Final Touches for Christmas

Happy Monday!

 I hope you all had a blessed weekend!  As I mentioned in Friday's post-hubby and I packed up the car that afternoon, and made the 3 hour trip to my daughter, Mel's for the weekend!

  The next day we attended a shower that Mel and Andy's WONDERFUL friends put on for them.  What fun we had-and delicious food too!  I'll be sharing some photo's on Mel's page-as soon as I make some

Sugar Cookies and Christmas decor in the kitchen!

Although our kitchen remodel is FAR from being completed (imagine half the ceiling gone, no back splash, and nasty laminate counters), this room is still one of my favorite places-and one I spend a great deal of time in. Even so-this year-it didn't make sense for me to go crazy 'decking it out' with a whole bunch of Christmas decor-since we plan to pick up where we left off, after the holidays.

Christmas Front Porch and Foyer!

Hello sweet friends!  Happy Thursday!!

Okay- so I know I'm way over due in sharing my Christmas decor with you all, but better late(cough, cough) than never-right?

So without further ado......let's get this tour started with front porch first-and then we'll slip inside to the foyer-where it's a bit warmer!!!








Hubby is in charge of hanging the outside lights, and this year, he went ALL

Happy Sunday all! I hope you are enjoying your weekend.  Hubby and I plan to finish our Christmas shopping today-because next week is all about baking Christmas goodies-and spending some time with my daughter, Mel, and hubby Andy!

A Friday rant (with a small side order of rave)

If you remember, last week I posted that I was back after taking a short break from blogging (and my computer), to spend time with family and enjoy a bit of relaxation.

I said this-even though I knew that this week would be hectic, and indeed, an emotional roller coaster, because mom would be having surgery on Monday, and she'd be staying with us for a few days to recover.

Why was I so foolish

Sensational Sunday Love Links!

Hello sweet friends!!!  I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!  Ours has been pretty low-key, except for our trip into the city yesterday to start our Christmas shopping.

Don't get me wrong.  I LOVE shopping-and I ESPECIALLY love shopping for Christmas presents.

Except, when it comes to ONE particular person!!! I won't name any names-but they know who they are.

You know the kind of folks
