DECORATING DASH

The entry picture is of the chandalier...so fun to decorate.



We all live busy lives and I am sure that mine is no busier than any other. As of December 10 I still had no decorations up for Christmas and it began to drive me nuts that I was putting everything ahead of one of my favorite hobbies...decorating. So, I put Tatum down for a nap, unhooked the phone, turned up my ipod and began. I gave myself three hours to complete a task that usually is enjoyed over a week. I put up what ever I could in three hours and the rest will look new to me next year. Only one tree instead of two...the upstairs only no downstairs decorations, 6 of my 10 totes emptied but I love it just the same.
My mom made these to die for stockings.
I can brag about how cute they are because
I didn't make them. My mom is amazing
in everyway. I gave her a picture out of
Ballard Design and she produced these adorable
stockings.
