Pictorial Potpourri Tuesday Link Up 12 27 2022
Wow, we have come to the end so this is the last one for 2022. Seems like it flew by. My post is a remake of one that I did Christmas 2015. The Christmas Eggs
Reposting from 2015 - a Christmas craft to make.
One Christmas around 1974 when bored and not many Christmas ornaments for our tree, I decided to make a diorama out of eggs. Using manicure scissors, I cut the front out of the egg, cleaned out the inside and rinsed it out and let it dry maybe a few hours or even overnight. I then glued any decorations I could find i.e. this one is a Santa cut out of a Christmas card, and then I added cotton so that it looked like a snow scene. I glued yarn around the opening to hide any jagged edge and then glued string to the top for adding an oranment hanger. This Santa egg is one of the first ones I made that year. Every year, I just pack it away with the other tree ornaments. I actually haven't even been that careful with it. That first year, I even made some, dated them and gave them as gifts.
I would love to be an artist because I think a talented person could really decorate the insides wonderfully. This craft would even be fun to do to make an Easter decorated tree.
Below are pictures of some of the eggs I made that year. I added pictures of them hanging on my tree.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you enjoy this craft and drop me a comment or add a picture to your comment if you decide to try this and let me know how it turns out.
Since then, I have seen that other people make these eggs or buy them decorated to hang or display.
This year my eggs are 48 years old so who would have thought egg shells are that tough. :) They still adorn my tree this year.
Hope all survived the terrible storms that hit the U.S. this Christmas. My daughter and SIL arrived home from their cruise just in time to be snowed in plus they came home with Covid. So, with the weather and their being sick, our Christmas was cancelled. My son lives about 50 minutes away with country roads so told them not to chance it. I was lucky, thank God, because my electric stayed on the whole time. I feel so bad for those on the East Coast who really got slammed with the snow and winds. I was in the blizzard in 1978, and did not relish doing that again, but they say this one was worse for those who got hit badly.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka, Happy Kwanza or however you celebrated this Holiday Season. And Happy New Year with many blessings for 2023.
Link up is open below. Thanks so much for all that have shared 2022 and prior years with me. I love seeing your visits.
This is the stare I got late the night of the storm when it was wind chill 20 below zero with 55 mph winds. But when you gotta go, you gotta go. He made it each night and day, but couldn't be long because his paws get cold and then can't walk so I carry him out and in. This week we will be in the 50's. Ridiculous weather. Ma Nature is so confused! lol

Sunday Scripture Blessing Link Up 12 30 2018
As we head into another New Year, I thank God to have made it through pretty much unscathed. What blessings we receive through a year that we sometimes don't even recognize. As a mom, I am blessed to share Christmas with our three adult children and their children. I am blessed with a son who has had his share of heartache and problems that will now be giving his first sermon this coming Friday night at the Church he attends. I have been thinking, "Oh God, how mysteriously you do work your wonders because knowing this child, no one would ever have expected him to be in Church, let alone standing on a pulpit doing the sermon." But, as scripture says, God doesn't come to heal those who are already healed but those that need it. Prayers for the pastor that is leading him down God's path. His journey with religion has been for more than seven years, and he is blessed to have God helping him find his way.
Anyway, the scripture I chose actually at random this busy week, reminds me of all the former things, and the memories and blessings we attain in each year. Prayers for blessings for all as we head into another year. Prayers for much needed prayers for those in our government that they allow God to lead them.
And, best of all, each New Year's Eve is a reminder of a very joyful time in years past. It was the birth of our first child 53 years ago.
Happy New Year everyone that visits Peabea Scribbles, and I look forward to another blogging year with those that I have come to enjoy visiting each week. Thank you for sharing. :)
Also, I apologize for Sunday Scripture Blessings being posted late. With family gatherings, and babysitting these two cute grand-dogs, I didn't get ahead of the game.

Pictorial Tuesday 1 2 2018
Such a frosty morning here for the first day of 2018. It is below zero for temps here in Ohio. Only about -4 but not really use to that after we had such a mild winter last year.
Hope everyone had a nice New Year's Eve.
Thanks to everyone who came and shared their great photography on my Pictorial Tuesday link up during 2017. They all were very much appreciated, and as always, the comments are enjoyed and I read every one. So, hoping to continue Pictorial Tuesday for 2018 and looking forward to more beautiful photo sharing. Thank you to all who stop by. If you don't have a photography blog, Inlinkz now says that you can share a link to an Instagram photo. If you can't share a link to your blog photography, or Instagram, I hope you will share a comment hello. :)
