Prayers are Needed!
What can we say that will help ease the pain for all those families that continue to deal with last Friday's ordeal. I can't begin to imagine what they are going through. I thought of my grandchildren who are 5 and 7 years old and my daughter who is a teacher.
What can you say; what can you do?
Spend time with your loved ones today, for tomorrow is never promised.

Decorating the Outdoor Steps !!
 |
| Decorated Steps with Vintage Watering Cans |
Isn't it funny how you can get excited about steps and a banister? Who knew!
We live in a ranch, so there are no steps or banisters to decorate. However, we do have three steps and a banister leading down from our deck. I usually have planters with flowers blooming on the steps, but at Christmas it gives me the opportunity to decorate this area.
Since there is no chance of snow here in southern Florida, I sprayed the greenery and poinsettias with snow. We do get a lot of rain, so I don't know how long the fake snow will last.

Chinese Light Bulbs?

| "Chinese" Light Bulb |
'Found these "Chinese" light bulbs many, many years ago. I thought they were really cool although I never tried to plug them in to see if they worked.
I love to bring them out at Christmas in different arrangements. The paint is beginning to wear on them, some more than others.

Jute Wrapped Candy Cane Ornaments

Did you ever buy something and had no idea what you were going to do with it. Well, that is what happened to me before Thanksgiving.
I went to a yard sale and found this bag of jute "curls". Not sure what they were used for, maybe doll hair.
Anyway, I kept thinking that I could do something with this curly jute, so I bought the bag. The price was right since it was only 50 cents.
