A Winner and Two Paper Birds In a Bare Tree...

"Remember
This December,
That love weighs more than gold!"

Thank you to all of you sweet blog friends who entered my Holiday Give Away. If you need holiday cheer, a reason to be thankful, or to be up lifted by the sharing of the good things in life, go over and read the comments for the sign up post.

There were so many wonderful reasons to celebrate, being cancer free, earning a degree, healed family relationships, reuniting with family for the holidays, finding work, good test results, and the list goes on. It just takes one glimpse into the lives of others to make us truly grateful for what we have.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart for sharing these wonderful praises with me. You will never know how they helped me through a rough week. God bless you one and all!

Now, for the Holiday Give Away winner...MISS RHEA (Miss Rhea's Sweet N Shabby Roses) CONGRATULATIONS! Rhea, please email me your choice item from my shoppe and your mailing address. Thank you to all who participated.

I truly don't know why but every time I think I am going to decorate my tree something happens and I don't get to. I am about to give up! This is what I have been humming to the tune of The 12 Days of Christmas:

On the first day of trying to decorate my tree...my wrist gave out on me. And two paper birds in a bare tree...On the second day of trying to decorate my tree...very bad news was delivered to me. And two paper birds in a bare tree...

On the third day of trying to decorate my tree...my shoppe kept me very busy. And two paper birds in a bare tree...On the fourth day of trying to decorate my tree...Darling Daughter said, "Come shop with me." And two paper birds in a bare tree...

On the fifth day of trying to decorate my tree...Telephone rang, "Mom can you watch the babies?" And two paper birds in a bare tree...On the sixth day of trying to decorate my tree...In pop unexpected company. And two paper birds in a bare tree...

On the seventh day of trying to decorate my tree...I had run out of energy. And two paper birds in a bare tree...On the eighth day of trying to decorate my tree...We really needed groceries. And two paper birds in a bare tree...

On the ninth day of trying to decorate my tree...Ten thousand errands awaited me. And two paper birds in a bare tree...On the eleventh day of trying to decorate my tree...A migraine plagued me. And two paper birds in a bare tree...

On the twelfth day of trying to decorate my tree...I hope I can do it successfully.
And two paper birds in a bare tree!Wish me luck, I am almost out of days. These are the birds I gave you a peek of in my last post. I really enjoyed making them and think they will be perfect for my holiday decor. One will top my little tree and the other will be part of the centerpiece for the dining table.

I sincerely hope your holiday plans are going much better than mine and that you all have a fantastic weekend!

Blessings,
Miss Sandy
