As I stated a few postings earlier, many of the same decorations remain from year to year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have storage unit full of decorations that I can't begin to find room for, thus the reason </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for sending some to Houston with my daughter and family when they left from Thanksgiving</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
visit this year. Always wonderful to hand things down that are appreciated by someone dear</div>

It's always been a real gift to my life that my children have enjoyed my decorating in our </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
home. Even as small children, all of their friends would comment on my decor, invite</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
me to come decorate their homes and they always expressed their "likes". I'll never forget</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the neighborhood my children grew up in, their friends who had such honor and respect</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for our home and for the way that we did things there. One boy made certain that everyone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who entered our home "knew that they should remove their shoes first". He was also the one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who loved the smell of the scented candles that I continually burned. Amazing what even </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
children will notice, isn't it? Worth paying attention to, in my book.</div>

When my youngest son left home, he came back and stated, "Wow, Mom and Dad. You guys were </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
amazing how well you took care of our home. Dad was always fixing things up and the yard work </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
was always done and kept up. You guys took such interest in making sure that we had a very nice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
environment to grow up in! Not everyone is like that! Did you know that? I can tell you I sure do </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
appreciate it even more now that I've lived in a few other places and seen how others treat their </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
homes!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

ends meet. We've been there and know what it's like to be lacking severely. I see so many young ones</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who want to start out with what we have now, after we've been at it for forty some years. Patience is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

required and so many don't have that. I have to confess that there were many times when we didn't </div>

<br /></div>

So much change I'd like to introduce in this office space and it all takes time and energy</div>

My little eight year old granddaughter that was here just this past Thanksgiving</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Absolutely fell in love with all of my articles displayed on my office walls. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She inquired "more than once" if Grandma would make these outfits for her too!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There are two of them, created by my youngest two children in their school days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's so interesting to see each of their different and unique ideas for a mask that they were instructed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To create in one of their art classes.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Interesting? There were two earrings, one on each ear and I woke up one morning and the one </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earring was fallen on the bed in the room. At the same time, little strand of jewels she'd made</div>

For a book of mine, fell apart on my desk.</div>

These doors, my daughter and I when searching for and found in a salvage yard / flea market a few</div>

Years ago. 1993, to be exact. </div>

I find creative, inexpensive ways to DECORATE every year. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have boxes and boxes of brand new DECORATIONS that I've not even had space enough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to use yet and somehow, these little "self made ideas" seem to "hit my spot" better than the</div>

Old Christmas tins I've bought through the years. When I buy, I usually buy in bulk, so I have left</div>

over for "whatever and whenever". Anyone else do the same?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at everything around my home, just like I'd hoped she would. I leave these little "goodies" out year </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
round, hoping that someone who drops by will find them to be as "whimsical" as I do. Abby didn't</div>

My one and only Mr. Santa comes out this year, just for Abby. I would not have pulled him from</div>

the boxes of storage this year, otherwise. It's delightful to fill someone else's heart with DELIGHT!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we had to fill this tall decanter with all of my grandson Ethan's crayons from years ago. He is </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
fourteen years old now and I'm sure no longer would find all his crayons a point of interest. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But Grandmother still has a "storage full of memories" from these crayons on display. </div>

Just what do you find to do indoors all through the fall, winter, spring ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until summer comes 'round, once more?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, it matters not what the seasons are ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The days continue on and something will require our attention,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our love, our forgiveness, our work, our playtime,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our worship, praise and prayer!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, yes! These are NOT seasonal,</div>

But are necessary and vital to be ALIVE at all times!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yes, this is US. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the "big question" at the beginning of 2016 - for us - and for you: "What will you ASK of the </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heavenly Father in this New Year?"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Perhaps you are in the place that I was for most of my young, religiously educated life. I didn't know </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that part of our relationship with God, is that He commands us to come before Him and to ask of Him, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in His Sons' Name, whatsoever we will.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had no idea, no right,Biblical knowledge to tell me that God wants us to "ask of Him". How about </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, read the Word and then tell us, are you being prompted by the Holy Spirit to "ask" in a way </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that you never have been before? Do you have a new comfort in asking, now that you've found the </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
scriptures to back you up in the Word? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thinking of you.</div>

You can never have enough SNOWFLAKES for winter decorating or enough twine!</div>

We search for twine of many varieties. Great for gift wrapping those special gifts any time of the year.</div>

My "more than likely" last project of 2015. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, you never really know. This was a total accident.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was so wanting a piece of wood just like this about a week ago but didn't have time to go shopping </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one. Moving that old buffet in the background, I noticed a backboard barely hanging on the back, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which I realized did NOT need to remain attached ….</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes! It worked absolutely perfectly for what I was imagining!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love it.</div>

So, here's hoping and praying that you had a wonderful Christmas with family and perhaps friends. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I don't know why but my mind has spent much time over these last several days, pondering all that relates to our American way of doing Christmas and I've been wondering just how many families were able to celebrate the holidays in the way that they would have liked to this year. I guess I find myself doing a deep cleaning "examination of my own life kind of thing"these days; wondering and praying about changes I need to make in order to see myself become more of what my imagination tells me I'd like to be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Change is not always easy. Not usually easy. Most often very uncomfortable and challenging. It's making ourselves step into things that we've never done before, causing us to become something we've maybe never been before and going places where we may not have been bold enough or curious enough to venture into, in the past. Sometimes it means an intentional effort to create within ourselves an interest that doesn't come naturally for us but one that needs to be a part of our lives. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Whatever you're looking at today, as we head toward another New Year - 2016 - may the LORD direct your thoughts, your contemplations and yes, even your imaginations. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I BELIEVE we can always do more, always strive for better and always improve our quality of life. That's what I BELIEVE he would have us to involve ourselves in this coming year. What can we do to make things more exciting, workable, profitable and beneficiary for ourselves and for those around us; for our children, grandchildren, friends, neighbors and beyond? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe we all need a "special page" in our 2016 Daily Planners for just this kind of reveling! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I plan to create one in mine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
God bless you all as you do your little soul search.</div>

Well, Rugged Country Collections was a little bit neglected this past 2014. So much went on with family this past year and little attention was able to be directed to something that I truly was passionate about. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I look back, I wonder how that could happen. How did everything get so far removed from me? It took ministering, sharing much with Trunk Treasures/Teaching Moments with Izzy Herriette & Co and then nearly half of the year spent on family who encountered illness; including myself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you know, we don't believe in "illness, sickness or disease and malady". We believe in the Cross of Jesus Christ that stand as our deliverance from all such evils. (Is 53)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So, we are headed into 2015 with great hope, faith and love; first for the Father who took such awesome care of us in 2014, second for keeping His promises to us and third but not last, for being so close to us as we walked daily through the past year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Everything we experience, as we cling to Him, becomes a "rose" of sweet smell and beauty. It is our lives unfolding before us. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
How we SEE it all … depends upon our faith and trust in Him and His Word. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's to your great 2015!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My large, large, extremely large candle stand that I've had for well over ten years now, adds that "rustic" look, with the fluted heavy glass and the RUST stand. Fill with homemade bars of soap, tags, roping, and a few Christmas balls (Dollar Tree) and I'm feeling right at home - RUGGED!</div>
