Text of the page (random words):
e the furniture in the room has remained the same for a few years and i ve been wanting to try something different in the line of furniture arrangement amanda and i spent one afternoon moving and placing and moving stuff again i m still trying to decide if i like it but it s staying this way for now here s a couple of before pictures our living room is very long so i thought i d try to cozy it up by making two seating areas i moved the love seat to the left of this little sitting area rather than having it in front of the window like in the first picture above the mission rocker came out of the corner to in front of the window with the other chair the table in the middle is the one i found at a yard sale and refinished this summer i moved the sofa table behind the love seat to break up the room and moved the blanket chest that was in front of the other sofa to the space where the table was these picnic baskets are in the corner where the mission rocker used to be some things didn t change at all like the commode under the blanket shelf that s my grandmother with some of her letters she received while in college she s been on the sofa table for a while maybe it s time to change some of those things too next time i have the time energy and inspiration we ll be getting into our busy season at work so i most likely won t be able to post as often as i have been not that i ve posted that often well i guess that s all for now thanks to those of you who stop by and read my blog and take the time to comment you add sunshine to my day just by dropping by hugs to you birgit tuesday december 14 2010 memory tree hello friends just thought i d jump on here for a few minutes and share some pictures of our christmas memory tree this year i created our first memory tree last year as i was trying to come up with something new and different for our little tree since last year i was decorating very vintage y i printed off some black and white photo s of family members who are no longer with us as well as old photo s of my mom dad when they were young everyone in my family loved looking at the old photo s and many of the photo s sparked memories and stories shared by my parents and uncle now i m thinking this is going to be tradition as i enjoy having the old pictures out to enjoy all the time they make me smile as i think of warm memories of my grandparents my oma from germany and other family members that i d never even met but wished i could have like my opa who was killed in the war when my mom was a child this year i ll be adding hunter to our memory tree as he was just as much a part of our family this is oma my grandmother from germany i remember her always smiling and laughing she was the most jolly person i think i ve ever known she was just a tiny thing not even five feet tall she couldn t speak any english at all but we communicated just fine when she lauged her whole body shook and tears always came out her eyes she could make me laugh just by listening to her giggle oma came to visit us from her home in germany only a few times but when she came she stayed for what seemed like months at a time the time always went by too quickly when i was a little girl i remember oma watching sesame street with me and even though she couldn t understand what was being said she d giggle and laugh through the entire show her favorite character was oscar the grouch and that year for christmas my mom gave her an oscar the grouch puppet complete with trash can oh how she laughed and laughed when she opened that gift we all enjoyed so much laughter when she was with us she would say funny things trying to say them in english and make silly rhymes with made up words she enjoyed playing cards with us and she would put down a heart and say heartz shmeartz doo deartz crazy but so memorable that s my oma this is my oma and my mother when she was a little girl the picture on the left is of me hugging my grandpa when i was a teenager this was taken on christmas eve little did we all know that this would be our last christmas with our grandpa the pretty young girl on the right is my mom when she was a girl that was taken at her confirmation in the picture to the left is my aunt uncle and my dad when they were all young my dad is the one of the right in the picture on the bottom left is my great grandmother my grandpa s mother my grandmother is in the bottom picture on the right daryl s grandmother is in the picture on the left and another picture of my mom as a young woman here s our memory tree filled with love laughter smiles and many many memories i just wanted to add that i would love for anyone to use this idea and make a memory tree of their own it s a wonderful way to share our heritage and memories with family and friends i d love to see your memory tree so leave me a post if you make one too here s a couple pictures of our front porch just thought i d include them on this post too i also wanted to let you all know how much i enjoy and appreciate reading your comments they bring sunshine into my days and always make me smile when i think about the kindness of people whom i ve never even met before you make my day brighter by your thoughtfulness and i just wanted to say thanks and send you a big christmas cyber hug thanks so much for stopping by i hope your christmas is filled with many blessings and many happy new memories made hugs birgit sunday december 5 2010 simple christmas touches it s beginning to look a lot like christmas everywhere you go well here in our little home it s beginning to look like christmas as well what a wonderful weekend we ve had too amanda and i went to two christmas shows this weekend saturday evening we went to our churches christmas spectacular show and it truly was spectacular singing songs that bring praise to our god and the birth of our savior lest we should ever forget that without sounding cleche jesus is the reason for the season then this afternoon after church we went to see the play of a christmas carol put on by our local community little theater oh boy another spectacular event back to work i go tomorrow i have another busy week ahead of me with work bible study christmas shopping and another show on friday with my mom and dad since it s going to be a busy week i thought i d post pictures this evening of some of our christmas decorating my decorating is never the same twice so i have to think outside of my norm every year to come up with something different i ve always decorated with lots of snowmen and santa s and vintage toys but this year i simplified using mostly greens and lights and little touches here and there also because i ve been putting in so many hours at work it s hard for me to find the time when i m home because i ve always got laundry vacuuming and house cleaning to do sit back with a little cup o somethin warm and enjoy your visit i m glad you re here we ll start in the living room with our mantel it s my biggest challenge every year i don t know why i have such a hard time but i do i m in awe of the gift that so many bloggers have for decorating i just don t have that gift nor do i have the wonderful collections of prims to decorate with so i do my best with what i have simple very simple almost too much so i feel like it s missing something but i don t know what i m still searching my boxes to see what i can add to it to make it better this is a little pouting chair that my sweetie made the iron candle holder is one that i got at an auction several years ago the old trunk was one that we rescued from the side of the road on trash pick up day can you believe someone was just throwing this little beauty out oops i see i forgot to clean off the little side table oh well our house is lived in that s what it normally looks like notice the little bowl of fixins around the candle colleen from baby makes five gave me two bags of them when she came to our open house as most of you probably already know colleen makes the best salt dough ornies i ve ever seen she has perfected her painting technique and everything about them is just stunning so stunning that you have seen her wonderful tutorials in the new a primitive place magazine aren t they wonderful thank you again colleen i think of you with a smile and warm heart everytime i look at them i m needing to get me some more christmas greens and berries to add to this stoneware pitcher you get the idea though see the little rocking chair off to the right that was mine when i was a little girl the photo is of daryl s grandparents in their younger years i love it because it was taken in front of an old walgreens shop grampa was wearing his military uniform and grammy was dressed in her sunday best the candle is one that i grunged up and i made the bark covered vase with greens and berries a few weeks ago with some of my crafting friends in this picture you see my grandmothers college photo and some of her old letters in their original envelopes with postage laying on the table in front of it i found the two pictures above the table at different times but they both compliment each other with their sepia toned coloring i also like that they are both of shepherds jesus the shepherd boy and a shepherd leading his flock of sheep if any of you know the names of these or any iformation i would love to hear about them the picnic basket on the bottom of the stack belonged to my grandparents as well it has their names written inside the cover the old mission rocking chair belonged to my great grandfather it s one of my most cherished pieces now we ll go into our entry way it s such a hard room to photograph because it s so narrow but i ll do my best see the old wooden skis in the corner my hubby found those in the basement of a building they were gutting out they were going to the dumpster the two stitched pillows were made by my dear sweet friend heather in utah she s a wonderful stitcher here s a little bit of our dining room i m still in the process of decorating in here but i ll show you what i ve gotten done so far my hubby made the wall box fashioned after some we d seen at a cash and carry show the wool mitten has a little crow tucked inside i ve got some greens to add to the top of the big red stepback cupboard i made the noel banner a few years ago i m still trying to find the right christmas centerpiece for the table the settle my sweetie made got a little homespun stocking and snowlady now let s go into the kitchen some vintage linen towels i picked up at a garage sale the gingerbread men are some that i made a few years ago more ginger s in an old salt box with old blue paint i m also on the lookout for some greens to add to the cupboard above our stove the little gingerbread man here was made by my mom quite some time ago she s always surprised to see all the things i ve kept over the years guess that s all i have for now next time i ll post some outdoor pictures of our porch i finally got all the pumpkins and corn stalks taken down and put up some chrismas greens and such before i go i wanted to say thank you to all of you who left such sweet and comforting thoughts on the loss of our furbaby hunter reading your words of kindness is always a comfort and joy to me blogging friends are wonderful thanks for visiting and hugs and blessings to you
