. It is November, the sun is bright and shining (please, oh please let it stay this way!) the air is cool and crisp, and I am excited to be officially in Holiday mode! I love Halloween, but more for the fun of seeing everyone dressed up, for our annual Halloween Hoopla party and for the changing of the season that it brings with it than for any real nostalgic or aesthetic ...

Easy Candle Christmas Craft Gift
Looking for an easy Christmas craft to make and give? Try this candle and matches set... This Christmas I had intended on being a little more crafty. I had grand hopes of making softies for everyone out of gloves and socks. I was going to make my mother and sisters cute little sock dolls that looked like them, and had little stories to accompany them... But alas that did not happen. I read the ... View Post
The Tree, 2007
As some of you will remember from last year's post , I have an affinity for pitiful tree's. I think it is the Charlie Brown in me. For some reason I love an airy tree, a wispy tree...

Sunday after I went to the early service at ... View Post

This week has been all about tying up loose ends, which for some reasons seems like it takes way more energy than it should. I still have billing and returns to do, but if I can just get some curtains hung tomorrow for a client, then the only ... View Post
As Promised, A RedNeck Tree Hunt
*Disclaimer: I am a city girl. However I married a part-country boy. Some things cannot be helped. Maybe it is because I decorate so many full, expensive, lovely tree's - both real and fake - or maybe it is because I am just odd, but either way, I like unique Christmas tree's. I rarely do the same thing for more than a year or 2 ,and it is never normal. I bring Outdoor tree's in. I set up fake ... View Post
