Let's Ring in the New...

The holidays are winding down now, and I must say that this year seemed to be the best in several years.  I spent time with my kids and grandkids, finally decorated like I used to, and did not overspend.  But as the tree continues to drop needles, and I am feeling a bit crowded, I know it is time for the Christmas holiday to end.  But that's not a bad thing.  There is a whole new year ahead of us and I have a very strong feeling that it is going to be the best ever!

I got a great new camera for Christmas.  I was a bit intimidated at first, but I think the camera and I are getting used to each other.  I took these pictures of my dogs yesterday....Doesn't it look like they are driving?

All I can say is: Look out world!  I could be dangerous with this camera.  I'm sure you will be seeing my videos on YouTube.  I have some great ideas for new products and I am just itching to get at them.  But first things, first.  Gotta clean up the holiday mess first.  We are babysitting for our 2 month old granddaughter Saturday night.  I am looking forward to that!

Have a great day and the happiest of new years.  I will be back in 2012!

What 'cha workin' on Wednesday????

Details, details.  That's what I'm working on.  The big day is almost here and I am like a little kid, loving the festivity, the sparkle, the excitement.  Today I am running to the bank, dropping off a donation to Goodwill, picking up the last gifts on the list, and taking a deep breath.   Yesterday I took Quest and Skylar shopping for their Christmas clothes, a tradition started when Quest was born.  I buy new outfits for each of the kids.  Skylar chose a beautiful black dress (she looks so grown up!) after trying on 8 dresses.  Quest, on the other hand, went to the rack, picked out a sweater and pants and he was done.  We are expecting a snow storm again tonight so I want to go home and get cozy by the fire.  Friday, I doing all the cooking and cleaning so I can enjoy the family this weekend.
I took a picture of the item that I bought at the Country Christmas gift show.  I added some ribbon and lights, but I just love this truly rustic item.  It is an old chair, whitewashed, with the seat either removed or replaced with an enameled wash tub filled with pine cones.  Don't you just love it?

It's unlikely that I will post before Christmas, so we want to wish you all the best of holidays with your loved ones.  Merry Christmas!
