C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S L-O-V-E

a group of kindergarteners  were singing a song called Christmas Love at their holiday program
they all had a letter to hold up as they were singing
One had a C
One had an H
One had an R
and so on.
As the child with the M stood up with her letter, she mistakingly held it up as a W
the crowd giggled at her mistake.
and as the last letter E was held up, a hush came over the crowd as they read the mistakenly held message

C-H-R-I-S-T- W-A-S   L-O-V-E

yep...
Christ was love.

Merry Christmas to all...
hope you all have a great holiday
thanks for reading my blog- it is a present to me to have readers and followers.
may all your dreams come true!

Christmas past...

 this young punky kid is now a very grown up & responsible 17...

 this darling grandbaby is now a sweet 6...

 this adorable grandson is now fun 6...

 this sweet young girl is now a beautiful, fabulous 15...

and SANTA...ageless and priceless...

vintage deer, new camera...a few issues...

ok...so if you have been a reader and have a really really good memory, this is the picture of my vintage deer from, yep, last year...
cuz I have taken a load...a bunch...a boatload...of pictures on my new camera...but can I get them to load on my computer...
nope.
so...waiting for the brilliant teenager, my son, to get home from church and visiting friends to help me.
so...hopefully later I will have some current pics of vintage Christmas...for sale and just to peek at...
so...til later...
have a merry Sunday!

ahhhh...the holidays...

as I get my tiny little house ready for the holidays...my little aluminum tree comes out to stand on a table...somewhere...(it ended up on my dresser)
and the tree in the living room? yes...this is an indication that my camera is losing it...(asking for one from Santa...)
and I am spending more and more time in here...creating and pricing and dreaming...

did I mention that I am opening a mall space in SPLENDID? that is the mall that is just across the street from STARS...so my second mall space will be open on December 16th...
I so love the fact that the 2 spaces are just across the street from each other in Sellwood...so very happy, I am.
And no, I haven't given up on opening in Eugene...just the right place and space haven't appeared yet...but I have no doubt that it will sometime in 2011...
hope your holiday time is wonderful...
have a great week!
