CHRISTMAS IS COMING!

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 2012

YiPpEeeee

Its DECEMBER!

Its been raining, so last night we grabbed some movies,

had dinner our neighbor so graciously blessed us with,

(I only had to make some rice)

and enjoyed our family time!

Guess what were doing today? lol

Same thing.

Its still raining so no Christmas tree hunting.

Kids are bathed,
dinner done,

ornaments are being made in the process,

and about to pop in some B&W Christmas classics

online

we just got for pennies, literally!

I hope you enjoyed the 1st day of December too!

My table has changed to this.

Practically free!

Pinecones picked up from Lake Tahoe-same from the fall table

Old glitter trees, snowflake & ornaments from dollar tree.

NOEL cutout: a Christmas craft NB did last year :)

Green IKEA runner thrifted $1.00

Placemats thrifted $1.50 total

 Other home changes below

I wish I had a before picture of my cupboard & baker's rack.

I seriously was at a loss about the rack,
have been for years.

It held our snack foods and other items.

NO MATTER how nicely I organized it it never looked right.

It looked tacky, unorganized, SO not cute haha

 but I don't have much storage space.

I have my "pantry" in the garage,

basically shelving with food.

I stared at it for so long......

could I cover it with some nice "curtains"?

But then I'd lose the rack behind it.

UNTIL I realized what so many people do.

Snack foods NOW in cupboard

and my dishes on the rack!

All it took was some deep cleaning of the rack,

transferring the items, bringing down the plant from the top shelf,

putting my recipe's down at the bottom

AND

using some drift wood, my peacock feathers & an old sheet to tie it all together!

All for FREE!



I did just recently buy the stone turkey ($3ish) & the hay stalks ($1.75 each) at %75 OFF from

Raley's :)

MORE to come!

PS...

just learned that iCARLY is OVER!!!!

We're huge fans and I'm so disappointed :/

For reals.

I know they gotta grow up

maybe I should too lol

They were a funny bunch!
