Was the Grinch Here?









Not really!  I usually leave the tree up until Epiphany, but I stole the ornaments to create centerpieces for the Epiphany Party tomorrow at St. Mark's.









 The church has eight tables to decorate in the Parish Hall, so I pulled out some of my silver plate to fill with the ornaments.  There will be a tall candlestick, a small crown enclosed votive to represent one of the Wise Men, and each of the silver trays holds some stars to represent the star that guided the Wise Men to Bethlehem.


This little votive is not the right color for the light and dark blue cloths at the church.  It was my practice piece.

 Still working on the crowns for the votives.  Need to go to town to purchase more glitter!

If you are in the Albuquerque area, join us tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. for the Epiphany Service at St. Mark's Episcopal Church 431 Richmond NE with a Party after church. Children will  search for the Baby Jesus, and everyone will enjoy King's Cakes with Mimosas for the adults and Sparkling Cider for the children and youth.  Careful, if you get a piece of King's Cake with a small plastic baby, you will be crowned a King and need to make a toast!

May 2019 shower you will God's Blessings and Protection!
