It's finally here...

with only a few last minute things to do.
{a favorite flea market find~ a framed jeweled Christmas tree on red velvet}
My girls are busy making the last few batches of cookies. This is what happens when I forget to set the timer. Ahhh, the smell of burnt cookies throughout the house! My poor kids, they're so used to me burning almost everything :(

Four Days til Christmas....

And I'm no where near done with shopping. It gets so crazy this time of year, I dread getting out into the crowds.
Finally got the tree up and decorated. With not much room in our living room for a tree...it ended up getting squished into this space.
My kids are all out of school for their holiday break. My girls love to bake, so we decided to bake cupcakes. They wanted to make something Christmas~eee{we only had lemon cake mix}so since yellow & blue= Green....
we added blue food coloring to the mix, and ended up with minty green cupcakes.
Since we were using what we had on hand, the only edible red we had: Raspberries. I thought it was a good idea, like little Christmas tree's.
But when they were all done, they stood back & said "they look like nipples...like a plate full of boobs!" NICE! We won't be passing any of these out.
Next time we use sprinkles.

It's not Pastel....

...but I love these colors.
Even though this old wicker rocker is no longer for sitting, I can't bare to get rid of it~ I think I like it best weathered and tattered like this.

This is totally unrelated, but I came across an Etsy Shop{Deerface} last night that has some amazing art prints. These are just a couple of my favorites.


Love them♥ They would be so beautiful framed!

Away We Go.....

I'm under the weather{still} so I decided to lay in bed and watch this movie...
After passing it up at least a dozen times at the video store I decided to rent it. I'm glad I did. It was cute, sweet & funny~ definitely worth watching. Awesome soundtrack too!
