This And That In My Treasure Box

I dried flowers for the first time and displayed an arrangement in   shadow boxes I purchased.  My husband even liked them.   I have enjoyed displaying these for our harvest party and our Thanksgiving decorations.  We decorated a Fall tree for the first time this year.  Our grandchildren helped with decorations they made in art class and they also helped decorate the tree.  The theme, of course, is giving thanks to God. For the first time, I pressed flowers from my garden.  Which God used in an unusual way.   I will share that story on our Children's Blog.  But I will share some of the pictures here. For the first time, we had a dress-up Harvest party. So much fun!  In this picture  - Anna is dressed up like an acorn, and Ben is dressed up like Bible man. I'm a cheerleader and Papa is a football player. Susan Nikitenko Photos ©
