With Sincere Appreciation

I am sending out my sincere appreciation to each and everyone who commented in my previous post. (And to those who read and prayed for me.)  I cannot even begin to tell you how much your prayers and caring have meant to me. I am truly feeling them! That post was hard for me to write….I am a fairly private person and I don’t discuss my problems, in general. But, somehow I knew you all would reach out to me and pray.

I am doing much better and I feel stronger in the last day or so. Again, thank you! My blogger friends are absolutely the best. Wow, how honored I feel to know all of you. I will be back to regular posting and commenting in a day or so…..I have a lot of catching up to do.

Sending my blessings to all of you!

Merry Christmas, Barb

Just A Note and Merry Christmas!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to check in and say how much I have missed all of you. I am going through a very difficult time in my life at present and I’m having a fairly rough time. We can’t choose our timing for problems because I certainly wouldn’t choose this time of the year! But, all will be well. I have a strong and abiding faith in God.

I want to wish each and everyone of you a blessed and wonderful Christmas holiday. May your wishes come true. I will be back shortly….just need a bit more time. Merry Christmas!

Hugs, Barb

Christmas Nutcracker Tablescape

    Hello and welcome in to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch. Please visit her blog for a list of participants and all the lovely tablescapes for this week.

 

The dinner plates, salad plates and soup bowls are part of the Christopher Radko collection which I purchased at Target three years ago, the chargers are from HomeGoods,  the placemats are from Ross, the napkins are from HomeGoods, the napkin rings are from Hobby Lobby, the golden flatware is Reed and Barton, the stemware I have had for years, The Nutcrackers are part of a rather large collection that I mass some years and spread over the house during other years….I think they make such a ‘happy’ centerpiece.

I am a huge fan of nutcrackers and decided to make some of my collection a centerpiece for my Christmas tablescape.

Thank you so much for coming by and visiting with me. You are always so very welcome!
