St. Louis Galleria




It's beginning to look alot like Christmas...everywhere I go!
Just last week-end we were enjoying the St. Louis Galleria. We had spent the day in St. Charles (pics to follow) admiring the buildings and then in the evening, we girls went to the St. Louis Galleria while the guys went to a movie. Later we had pizza at home and time to laugh while watching Saturday Night Live. Wonderful visit! But for now...let me show you some pictures of the Mall.




Oh, the Old Woman is happy with that GAP BAG in her hands!!! I was having hott flashes to beat the band. I had fun with the girls. Here's Ryna with her cute baby bump.


Tinman checking out some of the items we came home with. If you look real hard, you'll see a smile on his face.

Thank you for stopping by my blog. May you have a great week and a fantastic Thanksgiving as well. Gobble gobble.
Onward to Christmas!
God Bless you real good. He is great and worthy to be praised.

I haven't been to the malls...not sure I want to!! I really would like to do internet shopping!

Deanna said...

Hi Dear Ones!

Dear Love: Won't you have fun decorating!!!

Dear Nannykim: We visited Baby Gap and the regular Gap. Both were already hoppin' with customers. It was like a maze in there. I only go to the mall about twice a year. This was a special ocassion!

Enjoy hearing from you,

Pictures like that get me in the mood. I am moving pretty good with my homemade Christmas gifts. Everything is in stages of drying or waiting for the next step. It smells like a chemistry lab around her with varnish, and spray and Mod Podge. I don't do shopping malls either. But I do love to see the decorations and hear the music.

I am going to tell her to go there!!! That is a beautiful mall, I'm sure like the Galleria Mall in Dallas and our Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, I love to look at the decorations, and I too love baby Gap!!!!

Deanna I love the pictures they are wonderful, I love to see big Christmas trees that we would never be able to fit in our homes, it would be great to wake up and find one that size in my living room ;0)

God bless,

Deanna, I love, love, love the pictures!!! Christmas is my favorite holiday!

And I love seeing the smile on your precious face! You are a special lady!

Thank you for your comments about the cardiac ablation. My husband had to reschedule the surgery because of a family emergency, which is in my current post. It has to do with a fire.

Take care, and many blessings.

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

BLOSSOM WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED
As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
