Real Hunting Gear...

When going out to get the big buck, there is only one shirt...

Congrats to the hunter - my condolences to the bucks family (if Bambi can make it - so can all of you).

Team Vogel Ornaments...

'Tis the season for ornaments!  Joe's Aunt, Jane, has made many beautiful Team Vogel ornaments to help keep the spirit alive throughout the holiday season...
Picture
The Team Vogel Ornaments are $10 (with $3 going to Team Vogel's mission to "Pay it Forward"). 

If you are interested in an ornament, please send an email to -
teamvogelmerchandise@hotmail.com

Please note - each ornament is unique - above are just 4 examples. 

A special Thank You to Jane! 

...and a Decorated House

Each year - the holidays come.  When Joe was here, I would decorate the house with odds and ends...  a pink Christmas tree...  butterflies...  sparkles...

Regardless of my choices, he would alwasys enjoy the spirit of the season with me.

When people leave - sometimes traditions and interests do too.  My first Christmas without Joe - I focused on breathing and getting through the day.  Last year - I had a little more spirit, but I could not pull out a piece of holiday decor.  This year I found myself thinking about decorating...  I wasn't truly inspired until I walked into my favorite shopping location in Wells - The Back Door Closet (a second hand store).  They had amazing holiday decorations and it became a challenge that inspired me.  What could I do with this piece... How can I make that piece fit the theme... That just needs to come home...

There is no right or wrong way to make it through the holidays.  Everyone's path leads in different directions at times, sometimes they cross, and sometimes they overlap. 

Here is where my path brought me this weekend...

Picture
A Charlie Brown tree - created by Bea - covered in hanging crystals from an old chandelier...
Picture
A Christmas Tree that doesn't shed pine needles and embraces the place where I belong - the beach...
Picture
Some old fabric, the hanging crystals and a little hemp...
Picture
A ladder found on the side of the road - a wood block found in my neighbor's shed - and two trees from the store...
Picture
Some fun pieces from the store - a framed sweater - a butterfly from grandma - and a priceless buck = a holiday wonderland.
Before signing off - all dates for the 2013 Team Vogel vs Cancer season are now on the website under Other Events.

Peace and Hugs...and stay warm!

I've been thinking about you and wondering how this holiday season is going. I'm sure you still miss Joe every single day and the holidays heighten that, but I'm so glad you're finding joy and decorating. Your spirit is so inspirational, and I hope you're experiencing as much joy as you bring to the rest of us this holiday season. I love love LOVE your charlie brown tree. Beautiful and creative.
