The Haunted Christmas Tree Forest
This is the haunted Christmas tree forest ~ the place where and ghosts and spirits gather on cold long winter nights.
They decorate the trees of the forest with snowflakes and icicles, then dust them with frost.
Many think the sound they hear is the winter wind blowing but it is, in fact, the carols of the sprits, sung around the glowing trees.
They sing of Christmases long past and ponder who will join them for next year's celebration.
Ghosts of Christmas Past, Christmas Future, and Christmas Present are always there.
Then, as the winds die down, all the spirits return to their secret haunts to celebrate in their own way.
Listen carefully and you may hear them this holiday season.
A bracelet of sterling silver, with a sterling silver Christmas tree charm, lampwork glass ghosts and skulls, flowers, trees and Christmas bells of pressed glass and crystal, each wire wrapped with sterling silver wire. The bracelet has an inside diameter of approximately 7".
Cost is $99. Shipping is free within the US and Canada. For shipping elsewhere, please inquire by leaving a comment.

Because of Who You Are ...
When you look into the cottony sky, the beautiful landscape of hills and mountains, the shimmering sunlight to the sea, the awesome colors of leaves and flowers, the glittering stars of the night..you might ask..what a Great Hand has created these things..
When you see and hear the different animals, when you feel the warm embrace of your kids, the loving touch of your mother, the protection of your father..you might say...what a Wonderful privilege has been given to us..
Have you asked who you are to see and feel all of these things?..Have you been wondering that with all those trials, pain and sufferings, you still managed to get up and be someone you dreamed of?..
This song is like a prayer..with all those things around us, those people who have hurt us, those trials that make us fall..there is One Hand that will catch us..no matter what or who we are..without Him..we're like a flower quickly fading, a wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind..here today and gone tomorrow. We are nothing..but because of Who God Is..we are someone..someone His....
Who am I? .. God said, You are mine.. "I am yours, God, and whom shall I fear?"..what a wonderful assurance that whatever we had done,because He is God, He loves us and will be by our side...and God's promises never change...

Watch, hear and think of what this song is saying...

How to Appreciate the Hell Out of Some Art
For the next few days, Jack Sh*t is chronicling his adventures on his recent trip to Italy as well as including tips to help you plan your own international travel. It is his special way of saying "Nanna nanna boo boo, I went to Italy!" to all his loyal readers.
Would you like to learn how to appreciate the hell out of some art, especially if you find yourself (as I did) gazing at some of the world’s most famous masterpieces?
Fantastic! You’ve come to the right place, my friend. Appreciating the hell out of some art is just a matter of asking yourself a few simple questions about each piece as you look at it…
• Does it express successfully what it’s intending to express?
• Does it amaze me in a different way each time I look at it?
• Does the piece provide a glimpse of the time in which it was created?
• Does its visual impact of mysterious, pure power increase as I look at it?
• Is it unforgettable?
• How dead is this artist?
• Have I ever heard of him before?
• Are they doing something terrible to Jesus?
• Is there lots of fancy gold in the painting?
• Is the frame ornate as all get-out?
• Is everybody else nodding and admiring it?
• Is some snooty professor-looking dude with horn-rimmed glasses pontificating about it?
• Isn’t he pompous?
• Don’t you hate him?
• Do they have a concession stand here?
• Do you think they sell Raisinets?
• How could I get a job sitting around playing games on my phone while I “guard” art?
• What if I stole a famous masterpiece, but then grew to love it so much that I just wanted to hang it up in my bedroom and admire it all the time?
• What would they do if I took out a Sharpee and started drawing Hitler mustaches on all the angels?
• I wonder what I’m missing on TV?
Remember, when you're appreciating the hell out of some art, it's not the answers that are important... it's the questions!
Now go hit up a museum!
