christmas tour 2012~

I have finally gotten around to getting most

of my decorating done.

I am one of those that is running around sticking

a decoration here and there right up

before my family comes on Christmas Eve.

I always say to myself...quit it......

it's fine the way it is....no one even notices...but you!

But, I never listen to myself! :) 

Here is what I have done so far..... wink wink....so

come on in!

This is my mudroom, love my mudroom...this where everthing is dropped...

and hopefully coats are hung up and always lots of pillows! :)

This little table will get some tweeking before the end of the

week, I am sure! :)

we just recently....(well, not we...I ) painted the door

that goes out to the garage with chalkboard paint. I have the door

that goes to the basement in chalkboard paint, but Beka and her friends

love to decorate it, so I wanted one of my own. :)

I bought my boxwood wreath from decor steals ! Love

them and have bought several things from them...would recommend!

the kitchen, not much happening here. I used just a few things and

my little wreath with some left over red ticking material for the bow.

I kind of have a thing this year for pinecones.

They seem to be in

every room.

Lots of pillows around....of course!

The tree is new this year. It's from Balsam Hill.

My tree that we normally have used forever was ruined in

our yucky sewer backup in the basement.

It broke my heart to lose my Christmas tree, you see,

my Mom bought that for me for my 2nd Christmas

with my hunny; and my Mom is no longer with us, so it was

sad to have throw my tree away!

I decided to go simple this year with decorations. I did some

pinecones(told ya!) and birds, some glittery reindeer, and some

snowflakes. I finished it off with button garland.

Love this little birdy!

even some homemade pom poms are on

the tree

Hot chocolate bar on the buffet.

a candle burning especially around this time of year.

My sweet friend Holly,  she has this super cute blog and also

an etsy shop. She made this awesome candle. This one is

mistletoe; smells wonderful!!! Love it

so much I just ordered 3 more! :)

lighted garland on the hutch.

master bedroom...I think this pillow is probably my favorite

pillow of the season.

I hope you enjoyed the Christmas tour of

my home. I wish all of

you a Blessed and Very Merry Christmas!

I want to also I have been very

blessed this year with sales

from my etsy shop!

It has been wonderful and I Thank all

my customers from the bottom of my heart!

I look forward to a fabulous 2013; with new

ideas and new products!

I wish you a blessed Thanksgiving.

 

I feel so blessed and thankful. I am blessed with a wonderful

family and thankful for so much.

My husband will not be able to be with us this year for

Thanksgiving, but we were able to have our Thanksgiving

last week. Beka and I will spend Thanksgiving with

the inlaws. My dear husband will get to spend

Thanksgiving with a coworker who has been 

kind enough to invite him into his home with his

family.

 

We have had so much happen here at home lately, it's been

so crazy. I don't even know where to begin!

Sick dog, sewer backed up in the basement, brother in the hospital....family

pictures......

and it goes on and on.....But, I think

we are finally getting things back to "normal"

around here, just in time to start the hustle

and bustle of Christmas.

 

I did get out my Thanksgiving decor, the day before

my guest came for our Thanksgiving. :)

 We did manage to get some family pictures

taken in amungst the craziness....

I am glad we did it, we haven't had family

pictures done in a long time.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day!

insta friday~

Happy Friday!

I don't know about you, but I am always ready for the weekend!

This weekend is another busy weekend!

Today is Homecoming, parade, football, and dance!

Beka is excited. :)

I am linking up with Jeannett with

instagram goings on. 

 If you are on instagram, i am

jodiannlor

Bailey got a dear antler. I know....gross huh? :) But I found

out about these on instagram! Ya, she LOVES it, it lasts way longer

than the rawhide chews that are out there, you can

get them at Petsmart.

Made myself a pillow for fall. :)  I found this fabric at Hobby Lobby

and i was attracted to it right away. I love the design and the

orange color. 

I have watching these leopard flats from Target forever.

I pick them up, set them down, try them on, put them back....several times.

Finally, picked them and put them in my cart.

Trying to dress outside my comfort zone of tee shirt, jeans and running shoes!

New pillow in the etsy store . This is one of my favorites, I just

love the font.

Watchin tv all snuggly and cuddly. :)

Finally got tired of being sick! I went to the doctor and hopefully

can get over the "crud".  Darned allergies!

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

August came and went~

Hi All!

Hope you haven't forgotten who I am!

Boy was August ever crazy...

I have tons of pictures, but they are on my desktop and I can't

access the internet to blog on that computer.....so

these are from my phone. Hopefully I can get that up and

running again soon!

We went on vacation, had a wonderful time. Beka and I

flew to Casper, Wyoming and met up with Rick; he was on

his days off of work.

We took off the next day for Cody, Wyoming

Lots of shopping there....well looking anyway. :)

I could have spent forever there, the shopping was fabulous!

I loved all the southwestern decor! There was so much,

but these are a few of my favorites!

Then we headed on to Yellowstone National Park.

We got to see Old Faithful erupt....twice. Again, I have lots of

pictures from Yellowstone, but they are stuck on my desktop...poo!

After Yellowstone, we went back to Casper where Rick

works and stays for his 2 weeks.  He showed us around

and we did some shopping there for the rest

of the week.

 Fell in love with these boots!!! Oh my would I had

loved to come home with these....too bad they

were $600.00!!!

lots of glitzy belts!!!

Miss Bailey was glad to have us back home!

School started....can't believe

my baby girl is a Sophomore this year.

Beka and her Bestie

The etsy store has been busy....that always makes me so happy!

We have had some hot dry weather, but we

did finally get some rain.

A girl and her new cowgirl boots...

Miss Beka had a birthday......she turned 15. Wow where does

 the time go? Last I knew she was 4 and in preschool!

I wanted to show you my beachy decor out in my mudroom, but all my

pictures are on desktop! I only have a few, but they are not the

best. I have since taken it all down to get ready for FALL!

We were super busy in August, I hope that September slows

down a bit. Fall is my favorite time of year, I can't wait to get

to decorating!

Take care and hope you are all enjoying a nice

long weekend! Happy Labor Day!
