And She Scores! (Great Shopping Deals)


In the last post, I told you about what a fun girl’s weekend I had!

This, is the rest of the story:

During our girls weekend, my friend from Utah had to work.  She works for Delta and needed to train in some people from Alaska Airlines, so I had some time to myself.

What did I do?

I shopped!

The afghan covered furniture pieces were fantastic!  I knew I had to try it! Read more

I’d collected ornaments from Goodwill and garage sales.

I’d picked up a Christmas tree from a friend who had decided to give it away.

But last year, sadly, I was just too sick to get all my decorations up, and that tree stayed in the basement.

But this year…

This year is different.

Without further ado, take a look at my dining room Christmas.  A moment of silence to appreciate the beauty…

A Kitchen Christmas


Welcome to my kitchen!

Remember when I told you my whole house changes over for Christmas?

Yes, even the kitchen.

There are a couple special pieces in my kitchen…

The “Our Father” sampler that you see is one that my Mom made when she was young.  I absolutely love it and had Tim frame it with wood from an old door we found!   Read more
