Ideas For a Christmas Wreath

Hello my dear friends. . .

Hope you have recovered from the

Thanksgiving Holiday

And are you ready to begin the next one?

Of, course this is the big one!

I need a new 

Christmas Wreath

And what better place to look than

Pinterest

 

 Lots of baubles and bulbs in these!

I am always drawn to anything with 

Christmas Plaid

And Red!

This is different with the red ornaments off to the side.

A berry wreath is always pretty hanging anywhere.

I like the snow frosted pine in this one.

Very eye catching.

Hmmm! There are a lot of pretty wreaths out there

And Pinterest certainly has a collection of them

I had better come up with something.  . 

The decorating mood has come to my house.

I am ready to get it all started.

I kind of like to wait until

December 1st.

Let's see what I come up with. . 

Be sure to check back. . .K

 

Fiddling With My Blog

Well, I have spent most of my day trying

to get my Blog to look somewhat outstanding.

Alas, I must say I don't think it is anywhere near

what I would like it to be. . .Sad to say

I will have to play some more.

I's just not getting what I want.

But while I have been fiddling with the blog

I have done some cute collages or mosaics whichever 

you prefer to call them. . 

 

 I really like this one.

Now, if I could just get it in my

Header I would be happy.  

I need to read the tutorials again on 

making your own Header and blog.

Hope you are having a wonderful day.

See you tomorrow.

Still Not Sure!

As you can see I have changed things 

Just a little. . .NO!

A Lot!

I think I will have to put the 

Under Construction sign out. . 

I am trying to give my blog

A new little look. And in the process I have

Kind of (NO! not kind of)

Messed things up. . 

I hope I get this all worked out.

Do you ever change things, and then

Realize, you had a pretty good thing going to begin with?

And you wish you had never changed.

Well that is how I am thinking right now.

I am still working on this. . .So. . . .Be Patient.

K

Oh, boy! I have a mess!

I am trying to make my blog fancy

And use my own skills to make my header. . 

Sorry. . . it isn't working!

It is late and I have been working 

On this header for HOURS. . 

I will have to continue tomorrow

Because my computer won't do what I want

Ya, that's it I will blame it on my computer. . 

Not my Brain. . 

Hopefully I will have this figured out

Tomorrow

Come back please. . .

Thanksgiving Blessings

The day will soon be arriving when I take

Time to gather with family and  friends

To give Thanks for the bounties of this earth.

To you my dear friends I wish you an early

Happy Thanksgiving.

I will be spending the day at my home
 With my two youngest son's
 Blake and Mark and their families.

Four healthy, active grandchildren
 Will grace my Thanksgiving table.

To this I am thankful.

 I would like to share the hymn we sang in 

Church On Sunday

It is an old 1626 Hymn from the Netherlands.

Prayer of Thanksgiving

We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing

He chastens and hastens his will to make known

The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing

Sing praises to his name; 

He forgets not his own.

Beside us to guide us our God with us joining

Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine.

So from the beginning the fight we were winning,

Thou, Lord wast at our side;

All glory be thine.

We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant

And pray that thou still our defender wilt be

Let thy congregation escape tribulation,

They name be ever praised!

O Lord, Make us free!

Wherever you may be 

Whatever your circumstance

My God bless you and your loved ones.

May He keep you safe in His tender care.

One of the things I am so thankful

For every day, every second 

Of my life is the 

Good Health 

The Lord has blessed me with. .

Even more than ever before.

I have visited some wonderful blogs,

And through blogging met some amazing people.

I have never met them in person, but

Through their blogs I have seen the 

Goodness in so many people.

Right now a blogger is in a battle for her life.

November Snow

Oh, dear!

I got a little lost this week. . 

I didn't get to post the many things

I am thankful for. . 

But, I hope everyone knows I am

A very Thankful person!

My heart overflows with gratitude

To my Father In Heaven

Who is the giver of all my blessings.

For this November Day

I am thankful for 

SNOW!

 After receiving 12 inches of snow.

I walked through the park to capture

The beauties of 

SNOW

 It was serene and quiet. . 

Snow falls so gently,  it leaves no sound.

 I live in Utah. . .and Snow is precious to us.

We depend on the white fluff for our very existence.

We are the second driest state. . 

We receive very little rain. . our source of moisture is

SNOW

Heavenly Father heard our many prayers asking for moisture.

My home town received 12 inches.

Beautiful. . . Gorgeous. . . !

Thankfulness!

SNOW!

Thankful for. . .My Camera!

Another Thankful day

So much to be thankful for. . 

And today it is my

CAMERA!

My Canon Camera. . .

I am having so much fun taking pictures.

Now, I remind you I am not a

Photographer. . .I just take pictures.

I am taking a photography class

And I am loving it.

Saturday was a beautiful day here in Utah

And we were on a photo shoot

At the historical

Benson Grist Mill

In Tooele County Utah

Here are a few of my photos. . 

Be warned this post is photo full!!!!

My November Saturday

Today I am Thankful For. . . .

Now this is a funny little post

To start off my month of

Thankfulness,

But. . . .

I am Thankful for my 

Bedroom!

 

 My bedroom is nothing fancy.

But it is peaceful, restful, and comforting.

After a long day and my body and mind are weary

I can retreat to the comfort and peace of

My Bedroom.

 My bed is clean, and comfortable.

During the day my bed is made

And looks comfortable and peaceful.

I don't have a television in my bedroom. . .

I feel that distracts from the peacefulness of the room.

Just stop and think of the millions of people who

Have no beds, no peaceful restful place to lay their heads.

Today, I am thankful for

My Bedroom.

This little pillow sits at the foot of my bed.

It is a daily reminder for me to do

Something that makes me happy.

Because I have a restful room and 

Warm comfortable bed

My day can begin with happiness.

After kneeling at the side of my bed

In morning prayer. . .I can begin my day.

 The Lord has blessed me with a

Beautiful Bedroom.

And what are you thankful for today?

November A Month of Thankfulness

My goodness can you believe it is

The leaves have changed colors.

And I like to see the leaves falling to the ground.

November too.

And of course I can't forget

Thanksgiving is in 

November

 Just so much Thankfulness in

November

So for this month I want to share

With you the things I am

Thankful for.

Tell you of the

Thankfulness in my Heart!
