I bought those years ago for $5.00...
I have enjoyed using them for Christmas...
and they work for my Winter décor too.
Double Whammy!
My Willow Creek Nativity is finally up...
Its just not Christmas without it.
Around here...
Christmas begins with it..

The old blue piece that it sits on....
My hubby made 25 years ago.
He is such a great carpenter...

Its one of my favs...
I have painted it many times...
and it has traveled around the world with us...
I am determined to keep things simple this year....
My living area fireplace.....
Loving it!
My Dining area..
The old door that hangs sideways...
came out of a an old church....

It holds my old pitchers and farm baskets....
I love adding a little nativity in unexpected places...

I will always remember....
"Jesus is the reason for the season"...
My big tree....
It is going to be very simple this year...
