Christmas 2019

Christmas 2019 you say, what? Well I say, better late than never! I was recovering from major surgery and had decorated the house in mid-November, but had so much going on (and on meds) I just could not get everything I wanted to completed. It was a very different holiday season for us this year, more difficult than last year. A lot of hard medical news from family members and my own health struggles made things a bit sad.

We where able to host my Mom, Step-Dad & Brother for a day, which was very nice creating memories. We purposed to remember what Christmas really means, the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, and focus on that. There is always someone out there suffering more than I am, I try to keep that in mind when I have a pity party at times. I also have so much to be thankful for, even in the midst of trials.

So without further ado, here is this seasons Christmas decor!

Love this nutcracker I found on Amazon

So pretty with the light streaming in

Made this simple sign on my computer

Teacart with feathers and icey wreath

My fav Nativity

Made this sign a few years back

Snowball ornaments and feather boas in my acanthus leaf basket

Reindeer napkins<3. I used angel wing ornaments glued to these name card holders and angel wings on the chairbacks

My snowy village that I made from my Mom's old villiage & thrifted town pieces. I used white spray paint & faux snow

Pewter Christmas Carolers are also a thriftstore find and a fav!

Made this angel family out of vintage glass salt & pepper shakers

Made my own candles this year, they where so delish1

I made so many that I will likely have some for next season! I used vintage glassware, stemware & crown glasses.

My lovely deer I purchased last year that was broken. I repaired her antler, and dressed her up with pearls & a crown.

The joy of The Lord....
