Beatrix Potter
5 lbs.
resting after Thanksgiving
& from having 2
baby teeth extracted
also getting ready to
help decorated the
newly created Christmas tree
(designed & built by guess who)
***
it seems that my very wonderful tree
from the Accessory Place
in Houston
is just way too big
for my old castle here
so after looking at
 many trees
(that all looked just alike)
no matter the price
i decided a month ago
to build my special tree
the basic tree is complete &
carried from my office 
to the living room
now for the embellishment &
decorating of said tree
like nothing you've ever seen
as it has taken on a life of it's own
as many of my projects do!
oh, the magic of it all 

happy decorating everybody

THANKSGIVING PRAYER - 2011
it seems that i've had a love affair with old
sheet music & lady pattern paper
a life long friend gave me boxes
of old worn hymnals
& boxes & boxes of
lady patterns
i now use them for everything
creative & wonderful
from napkin rings to
garlands, wrapping goods,
flowers, signs, tableclothes
endless & priceless
i've also been on a
non-bow era
as bows have been so over done
"mainly me" - i've bowed up with the best!
but they  become tired & over used
(fade with age & are unjoyful)
sssoo- this stash of
Ephemera Extraordinaire
has sent me on a whole new/old
path of
thinking of new creations

i love this old hymn
have a blessed thanksgiving
everyone

THANKSGIVING
many days of thanksgiving
were spent at
Dewbeary Creek Farm
our beloved farm in Austin County in
Burleigh, Texas
On this thanksgiving Granny Bennett
came & we posed for the camera shots
for my Daddy who captured our
lives through the talented lense of
his many cameras
how blessed to have loving grandparents and
a loving mother & daddy
whose guidance & example & love
taught me so much
let's all count our blessings
out loud!
name them one by one
