple blessings...that is what I want to do this fall and actually all year through. I want to focus on the simple things and not get caught up in all the drama and hooplah that sometimes comes along with the holidays.  Easier said than done I am sure, but I am going to try.



I don't think a person can ever have too many mini pumpkins. :)

Some of my mini boo's have a few blemishes, but that is okay.  I am not perfect either, but I am so thankful that God loves me anyways. I know that He loves me for who I am and who I am striving to be and not by what has happened in the past or what may happen in the future. He loves me unconditionally and that is the most perfect form of love.  Thanking Him for that love today and everyday!!

I actually got creative today and made a stocking from old feedsack fabric with a ruffle and matching roses so I will be showing that soon. Although it looks like it was made for King Kong as the pattern was 24 inches long!! I want to make my own pattern and make a few smaller ones soon too.

Linking up with Faded Charm today for White Wednesday. So sorry that I can't comment to everyone who leaves me a comment. My internet is just too pathetically slow these days. I do try to get to many that don't work out. I will keep trying though.
