December Is Waiting To Enter

December

It is waiting to makes it's entrance.

Ready or not all the hustle and bustle

is knocking on the door.

Am I ready?  Haha! no but I had

better get with it.

I told my daughter, I am just not

going to decorate this year.

She laughed!

She said,

"Mom you say that every year, and guess what?

You always decorate."

So she was really saying,

Stop, complaining and do what you always do. . 

Decorate for Christmas. . .

So it all begins. . Come back and 

watch the Christmas decorating  of my home.

It Is Good To Be Thankful

It is a common thing 

that we express what we are

THANKFUL 

for at this time leading to

Thanksgiving.

I believe it is good to express my

Thankfulness

Everyday.

All the Time.

No matter where my journey in life takes us

it is good to express my 

Thankfulness.

We all have our highs and our lows

Good times and difficult times.

As my Auntie would say,

"It is just one thing after another."

I have had my share of "lows".

Difficult times, and struggles.

I do believe my good days have 

out numbered my difficult days.

It is true. . . 

"Count your many blessings

name them one by one,

and it will surprise you

what the Lord has done!"

There is something about 

writing and naming my blessings

One by One

that makes me feel more positive

and happy about life.

It seems my blessings increase

One by One.

For me I write in my

Gratitude Journal

Everyday.

I reflect on my day, and I

write the things I am most 

Thankful

for on that particular day.

I am always amazed at what 

marvelous things I am

Blessed  with.

November Ramblings

It is a beautiful chilly November day

where I live. And I like it!

November is one of my favorite months.

I have many special reasons why I love this month.  

My first child Mathew was born in November.

The birth of a child you never forget.

My second grandson Andrew is also a

November baby.  I also have other reason to

Love November.

November is a time for 

Families to gather together.

Generations, 

Children, Parents, Grandparents

Aunts, Uncles, Cousins.

We all gather as families and friends

to begin the biggest

celebration of all

Christmas!

Thanksgiving

Begins the Christmas Season for me.

But, first I like Thanksgiving,

I don't want to rush it out of the way

I like to savor the season of giving 

Thanks.

I believe that everything is centered around being Together.

And that Family is everything.  

With Friendship closely linked.

November

Thanksgiving

Family

Together

No matter the circumstances of our life,

we are still part of a family.

This month and every month I give thanks for

the Blessings of Family, Friends, Gathering.

I am thankful for November. . .

It reminds me of the precious gift I have

Family

This Is Church

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

                          

This Is Church

Have a Beautiful Sabbath.

From Karie

Every Good Witch Knows. . . .

Oh, yes every good witch knows. . . 

Stay with your first instinct!

I began my blog many years ago with the intent of keeping a

visual record of my decorating. . .Thus

Karie's Chic Creations was born.

I have talked about many things besides my

decorating. . .I have made friends along my way.

How could I even begin to think I could 

delete this precious blog of mine?

Ugh! What was I thinking?

So pardon the lapse in good judgment

please continue with my ever so unpredictable journey

blogging about my life!

I invite you into my home this Harvest Season.

I don't decorate for Halloween. . .I am past that stage 

in my life.. . and besides I don't like things that are

scary or creepy. . .I like cutesy! 

I call it Harvest. . .!  Or just plain 

October.

Oh, but I do like my cute little witch and her shoes.

I like her shoes, because as we all know

Every good witch knows 

it is all in the shoes!

Do come back. . .OK?

Nope, Not Leaving Blog Land

Nope, I can not do it!

I can not delete or stop posting on 

Karie's Chic Creations

I just can't do it.

I won't do it!

I am here to stay.

Karie's Chic Creations is part of 

Me.

So please continue to tag along

with me on my crazy

eradicate blogging journey.

I will be posting soon.

Never Ending Just New Beginnings

Hello my friends.

With sadness in my heart I am

deleting Karie's Chic Creations.

Things change in life and it has in

Blog-land. When I started 

Karie's Chic Creations over 10 years ago

blogging was much different.  

it was different in so many good ways.

I really enjoyed it, and I met some 

fantastic bloggers.  I felt like we were

truly friends. I still feel that way with

many. But things have changed for me.

I don't do all the decorating I once did.

I am older and much more settled with what 

I have.  And to tell you the truth blogging became

stressful to me.  I felt like I wasn't good enough

my little home wasn't good enough, my pictures were

not photo magazine worthy. I stressed with what I would 

post, what would I say.  Why didn't I have the followers?

Why did no one comment? I lost the joy 

and the fun in blogging.

So I am saying good bye.  

Thank you to all my lovely friends

who stayed with me. Those who loved

my little blog and loved me.

I am switching gears.

Another blog will soon be re-started

Karie's Daley Life.

I will post about life, my life.

My comings and my goings.

My family,

My religion

(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)

I will post about growing older.

Friends

My two little pals

Teddy and Cash.

I will post about being a woman

who loves life, loves my role as

a mother to my Children

Grandchildren, Sister and Aunt.

I will post about being a widow,

and enduring joyfully until I am with

my husband again.

I will try to spread sunshine, happiness

and kindness.

I may even show a few of my talents

and hobbies.

So if you would like to visit me

and see what is going on in

Karie's Daley Life
