decorations are going up all over the house.
i think i am close to finished.
did you notice my crazy reflection in the first photo?
i am wearing orange…how christmas-y…
and i was bending all crazy to get a straight shot.
i am goofy like that.
i have been searching for inspiration and ideas
for something different or whatever catches my eye.
i went through my magazine collection and pulled out every december issue.
from years and years back.
does anyone else do this?
i got the boys these shirts…
“my brother is the naughty one”
they were just too appropriate.
today was a good day.
i had a dentist appointment early.
i had no cavites.
that is a big deal.
so big.
it’s never happened in my 32 years.
woo-hoo!
so i could breathe a huge sigh of relief and leave without having cried.
i almost always cry at the dentist.
then i got to hang out with my friend jill and watch her make jewelry.
she even brought me a coffee…mmm.
our local bead store is so pretty.
the colors and details and big beautiful paintings.
it doesn’t feel (or look) small town at all.
and i like that.
melissa has me featured on her blog today for my craft space!
i do love that craft room.
it’s such a mess right now.
christmas gifts everywhere…
fabric pulled out of every box and thrown all around…
sewing stuff all over.
total mess.
but what a neat thing to be included in.
thanks melissa.
i’d love to hear from all the new visitors…leave me a comment!
do it for melissa.
we’re virtual BFF’s don’t you know?
i finished off my good day with a peppermint shake from sonic.
i am a sucker for seasonal drink items.
you should hear me order at starbucks.
and now my husband is home from his 2 day business trip.
all is right in my world.
mary w - just discovered your Blog inspired Room and I think your style rocks!
I have a tote bag that has been filled with Holiday issues of all my magazines-I have been shlepping it back and forth between work and home for a month(or longer)-I finally decided it might be a brilliant idea to keep all of my Holiday issues in one mag. holder(or two or three-you know) so next year I don’t have to go through all of the magazines to pull those AGAIN!I have a couple of packs of those cardboard Ikea mag. holders-maybe I’ll even get crafty and cover them with leftover Holiday papers.
AND thanks for that minty brownie recipe-I may have to give it a try-I am waiting for a good snowy day to some baking and my outfit will look remarkably like yours!
I’ll be back…
