I am glad to know I am not the only one who does not get everything up in an instant. Slow, but somehow things get done, or if they don't then I try to just not stress about it. I am praying that you will have a deeply blessed Christmas season and that you will know Emmanuel, the God who IS with us, in a new and deeper way.Charm and Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930920593855400694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-21263683311638925992016-12-06T02:51:00.632-05:002016-12-06T02:51:00.632-05:00Wish I could stop by to admire the tree in person ...Wish I could stop by to admire the tree in person and nibble on a cookie.

I wouldn't have been able to resist!! Speaking of tweaking. I totally re-did one of my trees. It is a skinny silver tree and I had hot pink and turquoise ornaments on it. Didn't thrill me like it did. So I stole some red and silver traditional and homemade ornaments from the big tree, and like it much better! xo DeborahDeborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-37491967676110493132016-12-05T19:34:59.442-05:002016-12-05T19:34:59.442-05:00You did a fine job of decorating and I like the ru...You did a fine job of decorating and I like the rustic appeal of the barrel. I would have no will power if pretty turtle chocolates turned up at my door. Our oldest daughter was bragging to me recently she's had no sweets/chocolate for two months now.

I am praying tomorrow I am more productive.<br /><br />Seeing your tree brings me such joy!<br /><br />I may not even decorate this year, haha, shocking, right? Me? The Seasonal Overachiever? Hubs says I shouldn't if I don't want to. Youngest daughter says she's bringing baby over late tomorrow afternoon and motivating me while she gets it started while I hold Vivian. (She is an angel for even thinking of me when she has her own things to do.) I may have to give her a paycheck if she does! : - )<br /><br />Have a blessed Advent, dear friend.

My husband loves to tease me about it. Your tree looks so pretty -- merry and bright -- and I really like the barrel you're using as a tree stand. I remember you having your tree in a trunk last Christmas.<br /><br />The turtles look delicious; I just can't seem to stay away from sweets these days. ;) I hope you have a good weekend, my friend.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Denise at Forest ManorDenisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01235440820949449634noreply@blogger.com
