Sad to say my day was as boring as the title of this post! I wish it was good boring. But I really got nothing done. One of my sweet puppy visitors awakes at 3:30 am. And then another little sweetie SNORES. I mean SNORES!
So I didn’t even get to sleep. I went out to run errands and came home to the trash can turned over. All that’s in my trash can is coffee grounds and cigarette butts (neither of which are mine) so I got to clean it up! YEAH!
I bought these while I was out
I will be doing this for the rest of the day!
Valentines is right around the corner. I’m a little sad but I’m ready to move on. I am most ready for 2010!
Hugs, Lisa

I love Christmas traditions. The Advent wreath, an Advent Calendar, the lights, the Christmas tree with all the decorations I have been given over the years, the candle light service at church.
We will be off in a few hours to the service and then home to be together as a family. We will do something really wonderful like Christmas specials on tv, BUT we are together and because we have seen them all before the children can talk all they want to.
I wish all of you the Happiest of Christmases and a Blessed New Year!
Hugs, Lisa, Casey, Molly and Spunky!
I finally got pictures of my Christmas projects made!
My mother found these blank journals in her storage and I decorated one for Christmas.
I used scrapbook paper and a packs of premade stickers and embellishments but I still think it is very cute.
Back cover. My nephews had drawn on them with marker so they had to be covered. It was fine I like how it all worked.
Inside front cover. I found a great stamp set and this is of the beginning of the Night Before Christmas.
This is more Victorian but I had to use it.
Inside the back cover. The song is Silent Night. It was on some great paper I got.
This was my first project. I do so like Santa!
I am a great gluer! hehe
I love the simple things that I can do in one sitting. I have never been good at long term projects. Guess I’ll work with what I’ve got!
I was excited to find this wreath! I used my artificial one on the advent wreath so I was glad to find a real one for $8!!
It is too fat and the storm door smashes it. But It sure smells good when you walk in and out the door!!
It is in the 30’s here for another day. I love the cold. I am so glad we got cold because the storm here in the east really didn’t give the Raleigh/Durham area anything to write about.
I hope it stays cold through next week. I don’t really like a warm Christmas.
Merry Christmas!
Hugs, Lisa
Just a few more shots of the Christmas at my house!
This is a collection of my vintage goodies. I gather them up as I see them. More than a few are from Suzanna’s!
This is my nightstand. My mother gave me the bottle brush tree and the snowman one year and the Santa another. I get these great goodies here and there.
These are new. I bought the fillings for super cheep at Joann Fabrics and added the Christmas balls.
Ok this isn’t Vintage either but I just had to. She thinks I make her look like a dork in this coat but I think it is tooo cute!! You cannot see the sweet faux fur collar on it. Actually Molly is on a diet and I can really tell when I put her coat on her that she needs to stay on her diet a little longer. She does like her food though. Boy I wish someone could feed me twice a day and I’d loose a pound a month and be ok with it! hehe
Hope you all have a festive and happy weekend!
Hugs, Lisa
