O Christmas Tree


O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!
In beauty green will always grow
Through summer sun and winter snow.
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
How lovely are your branches!

 
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
You are the tree most loved!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
You are the tree most loved!
How often you give us delight
In brightly shining Christmas light!
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
You are the tree most loved!











O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Your beauty green will teach me
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Your beauty green will teach me
That hope and love will ever be
The way to joy and peace for me.
O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,
Your beauty green will teach me.

Back in the Day

My name is Lindy and I'm a blogaholic. 

It's true.  

Right now I'm out of town, without my camera cord and feeling a little lost.  I've decided if I could just post SOMETHING I'd feel much better.  

So why not re-post some things from "back in the day."  Back in the day when I was blogging away and only a handful of dear, dear readers were reading (and before I learned to turn the flash off on my camera).

Here are a couple of earlier posts that didn't get much love... except from me. They are some of my favorites so I'm sharing them here with you again.  I hope you enjoy them...

And this one did get a lot of love but is still one of my favorites...

I don't know about you but I'm feeling much, much better now.

Christmas Kitchen

I'm glammin' up my kitchen for Christmas.  

My first project is this cabinet that holds some of my glassware.  





It's a great spot to display something fun!  








The Christmas trees are made out of white card stock.  I'm planning a tutorial on how to make them including patterns for next week.



I made these handsome guys out of empty bottles.


  I found the inspiration for them in an old craft magazine.





One of the snowgirls is wearing my favorite Christmas quote...

"I used to be Snow White, but I drifted." -- Mae West

There's Birds on my Christmas Mantel!




 Oh, thank goodness -- my Christmas mantel is done.  Call 911 because, of course, the rest of the house looks like a glitter bomb went off.  But, the mantel is done and I'm hooking up with sweet Layla @ *The Lettered Cottage* for a party!


My friend, Paula, gave me the bird cage and adorable ornaments for Christmas.  She has great taste.

I was so excited I decided to do my mantel a little different this year using her gift and birds I gathered from around the house.  




I popped the painting out of its frame ("popped" really makes it sound easier than it actually was) and hung letters I made from 
cardboard and glitter on the wire. 



I threw some "snow" on the logs in the fireplace.






















It was fun doing something a little different this year!
