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...
Creche Countdown
Traditions!Christmas is one of those tradition-rich holidays. I love traditions, but I’ve found not all are ‘doable’ during Covid. In my book, Celebrate Grandparenting: 101 Ways to Intentionally Connect with your Grands, I devoted an entire section to Traditions, but that was pre-pandemic. Now, I find myself searching for a...
Our Marathon Move – Part Three – Conclusion
NOTE: THIS IS PART THREE OF A SERIES CHRONICLING THE LAST THREE YEARS OF OUR LIVES. Come on along as I wrap up this journey….our commuter marriage and our marathon move.Finally, with no more loan extensions available, time was closing in. The stress was super intense. By then, our son had moved out, so I recleaned the house from top to...
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!
