Jewels Aglow.....


 The tree does glow and can be seen from the outside. There are a lot of lights on the tree as it heats up the room. The lights can almost remind one of jewels that are shining on the tree.


My wife's friend Shari liked to make things with buttons. We have a number of them as she gifted them to us each year up until she passed away. She attached them all on a place mat and loaded it down with special buttons.

 


 

She was such a creative person. The top is decorated with different symbolic shapes. I believe there is a little butterfly on there. 


I was being a little creative today. My wife found some origami papers in her studio and handed them to me. I had to relearn how to fold them. I had a goal to make ten today but it didn't happen. I had to blog and its too dark to see this time of the day. 


It is Hanukkah day four with the sun setting at 5:41. The candle light almost looked like the sun but it wasn't that. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Did you miss me yesterday?

Yes, I missed you. But then again, everyone deserves a day off!
My MIL collected buttons and sold them along with odd marbles.
That mat is so creative and beautiful.

Your tree is stunning Larry, I've been leaving our tree lights on, all throughout the day, rainy and gloomy outside, but colorful and sparkly inside.
Love the button decorations
