~IT'S PARTY TIME...~



I haven't much to offer..but I wanted to join in the fun! I think bj@SWEET NOTHINGS
understands exactly how I feel. :) I fell on the floor when I read her entry!! Still laughing!



My pictures are way too dark I know. Forgive my poor photography. Just an apothacary jar filled with cranberry garland...


This pair of angels was given to me by the son of a dear friend after she passed away. One of the wings was glued on but fell of in one of my moves and I won't reattach it. It reminds me of some of us here on earth...


My primitive gingerbread men playing ring around the Christmas tree..


My pictures were way too dark but I was just too tired to redo.

I have looked at some of the entries..and am hanging head here a wee...and then I think of bj and nearly fall off my chair. I can almost hear her "BWAAAAAA" :)

Thanks, Marty! LOVE your parties!

Mona

    Mona, don't you be fussing. Your house looks beautiful! I think it's so sweet that you left the angel wing off...you are so right about all of us here on Earth. We aren't perfect but that's ok. :)

    I like the idea that You don´t glue back the angels wing!

    I could never have that many decorations at my home since I hate dusting :-) :-)
    Have a great day now!

    Oh I love your cloches. They are wonderful. I love the cranberry garland in the apothecary jar, it is so pretty and your angels are wonderful. I love that one of the precious wings is broken. It really does remind me of me. Your gingerbread men are so cute around the tree. I love them all and you did a fabulous job. Your are a peach for joining the party and I really appreciate it. Hugs, Marty

    Hi Mona! I am so happy to be able to catch up on all your latest blog posts, I've missed them so! I love so many of the things you do, garage sales, family, decorating. I had to smile at your toy corner, I just finished one in my home this week! So the grandkids can play, right? Or maybe that I have an excuse to look at the old toys with so many memories attached. I agree that this time of year is bittersweet, but that makes the memories all the more precious. Talk soon friend, we're supposed to have snow tonight, and around here that is a rare thing.

    Too dark? I just thought you were being "artistic"! Your cloches are lovely -- I'm really enjoying all the cranberries I'm seeing in everyone's decor. I think they all three look wonderful! Those are the cutest gingerbread men -- I'm just so happy that you're feeling well enough to come and "play" with us now.

    See ya!

    Now you've got me on the lookout for a nice cloche. Just one is all I need..I'm looking around for a wire one...have you seen those? Can't remember now, but one of the ladies here in Blogland has one...who IS that? ANYway...
    have a wonderful weekend..It is soooo cold out here in West Texas....brrrr
