My Favorite Things Party


Walking

It's the simple things in life that bring us the most pleasure. And coffee does it for me.

Shopping. Anywhere.

It's A Wonderful Life

Christmas Cone


Next step was to find my button box and dig around for some buttons that I could use. Some old, some new.
Dug around for some lace and trim...

And then I started to embellish. I really liked how it turned out. I was so happy I had the tiny string pearls on hand...they gave just the right finishing touch to the cone. And the buttons worked well, too. I punched holes on both sides and used some tulle as the handle. I also stuck some tulle inside the cone...and now it's ready to hang and enjoy or to use as a Christmas gift bag!

Church Bulletin Bloopers
Remember those church bulletin bloopers we've all seen? Things like "food panty" instead of pantry and things like that?
Well, this church lady can attest that such bloopers actually do happen (I've even done the "panty" one).
Last evening I went to my church office to do a funeral bulletin for a little old lady from our congregation who passed away. Her funeral was this morning. On the back of all my funeral bulletins, I like to write a little obituary. Something just a bit different than the ones you might find in a newspaper. Wellllllll........
When it came time to write about her marriage, my line said, "She was untied in marriage to..."
Noooooooooooo! It's suppose to be united, Nancy!!! Argh!
How dreadfully embarrassing! DH said nobody else seemed to notice it. I wasn't able to attend the funeral due to my other job. But dh sang in the men's choir and as he was sitting in the choir loft reading the obit, he had to exercise some extra control because he wanted to burst out laughing!
I do hope nobody else noticed!!
