Just Simply Thinking about a Blog Hop giveaway

Good Morning

 Being silly in my thoughts this morning

Would it not be wonderful for everyone to approach this time of the year With this sentiment in their hearts? I think many do and then some get lost in the hustle and bustle of gifts In the stress of putting together a big event, a Huge meal, with guests I think we all go into the season with Plans to make it simple and to enjoy the Season for it's purpose To Praise the Lord and take it slow, to be grateful and just Happy

An Ornament by me: Picture from a customer of mine

this post may be picture heavy and also long in my memories 

But wait :) looking over the horizon, daylight is here

I better hurry, my chickens will be yelling for me to come

free them from the coop and Feed *Smile*

~The Greatest Gift is Love~

YES I am thinking of decorating for Christmas

So let's think about it together, at the bottom of this post I will share

details about a Blog Hop Giveaway the first week of December

My Little Tree will for sure be put up this year

I always do a little Country - Fishing tree

since we live at a Lake

But being that we live in this tiny 600 sq ft home

I think that is all I will put up in the house

(Hubby will probably be thrilled LOL)

A fishing guide here at the lake normally has this guy setting outside

If it snows this year I will visit this guy

Cause hey in all honesty my bones will be chilled

and my aches will scream in pain if it does happen

to drop that *bone chilling cold stuff*

probably nothing to worry about as we always seem to 

get ICE ... which is Worse then snow

 are you ready for spring? I AM :)

I am planning and scheming today out, we shall see

I am thinking, I am going to go drag hubby out of bed, And make ask

him to take the nonworking Air unit 

(that is not sealed to keep the cold outside :) 

out of my poor neglected, OH if you seen it now ***MESSY***

~I will get to it someday~ studio Building

Nope I am still not out there yet, still working at my kitchen table

I am going to go fix this tree that is crammed in a corner 

in my building

And I am going to go straighten that studio up this week

And Do my decorating out there

YES: That is my Christmas plans this year

To just get it done before Christmas

**A Gift to myself**

Who knows I may keep it decorated Year round

My little retreat to help me remember the Gift of Love

So let's recap a few years here, I could not find my tree

In 2012 so I ran and got a cheap dollar store tree

That was an extremely thin tree :)

and it grew Because I performed magic

When I get ready to do my thin tree this year I will share

lots of photos and how I did this, all with bits and pieces of stuff I had

this arrangement is what started me thinking of Christmas this year

By A Great Friend Sheila of Country Impressions

I have made some wonderful friendships in the past seven years online

And have gotten some lovely gifts through swaps and giveaway's

Christmas trees the past few years that I have done

so Yes even though we here in this empty nest do not 

have a large family gathering I will put all of my wonderful

treasure's out to enjoy them

I will be Merry and nothing will take that Joyful feeling away from me

I may not have running water in my little building

But I am going to set up a Coffee bar out there so I can set and

RELAX for awhile everyday!

Note to self: buy gallons of water to put in building :)

Life should be simple and it should be Joyful

and we should all take a little time everyday to 

be thankful for our blessings 

To have a heart and Give the Gift of Love

(real love, unconditional, unselfish, true to the heart Love)

because the fake stuff just doesn't do a heart any good

So when you buy gifts this year, think with your Heart

When you give, Give with your Heart

And when you Receive do it with your Heart

Give unconditionally, without expectation in return

Be thankful and be Joyful because that is what Life should be

so If you want to give from the Heart

I am going to put together a Blog Hop Giveaway
