Last year, it was 68 degrees at 9 am on Columbus Day in Southwest Florida.  This year, it is 78 degrees! And I am dreaming about Christmas!

Why am I thinking about Christmas?  Seems strange, doesn’t it!  It really isn’t as strange as it sounds though when you consider my background as a flower shop owner.  Those of us working in retail or the creative fields are always thinking in the future.  I also have a background in accounting and banking where we worked a lot in the past (think prior month) so it is amazing I have any idea what day it is!

Seasonal Holiday Centerpiece Ideas

 I can always use a bit of hope that the Christmas Season brings, can’t you?  I could use a bit of whimsy too.  

Has anyone starting thinking about their Holiday decorating for this year?  Dave usually thinks I am weird when I start talking about what our Christmas decorating theme is going to be.  After all this time together, I don’t know why he is shocked by anything I say, particularly if it is related to decorating!

Speaking of whimsy, I found this cute snowman while I was in Waco Tx a few years ago. I love his silver tinsel scarf!  Do you think it is too soon to display him?

I think he might look really cute paired with some of my other glittery snowmen!

While I go look for the totes with the snowmen and the spool of thin red tinsel garland, here are a few ideas to help you get a jump start on your seasonal decorating!

Simple Seasonal Holiday Centerpiece Ideas

My must have seasonal centerpiece vessels include dough bowls and sugar molds!

Having a dough bowl (or 2 or even more!) makes creating a stunning seasonal centerpiece so quick and easy!   For best results, I recommend that an oval or rectangle dough bowl be at least 17 inches in length! If you are using a round dough bowl, it should be at least 10 inches in diameter.

Sugar molds come in a variety of sizes and are one of my favorite things to use to decorate my table! They are so versatile!

Read on to see a few of my favorite ideas!

I don’t talk about my faith a lot. I do believe I don’t talk about my faith a lot.  I do believe God puts certain people in your path for a reason.  An example of this occurred on Tuesday.  It was colonoscopy/sigmoidoscopy day.  I was really nervous about how it would all work since it was my first time since I had my cancer surgery. 

 The nurse that was taking care of me in the pre op area turned out to be the same nurse who had prayed for me last year. My husband was in the parking lot of the medical center speaking with his friend who happened to work at the center with this particular nurse. I was very sick at the time and they prayed for my healing.  It was great to be able to thank her in person and let her see that the prayers had been answered. ❤️

Then the anesthesiologist came in and told me about his cousin who had also been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer about a year ago. He mentioned some of the treatments his cousin had had and how important a positive attitude is.  I was touched that he took the time to tell me about his cousin’s experience. 

 We had arranged in advance to have my husband’s friend as the nurse anesthesist.  He was able to pray with us as well as reassure us about the procedure.

The procedure went well. The three polyps that the surgeon removed were sent to pathology.  The report is already back and there no evidence of cancer.  Prayers were answered again❤️
