Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour

November 29, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

[slideshow_deploy id=’5749′]
Well here we are…In Christmas season, already!!  And it is Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour.
I thought it would be fun to share with some of my new readers my home at Christmas time last year.  It still inspires me while I decorate for this year.
As you enter our home this is what you will find.  Snow Globes, Christmas shelves,  and branches  filled with snow flakes and DIY birdhouses.
On my Thrifted coffee table you will enjoy my grandpa’s croquet box filled with snow flakes, ornaments, candle, and book page cones.  I also included my DIY Chalkboards clipped with painted clothes pins.
I love to collect Nativity sets.  This is the first one I received from a friend when she visited Italy.  I love the look under a cloche.
This “Elf on the Shelf” was my mom’s when she was a child in the 40s.  He has been in our home as long as I can remember.
I painted all of these little birdhouses and found some branches outside.  I love this look and a little bit of personality.
I have 3 Christmas trees this year.  Each has it’s on style for the room that they have found home.
Hubby collects snow globes.  His wish is to have enough for each grand baby to eventually choose their own.  They each play music as well. Pure magic for the grand kiddos.
My view from the kitchen into the living room.
Probably one of my favorite rooms in our home during the Christmas season.  The guest bathroom.  The birdhouse was a gift from my dad.  Doesn’t this look so inviting?
Thanks for joining me today for Field Trip Friday with What Meegan Makes 2012 Christmas Tour.  I hope you enjoyed your stay.  Come back again soon!
Make it a Field Trip Friday!

There is Always Something To Be Thankful For

November 28, 2013 By Meegan 4 Comments

[slideshow_deploy id=’4254′]

 

There is Always Something To Be Thankful For.  That is my mantra for the week.  I try to use it everyday of my life but, this week it was needed a little more.

This week has been one of the hardest weeks I have had in a long time.    My dad was admitted to the hospital with failing health.  I stayed every waking moment with him that I could.

He has kidney failure, heart failure, diabetes, bronchitis, and Parkinson’s.  It is a hard thing to watch someone you love suffer.  It does break your heart.

And, yet I know…

I KNOW this with ALL of my heart.
As I visited and sat with my failing Dad.  I was reminded of the blessing he has been in my life.  The wonderful grandpa he has been to our children and grand-babies.
The bags and bags of groceries he would buy, just because.  The Christmas mornings watching his face watch the kids open presents.  This was priceless.  The Thanksgiving dinners filled with turkey and Honey Baked Ham (his favorite).  The graduations attended, the soccer and football games, the choir concerts, beauty pageants, all with his excitement and glory reveling in his grandchildren.
That is what I am thankful for today.  I am grateful to have spent countless hours just sitting by his side.  Also,listening to each of our nearby children share their love of their Papa.  Words of love, that will forever warm my heart and soul.  Singing from a daughter that will be etched in my heart forever.  I have so much to be thankful for.
I hope and pray I never forget
There is Always Something To Be Thankful For.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.
