Christmas Sweetness ~ My Lil' Blue Vintage Angel & Ornaments

This is my Lil' Blue Angel Ornament from my childhood, teamed with Dami's grandma's (mama nan's mother) 3 Lil' even more Vintage Christmas balls, and the Turquoise Gazing Ball that Breezy got me for Mother's Day last year......

my Lil' Blue Glittery Angel is, uhm.....WEEEEEEEeeeeeeeell over 50 yrs old now which is INCREDIBLY IRONIC...shhhhhhhhh.....'cause after all i'm only 19 :)....hehehheeeee, lol......anyways, so far,  like me, she's holding up! lolol.......AND, drumroll: she's the last one I have from back then.......(OMG put her in the vault and lock the door and throw away the keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, I've already petitioned the Louvre to put her in her rightful place behind the glass next to the Mona Lisa, but so far they refuse to answer my pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeas ;0..........i grew up with Mommy's Mona Lisa over her couch.....the same Mommy who gave me this ornament from "Santa'' when i was like literally 2 or 3, or maybe even 1....I've had it foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevah......way before kindergarten, which is on my resume where you have to list in Crayola Big Crayons for Toddlers "Your Highest Education"..;0

Ya'll should know by now, if i'm not joking folksies..........i'm not NUTTING at all! lol......When i was still the cutest lil' angel in heaven, God told me "it's not a sin to joke susie, now go down and live your life on Earth, and make people smile with your sick sense of irreverence and joyful glee".....then he stuck one of those Chiquita Banana stickers on my forehead,  Saint Peter and Jesus high-fived me,  knowing i'd be back soon enough, (i think i heard them as i rode outta sight ''merry christmas to all, take your time susie, TOO soon enough for us, goodnight!!", hehhehehehheee, lololololol) and they sent me down the Star Glitter Galaxy ride to Earth & the Stork came and got me, and then my Mommy bought me this SWEET ANGEL !!! ~~~...isn't that the same story you told YOUR KIDS when THEY ASKED??? ....ya, thought so!!! lololol.....

My mommy nick-named me "Sweet Pea'' because to her,  my big mommy, i was so tiny as a little preemie baby in her arms....ROF, sorry but this is HER STORY, not mine, i'm just-a-innocently-recountin' it all, lolol......(insert Angel Halo over Little Susie's head for HER innocence in recounting mama's tale, lol )....I was 5lbs at birth, (and yes, i really do remember being in the hospital as as newborn and my older cousins coming in and seeing me).....and when i was a toddler, mama told me ''hold this 5lb bag of sugar, this is what you were to me as a baby, my little 5lb bag of sugar''......lol.........and i'd go around the house and hold the bag of sugar in one of my doll baby blankets and say ''THIS IS MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"....all chipper happy! like the loon you know i am!! loll.......lawd help us.....LOLOLOLOL   no wonder she enrolled me in 5 hours of nursery school the SECOND i was eligible ...lololololol........:)

When we were little, we each had our own little tree in our rooms, my little tree was the cutest little 2ft white table top tree, it had a white boxy base with glitter all over it....so cute....i wish i still had that thing...knowing my mother, she does somewhere....lolololol.....anyways, my mother got me this REALLY PRETTY PINK  strand of those old fashioned glass beads garland for it, and every year as a tiny child I used to drape around it like a tiny child in Christmas glee..........hello?? i WAS a child in christmas glee! loloool.... (not to mention: yay moms who knew i loved pink!, lol)..........

"Santa'' would bring us a new ornament every year to put on it.........for some reason along the way,  when i grew up, I lost them all or left them in my room, maybe moms has them someplace, i don't know.......lololol.......but, I seemed to have only take this Angel and a Little Salmon Colored Glitter Snowman......but my precious little Salmon colored (HELLO?? FOR REAL??? SALMON?? hehehehehe, musta been a Florida Flamingo-Beach Shell hues inspired Snowman, lolololol)  long since bit the dust and I tossed him.......I KNOW!!! crazy of me!!....but when I was in my 20's, we still lived in Florida where I was born and raised, and I was not into shabby clutter at ALL.....TOO HOT FOR THAT DEAL TO ME BACK THEN,  lolool.......as sentimenatal as I am, I still can't believe I didn't just save him in a box somewhere......he must have been REALLY REALLY shabby for me to toss......lololol.......

Anyways........these pix are among the most beautiful pix i've ever taken......one day i will figure out how to edit photos, then ALL my pix will be gorgeous.....LMAO..........ok......a girl can dream can't she??? lolol...

Seriously though, these pix really are pretty and make me dream about sweet times as a Child and Christmas Love from my mother and daughter and dami when he's not being a p.i.a. boy who wants me to watch his boring boy tv shows with him till i diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie, after all, can't i just stare at this Angel Vignette on my dressing table?  and you and the mutt watch your boring boy shows?? hehehehehheheheeee..... lololololololololol.......i still may be the only american who can not understand the concept of what "a first down'' even means, lolooooooool......

ANYHOOooo, BACK TO WHAT MATTERS IN LIFE, which we all know is CHRISTMAS ANGELS!! and SHABBYLICIOUS GIRL DECOR...lol.......she's with the turquoise gazing ball my daughter surprised me with for Mother's Day last year.........and Dami's Grandmother's 3 little Vintage Ball Ornaments, which his mom gave to him way back before the start of the world, lololol........i cherish these photos for real............lol.....and it OBVIOUSLY never works when i try to be serious and do a ''big girl grown up lady post" !!!....lololololol.....anyways.........welcome to this adorable little Angel post...she really is so precious....and i really do cherish the items in these photos.......ok, so this is your Christmas Story from Lil' Susie for today Kiddies........hope you enjoy these pretty pix.........<3

Christmas ~ Pink Candy Cane Sugarplum Christmas Dreams

 I decided not to do this pretty pink tree in my sewing room again this year, because it was in the way of me using that table all season.........(welcome to my utter lack-of-foresight brain, lololol)....and even if I did it again this year, I'd put it in the kitchen so it'd not be so much in my way.....ergo: I don't think I could possibly take prettier pix than these, since the kitchen's not pink (again, please refer to ''my utter lack of foresight" as to why i bought that 'lil red farmhouse table for my kitchen when i KNEW i wanted a pink kitchen??)...lolololol..........so if you love Pink Candy Cane Sugarplum Christmas Dreams as much as I do,  and missed these last year,  I hope you enjoy this one!..............

 actually that one WAS pretty funny of a reference for a pink candy tree post, when you think about her candy factory conveyor belt scene!! Lolooloololo.............i love lucille ball......i AM lucille ball ;0......we used to have the sweetest little white puffy puppy, she was born the year lucille ball passed away, and my little girl got her for her 10th birthday, and named her "Lucy'' after lucille ball....i still miss that little precious puppy dog....my next dog is going to be a small non-shedding lap dog like Lucy was....with a dang zipper in her belly for my jammies!! lolo.....and she's gonna sit on my bed and DO NUTTIN ALL DAY!!>....lolo.....remember those pet pillows that held your jammies when we were kids??? LOL...........

sweeping up Sunny's dog hair and puttin' up with his wild boy huge dog personality wears on a girl's pink shabby dreams of a spotless house 24/7 with nuttin' on the floor but my pink puffy bedroom slippers and my sugar cookie crumbs....LOL......

will someone please tell Sunny that his BARK BARK BARK is NOT conducive to my hot chocolate peacefulness? THANX!! i owe ya one!!....lololol.....that mutt doesn't even chew, you can't share cookies fast enough with him!!...lololol..........while dami chimes in so helpfully "labradors will eat and never stop, you have to regulate them''....THANX BUDDIE!!! why don't you regulate yourself and your dog to my yard?????????????? so i can watch the hallmark movies all day long in peace and quiet!! lolool..........i do love ALL my doggies.....ALL of them......past and present and future, i guess we need a '"Jimmy Stewart'' dog now that i made THAT Christmas classic movie reference, LOL.....it will take a "Miracle on 34th Street" to keep our house spotless with this mutt, lolol....there, my  3 Star Hollywood Tri-fecta Christmas reference post is done!....lolol........

Christmas ~ Our Nativity and Faux Mantle

My favorite part of the holiday season is taking time to reflect, in humble reverence, on the reason we Christians celebrate this holiday.......

Christ in the manger with Joseph and Mary is our symbol of faith that God loved us so much, that he sent his son to prove that love......and it is our gift to be able to witness through reflection each Christmas,  the goodwill to all who came to welcome the sweet baby to the world..... with each Christmas season, we continue to welcome the love of God into our hearts....and pay gratitude for sending us Jesus Christ....

My wish for you is to let the love of Christ be ever present in your hearts this holiday, as we remember to have faith in knowing the goodness and grace of God's merciful love as He keeps watch over each of our souls.....

(We got our pretty nativity from Anna's Linens.....the shelf above the tv from Lowe's, it's the perfect ''faux mantle''....tv images are from our Uverse holiday channel from AT & T....the gorgeous Chanel commercial with Charleze Theron and all the old glamor dolls.....and one of my favorite movies: the classic "Sound of Music")....hope you enjoy taking time to reflect and pray for Peace & Joy for our World










May you feel the love of Christ in your heart this season & we all have Peace on Earth.....~ susie
