Over at Chris's blog http://welovequilting.com/blog/ she ask this question.

Dinner party for 10
You can invite anyone that has ever existed.
So God would have to be there, he wouldn't have to speak.
Just being in his presence would make me speechless.
Abraham Lincoln, and Malik.( my grandson)
He reads all he can on dear oh Abe, so he would enjoy meeting him.
My paw paw, Matt Wells. cause I miss him, so much.
My mother, she is still alive but I am sure she would love to see her
daddy
after 30 years.
My husband, is my rock. So I would like for him to be there to keep me
from making a
fool of myself.
And since Terry will be there for me. I would have to invite his dad.
He died 18 years ago.
And Jessica, my daughter loved her paw paw, so she would have
to be there to get a hug.
So that is 8...I have 2 more...
This is really hard.
And I am going to ask that Michael, a class mate
join us.
I do miss him.
Sorry I lost touch, when I should have been there.
And I would invite
Jesus to answer all my questions.
And it wouldn't really matter what we had to eat,
cause I am sure no one would be eating.

Oh Christmas Tree
Oh Christmas Tree
I can't tell you how pretty this tree looks,
in person.
I have not turned off the lights since I
decorated it on Friday.
I feel in love with the Aqua and Bronze
color last year, so I hit the after Christmas
Sales and got alot of stuff.
Told Barbara and she kelp her eyes open and
WA-LA!

This morning the light came through my bed room window and woke me up! The coffee was ready, hubby was laying next to me, the dishes were still in the sink, the creamer was in the refrigerator, my favorite coffee cup was in the cabinet, there is slippers by my bed, clean clothes in the closet, food in the pantry, sea shell from my beach trips in bowls all over the house, there is books on the night stand, Televisions to watch, a computer to surf my many blogs, and Christmas gift wrapped and ready to go under the tree. Many of these things are here everyday. Many of these things I take for granted. But I am so grateful for each and every person that is in my house, for each coffee cup in my cabinet, food to eat, clothes to wear, trips we take, everything we have. I hope you take a few minutes this week to thank God for everything you have. Because without him, we would have nothing.

Frosty had a black top hat but the Snowman today should have a little glitter. So here it is.....we made the tree star at the Jubilee Sunday. Just use the green bottle brush trees and but them in bleach and water. for just a few minutes...rinse and dry. Wha la ....white trees. Now just a lot of hot glue to get them into a star you like.....A lot of glue. And fan fold a few strips of paper and add a old Christmas ball or bead. and Yes. the hat is made from a Oatmeal box. So start eating...Oatmeal cookies, or add a little into the meatloaf... you will have a empty box in no time. Happy Monday!

It's a bottle tree! I have told you in a resent post that I bought 4 truck loads of bottles. Well I had to do something for Christmas with em. So here it is, it really looks better in person. Christmas is just around the corner and I am no where ready. I have bought a few gift, they are still in the trunk of my car and need to get em wrapped before Ky finds his race track. The Jubilee is over. Went easy this year, but I had 3 no shows. Questioning if it is really worth it any more. I will get you picture of what we made in a day or two. Have a good Monday.

They look like they are having alot of fun! This weekend is Silver Bella it is a Paper Arts & Mixed Media Event Omaha Nebraska . I dream to attend each year. I know they are having fun as I type. But I am home preparing for Jerri's Jingling Jubilee, which is my version of Silver Bella, kinda sorta, no not really.

We will complete 10 items for a whopping $30.00. Where else can you craft, fellowship and eat for $30.00. We will have so much fun. I believe this is our 4th year.

Any way it is Sunday and I only have 2 places left, so give me a call and I will set you a place at the table. Sunday at 2.

I have a whole file of things I want to do one day, items I want to create, or things that inspire me. Where this came from, I don't know. But it was in that file. And although I might put this on my car one day. I believe I could find my car in a parking lot filled with Christmas shoppers.

Today is the last Under Glass post.
These came out of Linda booth and I love em. Just the right amount of fluff to make them interesting. We have sold so many of these and I hope I have interested you into using that glass cake plate all year long. Drag it out, and put your grandmother change purse and glasses in it. Maybe a card she sent you or her favorite passage. It is all about remembering.
I am frantically planning for this weekend. It is time for Jerri's Jingling Jubilee. It is a annual crafting event I plan each year. You will create 10 different items for $30.00. It is alot of fun and great fellowship. Seems I have picked a bad weekend and still have places left. So if you are interested in joining me, just email.
Tomorrow or once day this week I will be starting Christmas in Dry Creek Post.
So stay Turned.

Welcome
Grouping by color is today's post.
The items have nothing in common except color. But don't they look nice together.

I pronounce you man and wife, be good to each other.
These are hurricane globes, and I filled them with what I thought a bride and groom needed on that day...and what I had in the shop at the time. I hope everyone had a nice, safe Halloween. I know we did.
