Cutie Pie and Puppy Breath

I came across this sweet image in my collection, it had been cut out and put in a victorian scrapbook I purchased long ago. The paper is so old in the scrapbook, it falls apart when you touch it. They used flour and water paste back then. Imagine that! Now, there is a zillion glues on the market.

I have seen it before,,out there,,somewhere,,maby Dover,,,hummm. Anyhow, I scanned it on some "new" K&Co. paper for you to use . The white spots are just from age, and I don't know how to get rid of them, maby you do. So many of the old paper art is reproduced now, and I don't have the time or inclination to do the research, so use at your own risk anything that you see on my blog. I will share more of the scraps.

I think I will escape to the craft room today, husband said something about football and a three stooges marathon....he needs an escape too I guess. I smile at the little boy in my 61yr. old man.

 A good relaxing way to start the New Year.

Enjoy your day.

A Happy New Year Friends!!!

The Feathered Nest, A Gift, A Happy Dance

Another sweet giveaway gift, from My Fairy-Blog-Mother, and yours.
It was like winning the lottery, as I never dreamed in a million years my # would come up.
Then her giving spirit showered me with "extra" treasures.
 See the clothes pins, they are true friends.
 I adore it all to pieces.
Thank you Miz Dawn.

Thank you so much Donna!

Merry Christmas

Father Knows Best Christmas

      Do you remeber the episode......... when they went to the mountians and got snowed in.

They made ornaments from paper and nature, and came together as a family.

Here is a partial clip, the only one I could find.

Turn off my music at the bottom first.

Ideals Magazine Christmas 1955

I searched all over the internet for special Nativity images for this post...I  was not getting anywhere. I wanted some that were new to me, and hopefully to you.

 I became still, and "suddenly" I remembered the old Ideals on the shelf.

Many times, most times, the thing you need is right in front of you.

This is not a new experience for me, I know the lesson well. I get off track, forget,,

I'm All crooked, like this image below,

especially when we are struggling in some way,,,, so I will try to remember to be still, and know that God is always holding my hand, and will lead me back on the path like the child that I am.

I thank God everyday,, as,, I am a real mess on my own.

The most undescribable Gift of God's Love is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I can only imagine what the "stillness" of that night felt like...I will know one day.
