You'll have to drop by and check it out when I post. <br />Love the Merry Christmas tag and I am pretty sure I can make one, but did you purchase it somewhere??<br />Oh, I read your Thanksgiving post and you have given me some great ideas. Since we are staying home for Christmas I may take your idea of delivering food to the fire station or something. Maybe a Christmas brunch or something. I am getting excited just thinking about it!!<br />EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00669663704444452161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-9599004095962302972009-11-19T21:18:22.011-05:002009-11-19T21:18:22.011-05:00What kind of polish do you use on the white skates...What kind of polish do you use on the white skates?

We live in the frozen north (interior of Alaska where we have breaking record lows...)so I may just have to stop off at the thrift store or Play It Again Sports the next time we are in town.<br /><br />We live in a truly rural location so I must say we rarely decorate out of doors. However the of blue LED lights now grace our upstairs windows where the neighbor across the hill can enjoy them each day! :)<br /><br />I also wanted to let you know how much of an inspiration your blog has been to me! I was never able to access it before because our dial-up connection was too slow but now that DSL (high speed internet)has to come to our location a whole new world of inspiration has opened up! It is amazing how God has blessed me during these past few months!!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00082661310058536555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-59422869513648687032009-11-19T11:39:38.494-05:002009-11-19T11:39:38.494-05:00Oh, Monica, how simple and beautiful!

For 12 years of my childhood and youth I took skating lessons, and at some point in there my parents bought me a very special, rather costly pair of skates that allowed me to finally do some fancy moves! Unfortunately, for soem reason my feet hit a growth spurt when I turned 21 (!) and the special skates no longer fit...but they can be brought back into my life as Christmas decorations, what a great idea. Oh boy! I'm a big fan of your blog by the way.

I actually have white ice skates that used to be my mothers - I'm taking my daughter ice-skating at our park soon, then I may decorate with them. What a great idea!!

They were my Dad's old black ones (oh, how he loved ice skateing. He was the Best!) Kinda special to me - since he has since gone on to be with the Lord, going on 13-14 years now. Then they got moldy in our basement, last year. Really, really bad! So, I had to throw them out. <br /><br /> I was acutally thinking though, I need or want to get my hands on another pair (somewhere) and do it again. Although, it wouldn't be as nostalgic... same idea.<br /><br />I liked how you decortated these.Bevy @ Treasured Up and Ponderedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821971923515558110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617895.post-16190895552323334802009-11-19T06:30:41.847-05:002009-11-19T06:30:41.847-05:00I have hung a pair of child's ice skates from ...I have hung a pair of child's ice skates from my front door at Christmas time in place of a wreath for years.
