♥ Whatcha Working on Wednesday ♥

Nothing fantastic...I had bought this placemat at the Dollar Tree, white with a black trim...of course it caught my eye! I finally coffee and vanilla dyed it, over night, dryed it in the dryer and ironed it. I needed something for my diningroom table for under the centerpiece I threw together:) An old wooden bowl with the patriotic pears I had won...greenery from the Dollar Tree and Dollar General and the snowman that I already had:) With working this is what I came up with...easy to remove when you have to and small enough to just leave it where it is. Like I said nothing fantastic but I least I can cross something off my to do list:)

Shelly from Building a Log Cabin had a recent post on her Christmas ornaments and I thought I'd follow and show some of mine.

My favorite...I found this Barbie ornament at Hallmark about several years ago, when you open it up it shows the first Barbie exactly like the one I had. She had black hair made of thread, I'll never forget her nor watching the black & white commercial of her and wanting her for Christmas:) I think I was about 9 or10, I woke up Christmas morning to her and her clothes and also a Barbie case!

My case was black though...funny how you remember all the details♥

Most memorable...Michele made this at the borough building, they had a class for kids and she did this... put a plastic baby in blue pj's in a little plastic cup and said it was Chris who was a baby at that time. It always has a place on my tree♥

The Oldest...these are from my grandmother who I never got to know, my mom's mother who passed away early in life at 47 from a cerebral hemorage, my mom named me after her:) I have about six more of the red tear drop ornaments scattered around the tree.

This is a new catagory I'm adding:

One's that bring tears to your eyes...I remember my mom buying this at a craft show, it's made from plastic canvas and is a knitting basket. See the balls of yarn and the knitting needles?

Mom always bought me an ornament every year and this clip on white dove is one of them:)

I'll show more tomorrow right now I have to get ready for work, I hope you all have a happy day♥

Don't forget to stop by Leslie's to see more Whatcha Working on Wednesday's...I'll add my name to her Mr. Linky when I get home later this evening.
