The Princess Chair
~ my alteration and embellishment ~
for a special little Princess at Christmas
{After and Before}
Spray painted, then 3 coats of glitter mixed with matte medium (mod podge works too)
The chair pad I made from a gold leather mini-skirt
found at an estate sale
{of course I bought it for the fabric!}
It is also coated with gold glitter

and below, the Saturday before Christmas I decided how
FUN it would be to have a PUPPET THEATRE
and my dear husband made this for me
that very day.
I painted it and we wrapped it and on Christmas morning
some little ones were quite excited at what they found.
This DEER girl
~ DAZZLE ~
made it through Christmas, which was my prayer.
I haven't talked about it here yet, but the day after Thanksgiving
we had some very sad news: cancer
~ and she won't be with us much longer ~
My heart is breaking, but I know from past experience
that God will help us through this, as hard as it will be.
I cherish every GOLDEN MOMENT we have shared
~ Christmas Day ~
Like every dog owner, my dogs are such a huge part of my life,
and my love for these dear Afghan Hounds shall be eternal.
My husband gave me a most cherished book for Christmas called
"The Heaven of Animals" by Nancy Tillman.
Her illustrations and poem are exceptional, you can find it here.
~ Wishing you all many Golden Moments in 2015 ~
How I hope each one who reads this
will be touched by God's great mercy and grace,
that you too may know his comfort in difficult times
~ and joy eternal ~
His gift of love revealed through Jesus is
Larger than our fears
Deeper than our sorrows
and lasts longer than our temporary afflictions
and the JOY he gives is
E T E R N A L
to those who put their trust in Him

Blessings dear ones,
