We haven't put up our Christmas decorations yet. When do you put up yours?
~oOo~
The decorating (painting and papering) in the kitchen is finished now - yay! I'm just waiting to be sure the paint is dry before I hang the curtains. We had a bit of a set-back though. We have laminate wood floors in the kitchen. Yesterday after running the washing machine I heard a squelch noise as I walked across the floor. Water seeped up between the laminate planks. I called my Dad (hubs was at work) and we discovered that we've had a drip from a pipe behind the washer for a while. Under the flooring water was everywhere. It's warped all the planks.
I could have cried. I'd finally got the kitchen looking nice and then the floor is ruined. *Sigh* I will have to put up with concrete floor now until we can sort it out.
BUT - God is with us, He cares for us. Despite my homemaker despair, I know that I have everything in Him. He is in control.
Lol, the fact is the flooring we had down was the remnants of flood damaged flooring from Hubs' parents' house. They had a flood a few years ago and we got all the pieces that weren't damaged. I thought that was quite funny that those that escaped their flood were damaged by our own little flood!
22 Days 'til Christmas!
Christmas is coming,
The goose is getting fat
Please put a penny
In the old man's hat.
If you haven't got a penny,
A ha'penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha'penny,
Then God bless you.

Oh no! I'm really sorry about your ruined floor, that is certainly no fun *at all*!
The countdown card you made is very pretty. And so is your Christmas-y blog design. :o)
Happy Sunday my friend!
Thanks Michele! Happy Sunday to you too, Hugs!
Congratulations to you on finishing the kitchen. The destruction of the flooring is oh - so frustrating though, I am sure!!
I can't wait to see photos.
Your countdown card is sweet.
I remember singing that carol in Christmas concerts at school when I was little.
Thanks Melissa. :) The girls have made their own countdown calendars now. I'll have to post them, they're quite cute
I'm so sorry about your kitchen flooring. How disappointing!
I like the countdown calendar you made. I bet the ones your daughter's made are so cute! :)
(I've always liked the Christmas carol you shared.)
