Christmas Creche Countdown Day 11
Good Morning, Friends. It’s December 11th – and Day 11 of my Creche Countdown! Today I’m featuring one of my recent finds at an antique/flea market in nearby Wichita. I’ve had it a couple weeks – one of the ‘seasonal displays’ people put out in their booths before a new season, you know! Sometimes THIS...
Creche Countdown – Day 10
This 2020 holiday season is ‘different.’ Much has changed and continues to change. There is no ‘normal’ anymore. But, different doesn’t have to be bad. How we respond matters. To the best of my ability, I choose to celebrate what’s ‘different‘ in 2020. I hope you can, too. Remember, there is no...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 9
Well, I’m still sharing my nativities, and I still have more to share! So far, I’ve shared 14 in 8 days. Gonna have to pick up the pace to make it through my collection before I run out of December days! Today, I’ll start with the promised one…my Crude Creche (a.k.a., Joyous Nativity) but let me give you some back...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 8
Greetings, Friends. I’ve been eager to share this clever creche with you since the beginning of my countdown. It’s basic. It’s simple. It’s monochromatic (though distressed to add depth), and it’s all one piece. This wooden creche is probably machine-made in some sweatshop or warehouse, somewhere! I love the...
Christmas Creche Countdown Day 7
Have you seen this meme floating around on social media? That’s where I found it (and no, I don’t have a peanut creche!). I’m sharing it for my pastor friends – you know who you are – who can easily relate, I’m sure! One can NEVER own too many books. Am I right? My mother would have agreed. She collected...
Creche Countdown – Day 4
It’s December 4, 2020. I’m curious…is your Christmas decor glitzy or farmhouse or chic or traditional? Have you ever considered how to describe your style? I guess I’m eclectic. I’ve done all of the above at one time or another, and you’ll see it in my nativities as well as in my tree (when I have one). I...
Creche Countdown – Day Three
It’s Day Three of the Creche Countdown (but I guess I’m counting UP). December 3, 2020. Still flip-flop weather for me yesterday, but there’s a weather change in store for central Kansas with snow (though not as much as once predicted) and colder temps. Next week it’ll be back in the 50s. I can handle that. One never...
Creche Countdown – Day Two
It’s December 2nd, 2020. Masks are mandated. Numbers are rising. Beds are scarce. But questions, suppositions, and theories continue to be thrown around like the leaves which so recently scattered in the frantic winds of central Kansas. People are no longer questioning the existence of Covid but the contradictory information which floods...
Welcome, I’m Elaine. I’m a follower of Jesus Christ, a choreographer of words, a challenger of the status quo, an admirer of all things colorful, and a lover of life who finds great comfort and joy in knowing I’m completely adequate to do whatever it is God calls me to do!
