Plastic Angel


A recent note from one of my "other sisters" impressed me very much and I quote her message here. She also took the photo of her angel.


"This angel was in my husband's family’s, so she’s about 60 years old. When his mom first gave her to us, 40 years ago, I thought, “She’s plastic,” not the heirloom quality I thought the handpainted one my family had was. Our kids even said, when small, that she looked like a blonde Wonder Woman, but I have come to love her and the Christmas traditions that she represents, and want to share her with all of you! May such treasures and blessings also be yours this season of family, friends love and joy – and the traditions that bring it all – and us – together !"

Holiday James

The Dollar Store had just what I needed for James' holiday attire. The balls and bow and garland all together cost only $7.42. His new hat was made from another sweater that I bought at "The Clothing Closet" a local fire company ladies' auxiliary group that accepts donations. It had not snowed yet, but I knew it would - sometime. It's November 28 and he is ready! Meet Jolly Jaunty James.


Since it hasn't snowed yet, I made snow for him! And then a greeting card, just in case it didn't really snow in time for sending.


December 5 - IT SNOWED!


Greeting cards are finished and sent December 14.
