  Hubby and I decided to stop at the thrift store...I was just walking along not really looking at anything when I saw this solid wood homemade wagon.....the wheels have axles and turn the hitch comes down and you can pull it....but it was red and green......but when I saw the hearts on the wheels I knew I wanted it for our front patio for valentines.......so I for got to get pictures of the before but right now turning the green into a soft gray....picked up a few decor from the dollar store and will show this off when I get it all done...the wagon measures 30 inches long x 20 inches high solid wood......and cost me $7.49 plus tax...I am excited about it...just perfect for the patio

  Tonight hubby and I are delivering a few neighbor Christmas gifts....we have 3 new neighbors and we are delivering 5 bags of gifts.......nothing special in each bag ..just a few things I put together....I shopped at thrift stores throughout the summer and picked up little santa and snowmen...little decorations and thoughout the month I have been melting wax pelts ...I got the wicks from hobby lobby and just made a few candles for the season....then daughter and I picked up a few of these season potholders that we attached a cookie mix and spatula to ....a Christmas card and I make angels....lots and lots of crocheted angels....so I attached one to each bag.......the little angel holds a poem that says ........ Sending a tiny Angel To walk though life with you To give you angel kisses And special blessings too, You may not always see her But know that she is there. Always watching over you With tender, loving care. This may not seem like anything to our neighbors but it means a lot to

  December 7th...and since we all started so early on decorating and getting ready ...we are ready........I love starting my decorating early as I have been able to enjoy them and just relax.....Christmas cards are in the mail....gift shopping is all done...neighbors gifts are ready to go......now all I need to do is write out them menu and finish picking up what groceries will be needed for dinner.......this has let us be bell ringers, drive around and look at lights, be able to go to craft fairs and soon to Christmas programs without any stress....love this time of year.......and want to enjoy every little bit of everything....God bless and try to relax as the days draw closer to Christmas....enjoy the season and always look to the Lamb of God....he will give your rest, peace, comfort, joy, hope.....as the days go by...
