I am having a health problem that has really slowed me down . Black Friday was really a black Friday for me I had a stroke , due to my diabetes and it has affected my eyes. Not driving since I am seeing double out of one eye and can't seem to eye very well out of the other. My eye specialist said the nerve in my eye will regenerate with 4 months so I can see normal again. In the mean time I am adjusting to not being able to run all day and visit and shop.I can see up close just not over a foot away without being cross eyed like.
My very good friends Jo & Gary and church friends have been driving me to appointments. Which I am not use to having to have someone help me. I usually am the one helping drive others around.
Now here is some things I managed to get on my tree yesterday. I have been looking around at some blogs and the pictures are breathtaking so beautiful of their Christmas decorations.
I have so many Christmas decorations I usually change from year to year. When My friends Jo & Gary were here Monday they brought up some boxes for me to use and this is some of them that I am using this year. This first little ornament is from my all white tree last year
I think I bought these ice skates at TJ Maxx this year early
I love my white bottle brush trees I got all 3 one year at an antique mall for $7.50 for you bargain shoppers you will understand. The little white snow people was on last years tree also.
This is a shelf on my bookcase, with work to still be done
My tree this year , I just put on it what was in the boxes my friends brought up for me. It all looks so pretty together
My glass garland I bought at Country Living fair in Atlanta Georgia last year
I am still working on it so will post more pictures later
had to put some garland over my favorite painting

So sorry you are having health problems, hope you have a quick recovery. I love your Christmas decor, I love the white bottle brush tree (I have one just like it). The little bottle brush wreath is adorable.
ReplyDeleteMs. Janice. I am so glad you are getting along. Please, do not over do. Christmas will come again and again. I just posted about Sissy Dogs visit to Santa Clause, be sure and drop by. Marilyn's father died last night so she is off to California. Nancy and I might have to step in for Haine's teachers party. Always something. Business comes and goes, today it is gone......Richard from My Old Historic House.
