Pinterest Fall Wreath

I did it!! It was only up for one week. But it was a great accomplishment considering the fact that I rarely get any time to myself. My sweet baby boy seems to think that his job is to monopolize all my time. Here are a few pics  of the Fall Wreath. I made it so that the flowers and decorations can be removed and replaced with Christmas colors, such as red and white roses with green holly leaves made out of felt. I was goin to convert it into a Christmas wreath but because of our upcoming move I will not have the time, so it will have to go into storage and next year it will be ready for fall and hopefully Christmas.

I was just playing with the color effects on my camera... Highlighting green.

Yay .... finished!!! Ready for next season.

A Little Bit More!

It came without tags! "It came without packages, boxes or bags!" And he puzzled three hours, `till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before! "Maybe Christmas," he thought, "doesn't come from a store. "Maybe Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!"

I am throwing a Dr. Seuss themed dinner for Christmas and I just love this quote from the book "How The Grinch Stole Christmas!", I know it doesn't refer to the birth of our Savior but it does remind me that Christmas is not about just a little bit more but a lot more!!! Christmas means so much more than gifts and goodies, it is a time to remember the birth of our Savior, a blessed time for sure. Even though he was not born at this exact time of year, we can still rejoice in the fact that he was a gift unto us. If Christmas means the gift of a savior then be sure to spread that gift far and wide this Christmas don't be a Grinch and steal the only true gift from some lost soul by keeping your gift of the Savior hidden!!! On another note I am truly excited , because this Christmas is Gage's first Christmas, and a little sad since the coming of this year will be quite a bit different for the three of us as a family. But the Lord has been good to us and I am excited to see what He will do in the new year.
