Scavenger Hunt Sunday - December 14, 2014

Hello! - If you are dropping in for "Good Fences" just click on the link to be taken to that post.

I am so "behind" on commenting that it isn't even funny.  Just know I am enjoying your posts and will try to comment as time allows.

Joining in with Ashley (Ramblings and Photos) for
SCAVENGER HUNT SUNDAY.

This weeks prompts were:  Shiny, Underneath, Decorations, Fresh, and Colorful.




 SHINY:   This wreath had a very "shiny" bow on it.  I love looking at the different wreaths they have for sale at the Christmas Tree lot we visit every year.  We don't buy them though as they are usually way to expensive.




UNDERNEATH:


We just put our tree up yesterday and haven't yet decorated it.  So this morning I stuck some of the stuffed animals Coleen has one in those (claw machines) underneath the tree.  I think they look cute there and they may just stay underneath the tree now.

DECORATIONS:

Part of our yard "decorations."   Notice all the leaves around them.  We had super high winds this past week (Gusts up to 64 mph) and it blew leaves into the yard and whipped the decorations around.  I fastened down several of them more then once that day.

FRESH:

Coleen loves to visit Santa every year and have her picture taken with him.  Just look at the "fresh" happy smiles on their faces.  Such joy.

COLORFUL:

These 2 new Gingerbread ornaments are quite cute and "colorful."  They'll be heading onto the tree very soon.

SHS will be taking a bit of a break until after the New Year so be sure to stop in an let Ashley know how much you enjoy this meme.

    Your lawn ornaments are cute as ever,Ida! Its hard to have lawn ornaments where we live due to all the snow. But we light up our home with pretty white lights. They look so pretty with the snow.
    Merry Christmas to you!

    What a nice, Christmas-sy post! I think "underneath" is my favorite! Lovely photos for all of the words.
    I'm so busy as well that I haven't even blogged this week since Tuesday. But now, with y last holiday fair done, I feel a bit more relaxed.

    Glad your decorations survived the winds. We lost two large "shatterproof" ornaments that were hanging from our eaves. I found one several blocks away, cracked but not shattered. Lots of redecorating and fence mending going on in my neighborhood this week!

    I think those little guys like being under the tree! And the one of Colleen and Santa is delightful.

    Had the choir's Christmas musical at church this morning. Called "Mary, Did You Know?" Husband sings in the choir and they've been practicing this since September. They did a wonderful, inspiring job.

    Blessed third week of Advent!

    I have a shiny bow like that on my wreath! I am lucky enough to have a talented mom who helped me make my own -- because they store ones are beautiful BUT so expensive.
    Love the gingerbread ones! so cute.

    Coleen does have bright eyes and such a happy face! Bless her :) I'm way, way behind on commenting on blogs, as usual. I used to keep up with it, but no more! I'm hoping to stay home today, drink tea, knit, and do nothing but blog read and watch a show or two. Have been WAY too busy in recent weeks! Relax, and enjoy your holiday season :)

    Happy Holidays.
    Nice holiday yard decorations.

    I haven't done any shopping for Christmas and I don't plan to. I have a few earring supplies and plan to make earrings for my loved ones, those will be my gifts, nothing more. I don't do the commercialism of Xmas just keep it simple and remember my blessings and remain in thankfulness.
