Christmas Tour Part II


I have added a new tree this year.   A cupcake themed kitchen tree!  I sat last night and made row after row of garlands out of mini cupcake liners.  This tree makes me happy every time I look at it.


There are little tiny kitchen utensils, candy canes, and ice cream cones mixed in with the cupcakes.  Pastel tiny Christmas lights makes it all sparkle!


Little desserts peek out from within the branches as do tiny striped balls that remind me of candy.


During my picture snapping, my friend Char stopped by.  She brought me this wonderful pink flocked, glitter coated deer she found at the resale shop she works at.


My happy shout turned into tears of joy as she gave me with this vintage Zondervan box of scripture cards.  I have always wanted one of these.  Do you see the title? "Daily Manna Promise Box"  I just love it!  Thank you Char!

Joyfully,

  6. How cute! I love your skinny tree. They tuck in the corners so beautifully. I have had such luck finding the sweetest little apostle, prayer and hymn books with some of the nicest inscriptions. Some so old the pages can be seen through. Your little devotions are fantastic. Enjoy them...everyday! Renee

  13. My Grandmother has a promise box very similar to yours. So many memories! Love your trees. Cannot imagine how long it must take to set them all up but I bet it is so much fun!!! The cupcake ornaments are too cute. I did a candyland theme in my kitchen this year, so that really appealed to me. Your mom's garland from the post above is so precious!
