Santa's Goose...er....CHICKEN!

 A beautiful, dreary, drizzling Saturday, in the NOT so sunny Sunshine State! 
Last night we talked and talked about what a GREAT excursion we had planned for today. Grammy, Mommy & Goose had PLANS  on this wonderful last Saturday before Christmas.

So what happens???

We get RAIN, that's what!!! NO playing in the snow(fake:), NO Bouncehouse, NO arts and crafts......

BUT

We DID have Breakfast with Santa!! And, a Photo Shoot(as in 1 photo--HA) And it went WELL...ahhh... NOT so WELL! She is still  scared of Santa:(

  We have been doing a little decorating, during the last few days.  I AM aware that Christmas is only a week away....Thank You:)   I found this little treasure out 'Salen,  recently.  

Beautiful isn't it?  I got this little {{{grin}}} baby for $1. Yep, ONE DOLLAR!!! Can U Believe it?? 

 And,

NOW

 it looks like this......

  



She has my musicial abilities:) HA



 SO what do ya think? Everything on the table AND the chair "covers" was thrifted/ gifted/UpLifted:) from various sources!  The little "dessert bowl" candleholders were my gramma's. The candles were a gift from LAST Christmas. The dessert tray/plate centerpiece, the pinecones, and the crochet doily were all thrifted. All the "linens" were gifted(except for the gold material I inserted in the frame--thrifted), as was the gold ribbon and the greenery. 

That WAS fun!!

 Have a HAPPY  BLESSED day:)


The extra special photo is here! It did not in anyway, shape, or form cooperate with me! (And NEITHER did she:)

Christmas 'cycles and some postal luvs....Really!

Happy Wednesday Blogsville:)

 Did you know that Christmas is just around the corner? That's what I'm gettin from my local intel, anyway! Good thing I work well with deadlines LOL! What is it about them that gets the creative goodness going? Does anyone know?

 Now, for something a little more relevant to the Title:)

 I have received some lovely surprises in the mail recently! Ok, so One of them was UPS, ya caught me....

 

I can only say " I {{{{HEART}}}} SewMamaSew!

 This came yesterday---Sew exciting:)

YES!!!!

I won one of their giveaways from their Handmade Holidays last month....WHooHooO....

That is the second thing I've won from them in the last few months

You may remember  this post in September:)

And THIS came too(NOT on the same day, That would have proven TOO much for my system)

YES CHANTEL Your package is here! I will not berate the postal system AS it has actually found its way back to me....but....Well...(insert imagination, puhleez:)

I'll be sending it back to you in the next few days:) I must say I love surprises in the mail---The MAIL really is a treasure.  I hope we don't lose it, like so many other things.

AND now,

To the 'cycles

  I actually upcycled the back of this vest, cutting it off just below the armholes.  Added some scrap pieces......






Now, it's THIS...

One Infinity Scarf

Check !

My list is GeTtin smaller{{{grin}}}

I forgot to take a b4 pic of this one.....It was a drapery sheer...

Needless to say I did NOT use the whole piece. Such wonderful Gigantic fabric panels:)

Gifted, just like the first piece....WhoOhoo!

And, before you rush to tell me--I DO know there are some strings hanging. I just couldn't wait to share!

Elastic is MY friend hoooYaah! The brooch in the first pic of this scarf was my Grammas. You can really play around with dif. peices on a scarf like this. 

OH, You'd like to see whats underneath???

 great hoodie from thriftin:)

One more shot of this scarf ....

It's hard to tell in the pic but all the little specs of yellow in the flower is actually gold glitter. Too Big, too much, do ya think? The color actually accents much better than this shot shows, but I'm split on whether or not it's Over the Top.

 OPINIONS puhleeeze! It's prob. gift #2 on my slightly loooong list of "todo"!

I can NOT say that these ideas were all my own.....They came from the hundreds of yummy crafty creative blogs and their owners...Feel free to claim them(the IDEAS, not my scarves:)

 Thinking of a kitten for Christmas???? I'll be happy to help! The b&w one is DEF stayin w/ me. After losing my Siamese son Marple this spring I'm ready. I have decided to call this one Elpram Jane. My Marple was SUPPOSED to be a girl---this one IS. Marple was Siamese(white w/black) THIS one is black w/ white.
