my day went like this...

well, I had very good intentions of getting some outside photos today...

but it was spitting snow...

so I didn't even get off of the porch...

and I ducked back inside rather quickly...

I am a WIMP..

so then I sat down to fiddle around a little...

and here is a toilet paper roll...

excuse my mess...

but I work better in chaos...

and I cropped and glued and had fun...

just  a random bunch of stuff...

I do not know how to price these so I am just going to wing it...

and get them ready for my BF to put them in our booth...

then after supper...

Craig took off for Tia's to watch Rudolph...

and Doug had this idea of driving around looking at lights...

this is such a major family tradition for us...

you can see the city's decorations on the poles...

this is Main Street...

my friend's furniture store...

and where the toy distribution is going to be for Christmas Is A Child...

a small Victorian home here in town...

the square...

one side of the square...

Steve went with us and both dogs...

Bebe is a good rider...

Moses was scared...

but he rode better in the floor than on my lap...

we will have to work on him with this...

so he can ride around with me when the weather is better...

so that was it...

nothing fancy today...

I also did dishes, fixed supper and took a shower...

and then there was the nap...

and of course-

I BLOGGED!

White Wednesday Time...

My BF called and said the linky was up already...

of course I wasn't ready...

not sure what I wanted to post...

so why not something Christmasy?

this little snowman jar was painted by a friend of mine...

she would come and set up every year I hosted a Christmas show on the square...

and she would almost sell out every time...

she is also my neighbor a block north...

then I have this little white nutcracker in the kitchen with the vintage cookie cutters...

my BF gave me the nutcracker with many others this size several years ago for Christmas...

the cookie cutters are taller than the chef...

oops!...

and what's Christmas without kisses?...

they have a WHITE tag...

for you...

Reputation is what men and women think of us; character is what God and angels know of us.

middle of the night photo shoot..

morning, ladies...

it was sure a busy week last week...

and the time flew by...

my nativity...

a little red bird...

I have been busy this morning...

going from one thing to another...

but I need a nap...

didn't get much sleep last night...

these shots all of the mantle in the kitchen...

and this is the tree in the living room...

my guys...

especially my DH...

loves colored lights...

and no theme trees for in here...

this is a family tree...

and it represents our lives together...

we add new ornaments every year...

but some of these have been with us since we were first together...

when we were first married...

and money was tighter than it is now...

all the Christmas stuff was bought the day after Christmas on the 50-75% racks...

can you believe that someone gave this tree away?...

it has a cast iron base with hearts in it...

it's 8 foot tall...

crazy cooters...

I'm glad they did...

we gave it a home...

and a new tradition begins...

happy day to you!
