Such as that year I agreed to run Sparks with a pal. You know Sparks? The guiding group that is before Brownies and Guides where the girls are 5 and 6 years old ... They often churned out better crafts than me. And they helped me finish mine. The Happiest of Thanksgivings to you!

One time when we used to do a fresh tree, I explained to hubby that a Christmas tradition was something you knew would happen every year, over and over, and one of ours had become that he would get grumpy about cutting the bottom of the tree, putting it in the stand and putting the lights on! Fortunately we ended that grumpy tradition and now do a fake tree!

I'll leave the crafty to those who are, and buy from them! My daughter told me the other day Pinterest now has subfolders, so I can sink into a deeper, darker hole and put these pins into Crafty - Dining Room; Crafty - Living Room, etc., etc. now for my organized, ridiculous self.

All my neighbors in our cul-de-sac did yesterday too - we didn't cuz we had plans with our adorable grand daughter yesterday. She trumps anything EVER when we get to see her cute chubbiness!<br /><br />I love all the centerpiece inspiration you shared today - I think my favorite is that pear one - something about it is really stunning, but they ALL are. I don't use red in my decor and always green, perhaps it is that.<br /><br />I cannot even wrap my head around it being the end of this year already when it feels as though it should be mid-May. I am digging my heels trying to stop Father Time going so fast. I've worn out several shoes doing so. It's NOT working.<br /><br />♥<br /><br /><br /><br />Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-459018932772057756.post-5185454691446748262017-11-19T08:52:02.938-08:002017-11-19T08:52:02.938-08:00Only 27 arguments?
