A Day of Simple Delights

There is just something about a cozy colorful sweater and a cup of coffee in hand...

 

Not to mention swinging with my dear sweet boy on my lap. I am truly blessed!

"You have let me experience the joys of life and the exquisite pleasures of Your own eternal presence."  Psalm 16:11 (TLB)

Back at Last

I've been toying with thoughts of remaking my blog. Sadly every time I begin I immediately realize I do not have the time for such an overhaul no matter how FUN it would inevitably be. So for now this design and layout are here to stay. And I promise to pop in as often as possible to share bits and pieces of creativity... 

Such as this to-die-for frame I stole from Goodwill for $7.99. It has been sleeping in storage for far too long and was ready to be awakened with five coats of fresh white paint! 

I would imagine the ornate details of the frame might truly pop in any color but I always try to use what I have on hand, so white I went... 

Seriously. The result is so pleasing I could stand and look at it for hours.  Only to take breaks as I search for the perfect piece of art to showcase this beauty of a frame. That's a little backwards I admit. Kinda like buying a dress to fit the shoes. (And yes I'm pretty sure I've done that also).

Oh blogging how I've missed you.

It's a happy thing to be back!

Easy Christmas Banner and Pretty Decor Ideas

As I've probably said numerous times before, this is my absolute favorite time of year! I love what it stands for and the fact that we as Christians get to openly celebrate Christ's love for us. I love the emphasis on giving and receiving gifts as a reflection of God giving us His Son so we can receive salvation. 

And along with all that depth, I love the beautiful lights and sparkle all over the city and through my front door...  

I hope you enjoyed that little peek inside our home and maybe you got a few ideas to add to your decor this year.

p.s. I love the banner best hanging from the dresser knobs but of course that doesn't work with a baby crawling around. Under the wreath was second best. It will have to do. 

Now off I go to sip a cup of tea and spend some time in the Word before my little one wakes up! 

Merry Christmas all,
