Stuck In On Saturday

Hello out there! I'm probably not alone, I'm sure there are many of us stuck at home on this very cold Saturday night. I had big plans for today...we were all set to head to Ikea this morning...I got up at 7:45 to get ready and was greeted with 3 inches of snow and still coming down! Disappointed a little...but oh well, at least I'll get to watch the game...and then of course UofL lost...again! What is up with them. So...I've pretty much wasted this day away, not really doing much of anything. It's a little after 8 and I'm just now starting to get a little energy, guess I'll try to clean the house or something. Hope you are doing something fun!

January Blues.....

If you are anything like me....you are probably a bit blue and praying for the sun to show itself at least a little! I get a little depressed this time of year and start looking for ways to entertain myself inside......right now, I'm working on helping my brothers do a little remodeling in their rooms. They haven't updated anything in about ten years...so it's a bit of a chore to say the least! It's keeping me occupied at the moment.

Speaking of bad weather and winter.....if you suffer at all with dry skin that is sensitive because of the winter conditions....you might try Lush's dream cream. I just started using it and love it! I have really dry skin and in the winter, I suffer a little with Eczema...but this cream really seems to help. It's pretty heavy, so if you aren't really dry...you may not like it. I also love their store. If you get a chance, stop in...it's really cool!

My latest favorite thing!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We hope that the coming year is a good one for you and yours!

It's hard to believe that Christmas has blown by us once again and we are getting ready to start a new year! Wow, I'm not sure I accomplished all I had in mind for 2009, but I've certainly learned a few things and know what I hope for in the year to come.

                          Here are a few of our Christmas pics....

It's starting to look a little like Christmas!

It's hard to believe that we are already in the 2nd week of December! We attempted to get our Christmas shopping started tonight....but, I think we picked the worst day, as far as weather, so far this year! Just our luck. We did get a few things done and at least we are started.

We did however start getting our house decorated! Yay! I love the way my house feels when we put out all our decorations. There is just something warm and special about the glow of the tree and the twinkle of all the lights around the house. I just love it!!

Josie and Ava came over and helped us with the tree. They were so great! We had lots of fun....they are so full of energy and life, wish I could bottle some of that up!

Here are a few pictures......

Ava dancing....she danced all night!

                                       ahhhhh.....at last the tree is done!

Christmas Bazaar

Yay! It's finally over...we made it through the Christmas show today! We had a really good time together, and it turned out so much better than I thought. My sisters and neice are so creative and talented and I'm so blessed to have them in my life, they are not just family, they are my best friends!

We all worked pretty hard over the past couple weeks, trying to get our stock ready and also all our display stuff. Rebekah did a fabulous job on our display...it looked awesome! Alex worked her fingers to the bone...she pretty much created and sewed every add-on bow that we had! Teresa crocheted some beautiful flowers and designed our lastest favorite item...which is a fabric collar that is really amazing. I love them all...(we will be adding those to the etsy site soon and if you haven't seen them, you'll want to check them out!) Amber created and designed our extra small line, they have a really cute and unique snap-on bow. We should have those out on the site soon too...too cute! Also, thanks to Josh  for getting my sign order ready last night...our sign was adorable!

Just want to say thanks to everyone who helped and put up with me over the past week or so....I've been a little crazy!

Here are some pics from the day.....

Thanksgiving is probably one of my favorite holidays.......time to get together with your friends and family and just enjoy each other, and of course all the wonderful food! Hope you have a great day and can take time to enjoy all the things that you are thankful for!
