Show and Tell - Christmas Cactus

Time for Kelli's Show and Tell, for more go to Kelli's No Place Like Home and join in!

Today I'm showing my new Christmas Cactus. It was already blooming last week, so I may do like my grandmother did and call it a Thanksgiving Cactus! My grandmother, "Mama Mitchell" always had a really big cactus blooming each year at Thanksgiving, as well as Christmas. This one has a lot of little buds and I hope I can get it to grow and bloom as pretty as Mama's, and keep it alive from year to year like she did. I always think of her when I see them. Her birthday was Christmas Day.

My second Show and Tell is my new Yellow Rose Arbor banner at the top of the page. I have a collection of Nativity Sets. The Nativity above is one of my newest, I bought it at Hobby Lobby last month. I love to create different vignettes with each Nativity to display during the Christmas season. This one is on a small metal mirror, surrounded with shiny gold roses.

I also want to give praise and thanksgiving to the Lord first for coming to be our savior, and for answered prayers. Today we went back to Mayo Clinic for a follow-up on Joe's cancer treatments. They think all is well, but he won't have an MRI until January. The radiation continues to work for eight to ten weeks after the last therapy.

I won't be here next week to participate in S&T. We will be out-of-town from Saturday to Saturday, so I won't be online after late Friday night. I won't finish my Christmas decorating until I return next week. So far I only have two Nativity vignette's done. I'll start posting the others next week. Please return to see them!
