Neat to think a friend so far away is reading and pondering the same scriptures and praying.<br />I love your wreath. That was a blessing to the dear lady & you too. Perfect timing.<br />I can't imagine a 9' tree. We have done the table tree the last few years too. But since we are home this year and have children coming, we will go scanvengering for a tree in the woods here.<br />Your mitten garland is a wonderful idea. Especially because of the<br />story behind each mitten. You were smart to hold on to items you have that are reminders of those who have come before us. I have a few special things, but not nearly as much as you. <br />I'm too wordy today!

I am sure you helped a wonderful person by showing kindness. More of us should do the same! I love that you have kept all those mittens thru the years. Another idea would be to attached each on a quilt square and make a beautiful mitten quilt/throw to bring out each year. Love them as a garland too!

You said you needed more decorations! It'll either look great of it'll look silly. But it sounded like an idea to try!<br /><br />I think it's neat that you've kept them all these years - we don't really do mittens down here - if we need anything it's usually gloves. More than likely, they're usually not needed unless we get a rare snow...<br /><br />How cool was that about that fellow selling the wreaths??? It reminded me of an old-fashioned Christmas!
