Today I had the day off and it was a beautiful sunny day (one of the last I am afraid), so......
I took my Christmas decorating outside!
I loaded up my window boxes with both artificial and real evergreen branches, red berries, sticks and pine cones.
One nice thing about living in the woods is the variety of trees!
I love the different textures and colors of the needles.
Just picturing it snowing!
I also picked up a couple things to giveaway to one of you, (I wish I could give something to each and every one of you), to say thank you for following me, becoming my friends, inspiring me and lifting me during uncertain times.
Below I have picked for you a silver metal Peace sign,
Sign measures 18" x 10"
'Peace' and snowflakes are raised
and three little pillow ornaments which have 'Believe', 'Wish', and 'Joy' embroidered in brown.
The only thing that you need to do is just leave a comment below letting me know that you would like to enter to win!
That's all!
Just a little something to let you know that I am very thankful for all of you!
I will draw the winner next Tuesday, November 23!
Which also happens to be my birthday!
I have a window box that is begging for attention. I'm determined that this year I'll do something with it. Love the look of your's I may just have to copy you a bit if that's ok!
ReplyDeleteI smile every time I see that you posted something even before I see what it is. I think it is because I feel like I get to visit you and see what you are up to. Of course I want to be entered. :)
ReplyDeleteHey there Michelle! Love your window box. I can't believe how fast Christmas is coming this year.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win that adorable sign and mini pillows. Every time I would see them, they would remind me of you! And the message of peace in the hustle and bustle of life is one I need to be reminded of daily.
What beautiful decorations these are. How sweet of you to share them!
