I started my morning off slow yesterday. I sat and drank coffee, read blog and emails. I was having an email conversation with Sandra and she mentioned the life insurance issue. It occured to me that I never mentioned on here that I finally got everything finished and the check has come. It wasn't a huge amount but any extra is helpful right now. I owe Grace a huge thanks for all her help in getting that squared away.
I finished that project I mentioned the other day. I had intended to use a snowflake for the O in joy but couldn't find the ones I thought I had so a star was used instead.
It now sits here.
I painted the outside edge red and then used an antique wax that I had in my stash to do the center. It was a little darker than I liked so I sanded it up a bit before adding the letters, star and bow. Thanks Pam for the the inspiration

You did a fine job with your JOY and have created a charming tableau. Pleased for you that it's just rain and not snow that arrived.
Love your joy piece. It is 'joyful'.
Glad you got the insurance problem finished. A little is better than nothing, it all helps.
Happy Christmas holidays ~ FlowerLady
it really is beautiful and it matches the wreath and lamp perfectly. I love the way they all look together. I like the star more than a snowflake. perfect. good job on your day off... we are at 56 right now which is brrr cold weather for us. loving it and we get 2 days of it tomorrow and Thursday all the way to 50... but bright sun during the day.
It is so sweet. These two look perfect together as well. I remember when my mom died, I had a fit with the insurance. So I am very glad yours went well.
Hooray! I'm so glad you got the insurance thing sorted out! Grace is amazing that way, isn't she? Very helpful from far away.
I was meaning to ask but I didn't think they would come through so quickly - Yay!! Aside from your having to drive to Erie, it turned out easy-peasy, didn't it? I'm so happy for you, got you a little breathing room, I hope.
So rustic and beautiful Ann

Glad you got one more thing off your plate. Good for you and yes a little extra money always helps. I'll be so glad when your mortgage is paid off. That will be the ticket.
Love the Joy. That star works very well.
Have a fabulous day, Ann. Big hug to you and scritches to Gibbs. ♥♥♥
Thanks. The snow came over night. I woke up to a couple inches on the ground
Thanks. I'm glad the insurance thing is finally over
Me too. Love our Grace. She is a amazing
Yes it was easy peasy once I knew where to look. Thanks again for all your help. It took them exactly two weeks from the time I mailed it in. I was actually going to call them the next day to see if they had everything and find out where things were. Then there it was in the mail
Thank you. A pretty easy project to put together too
Me too. Just 6 more payments to go. My next one will be due on Dec 1 so then it will be down to just 5
That is BEAUTIFUL Ann. I like the star very much!
That is BEAUTIFUL Ann. I like the star very much!
I like your Joy plaque and the star instead of the letter O is perfect.
That is beautiful! It looks like something I would buy. Wish I had your craftiness. So glad you got a check - it was fast. :)
I'm glad you got that issue all sorted out. Your decorations are so pretty.
