December 10th
My smallest nativity. It's in a shell of some sort. My mother gave this to me when we lived in The Lodge. I had taken her shopping to a store that stocked items made by crafts men and women from over seas. All items sold at fair market value. I didn't realize she'd made this purchase as a gift for me.
To see how tiny it is, I put a dime in the shell.

I'm later than usual posting today because I've been busy making birthday cards - 4 of them - and an anniversary card for youngest daughter and her husband.
I also made gift certificates for oldest two granddaughters. The certificates entitle them to a shopping trip and lunch out.

Yesterday I finished up this task. I had purchased two 4x6 photo albums which had these pressed flower arrangements in the cover picture spot. I took them out of those spots and put them into these frames with mats with the right size opening.
Though don't have the original coloring anymore but I thought they were still lovely.
Dan said it was the best Chinese soup he'd had. I figured I'd better write out what I did so I can replicate it again. It would be good with chicken too.
Sorry. Not exactly a recipe you can follow easily. If you try it let me know.

One more thing: we are having snow. Prediction of 1-3 inches has been surpassed already. I know because Dan just had a fire call - downed wire in the road - and I had to go shut the barn doors after he took car out. I swept the porch too and it's 3 inches and climbing. Since I was out, I took the compost to the outdoor compost bin.
View from my desk. Porch is getting covered again.

Your mother's Nativity must be a joy to have. It's lovely! I am very late getting organized, sending out cards and such. Determined to do them tomorrow. What you did with the pressed flowers are gorgeous! Thank you for the recipe and the snow picture is pretty but I'm glad ours didn't last this time. At least the roads and driveway is clear.
That soup looks delicious! I'll try it.
That's a beautiful teeny tiny nativity. Very unusual. Love your soup and looks like it matches the weather. Be careful out there! Linda in Kansas
...Marcia, your floral pressing are a fdelight and I am saving your recipe.
Once again, they have forecast tonight with very cold weather tomorrow. Not sure if I can go out. You are soup sounds superb. Love, the pressedflowers framed. The tiny nativity is so precious!
Very unusual nativity shell. What a lovely reminder of your mother. We are having an unusually warm December.
That little Nativity is so small, very pretty and a beautiful present from your mother, so doubly beautiful.
