***Life Just Happens!***The CHRISTMAS Preparations are on!***

Hello to all my sweet Followers and Friends.

Oh I am really so remiss...I did plan to come in and

wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving last week...but once again

my LIFE got in the way.

The Sunday before Thanksgiving I broke off

a huge piece of a tooth...and by Tuesday it was throbbing!!!

Well...I marched over to my dentist because I knew I

needed drugs to get me through till my appointment I had

on Black Friday.  That appointment was originally for a crown prep and

ended up being a Temporary fix for a root canal.
Which I am now seeing an Endodentist for...ugh!

Needless to say my mouth has been bothering

me ever since and I have had to trudge along.

Why at the times when I need to be well, do I seem to

get infections? This is a struggle I have lived with for

so long, that at times it catches up with me and just gets me down.

In this midst of this life happens...

Christmas goodies...

Mom and Dad arriving today and

trying to decorating my home for the

Christmas Season.

SEE...I told ya...life happens...lol

Before I start...
 I wanted to share with you a few cute pix of my

sweet companions...Tiger and Chloe!

They certainly bring me JOY in the midst

of struggles.

Tiger looks like a King on his perch!

This is how Chloe looked sitting beside me,

purring her heart out...just before I got up to

go into our office and write this post!

Could'nt resist...its too precious!

Yesterday was a WET day here in the Metro D...

I finally got over to my friends shop in Belleville. 

 She is close to opening and

weve been trying to coordinate painting her

window a number of times.

SO I finally started yesterday, painting on her Shoppe windows.

Here's a sneak peak of what I've done so far.

This is a bay window...she has two of these in front and

I will be painting them both the same on the inside.

Then, weather permitting I will be painting

the outside as well.

I really had a hard time getting a good picture...

As you can see I have my painted my roses,

fluffy hydrageas and white wisteria.

This was quite a challenge as I could not

move my canvas around like I would with an

item I paint that is smaller.

But Victoria is Happy with it

so...

I am happy!

I also thought you might like a peek at my Mantle all

done up for the Holidays!

I am close to being all done...well

all except our Blue Dining Room.

We have a family event on Saturday so I

decided to hold off in there until the following week.

I'm happy with how it turned out...but have

some tweeking I'd like to do...like

some larger ribbon and bows on the greens and

maybe something on my candles.

Stay tuned..more to come after my

parents return home next week!

Until then...thanks for stopping!

I love your comments!

Be Blessed!
