Moments of Peace and Wonder
Wishing you a Magical Holiday Celebration and Peace on Earth!
Busy now with the usual wrapping presents, making cookies, and cleaning the Castle for our Merry Christmas/Festivus activities weekend. We are very excited to be enjoying much laughter and relaxing time with The King, The Royal Princess, The Prince, and
our Littlest Angel. (Well...most of the time she is... Oh that little smartypants!) Maybe we will get a bit of snow too!
May peace expand in your heart, and magic shine in your eyes, while you spend time with those you love amongst the twinkling lights.
Pray for Peace for all of us.

Quickest Christmas Tree Ever!!! Plus A Magical Fairy Chandelier
So here it is... the easiest tree I have ever decorated for Christmas! Usually it takes two full days and evenings to light and fill my tree with all the meaningful and delicate German glass ornaments I have collected over the years. This year due to the combination of a medical problems that cause fatigue, and a toddler who has hit the terrible twos, I had to create a safe and easy tree. Using floral vines leftover from our wedding wrapped around a pre-lit tree, plastic bubble balls, a bit of sparkling hard rusty ribbon and a few glittery butterflies....Wah-lah! Done in an hour or two and will come apart in minutes! If you need a quick tree fix...this is it. Long floral vines make the process easy and elegant! Plus they can be purchased in many color combination's to suit your decor.
Oh I know... now you want to see that Fairy Chandelier up close...
I made this Chandelier last Christmas because our Mucha Foyer deserved something magical! This year I added the white flowers.
Pulled together from sparkly twigs, an old glittery wreath turned upside down, a beveled glass tree topper and some other sparkly bits n' bobs. This was all attached to wires hooked to those three screws that are on flush mounted ceiling lights. I suppose I could keep adding flowers, twigs, moss and feathers all year long, spicing it up according to the seasons. If I do this I will document it and let you see what becomes of my hanging Faerie world luminary. Yea! I never took apart last years outside front door garland, so I just hung it from the mantle. Now everything looks festive with little effort.
Have a stress free, easy and enchanting Holiday!

A Chilly Peaceable Kingdom
I see so many of my blogging friends both in this country and around the world have had snow already! It was bitter cold here with winds for four days, but no snow for us. The car is acting up because it does not like the cold at all. Apparently neither does Ben or his Ipod, especially if he leaves it in the car. I am just trying to stay warm and cozy while I create and learn more Photoshop in the Castle studio.This mini peaceable kingdom digital scrapbook page reminds me of my Christmas dogs of yore, and their happy smiling faces. I just loved those furry beings. Hope you are starting to get the warm and fuzzies this Season of Peace. I really think I need to bake some cookies...mmmmmmmm
