Finally...and I HATE dealing with uploads!!

I'm still not sure why I was having the trouble I was, in uploading this video...but I still have a few hairs left in my head - amazingly enough!




My house is rather small, and we seem to be cramped at times, but it is HOME. Thegrandson has taken over what was once a "sitting room" - for all his toys...so it appears cluttered.


I wanted to explain about the Christmas pictures I have on the one shelf. I have five in a series of 7 collectible prints by Fran Lagana-Brooks. If you click on "View the Series" - I have the "Weeping Santa" collection. What fascinated me most when I first saw her works, was that she incorporated Santa with the baby Jesus. There are not too many offerings such as this. But also, there is a "tear" in the eye of either a person or animal in these prints. I take them to be a joyful tear. There are two prints I do not have, but may acquire at some point in time. Thegrandson truly loves to look at them. Someday, I will figure out where and how to display them much better.

One of my fellow bloggers made a video of her home and decorations and I thought that was a great idea. When I was growing up, Christmas decorating was so much fun, and I started collecting ornaments at a very young age. Unfortunately, I lost everything in a fire in '84. I did begin investing in Santa's after that. My Santa's have to have eyes that appeal to me, and I have received several from friends, that are stowed away, because their eyes are rather evil looking. Maybe I am just too particular. I have 5 Santa's in fantastic robes and outfits, but are over two feet tall, and I just do not have anyplace to put them - or they would be on display for sure.

So, on with the Season, hope everyone is faring well, and I will be back later.........

Thanks for dropping by.
