A Peek Of Christmas At My House....

such a busy time of the year

for all of us "moms" out there

we wear different hats the month of december

a "cook's" hat

 a "decorator's" hat

a "baker's" hat

also included would be the super shopper hat

and mindreader (cause we're suppose to know what everyone wants for christmas)

oh....and don't forget housekeeper

cause we all make sure our homes are spic and span for the holidays

and then there would be the "wrapper"

and where are all those gift-wrapping set ups they used to have available in the mall?

by not having them they've added another thing to my list!

well, i'm glad i had a head start on some things

other things, well, they will all get done in their own time

tomorrow is another day

only one more day till christmas

are you ready??

i'll leave you with a few photos from my home....

merry christmas eve!

Spur of the Moment

while we were out looking for some craft fairs to go to

(me, my daughter, my mom and my sister)

we came across a sign at deepwood estate in salem, oregon

that said there was a craft sale there

the...day...before...

apparently they forgot to take the sign down from the previous day

so, when we found that the house was all locked up

we began to explore the gardens

it was a crisp cold day

but that didn't stop us from walking the lovely paths that we saw

it was like a secret garden

and we took advantage of the photo opportunities that it held

here are some shots from our little "excursion"

some times there is a surprise around every corner!

A Blingy Night

it was a very blingy weekend at my home

whatever lola wants lola gets jewelry

had an open house showcasing all of it's lovelies...

take a peek...

thank you to everyone who came out to see what lola's had to offer

and for the praises that were given to me - i am humbled

i hope that you enjoy your purchases

and I hope the gifts bought for those on your lists enjoy them too!

take a peek at some custom work that I just finished

your precious family photos can be put into an heirloom piece you could wear!
