Most Wonderful Time of Year....

Yep, that is right, I absolutely love Christmas. This year worked out well with Greg being gone it allowed me to put my Christmas stuff without hearing anyone complain that it was too early (I have not done the outside yet, figured I would wait for my wonderful husband to help with that!). I have set everything out but my village, simply because I can't decide where I want to set it up at. I am mainly posting these picture for the ladies at the bank, as they have told mom that they bet I have one super tree, and while my tree is by no means "super" it is me and I love it, however, I wouldn't have it without my wonderful mom. My mom has given me ornaments along with my cousins every year for Christmas for as long as I can remember, I think all of the ornaments on the tree are from her with the exception of my 5 or 6 that I have bought, but rest assured I haven't bought many. And I don't know what I would do without Aunt Jo, she once again came through last year with a wreath and I have another one for her to do this year, she just doesn't know it yet. As for the candle holders, I did those myself this year and I must say I am pretty impressed, they actually turned out well and look really nice. So I hope you all enjoy and Happy Holidays!!


This is our "office" tree....My mom started giving Greg a&m ornaments when we got married so I found it fitting to set up in the office, since everything else in there is a&m.


This is my main tree in our entry way....with all my ornaments


So this is the wreath that Aunt Jo made me last year with the garland mom put up, came out of the box pretty well, didn't have to do anything to it!!


My creation this year....


Last but not least my willow tree figurines...they are my table centerpieces and I love them!

Who Says???

Okay so who says that I am not a country girl. While I have a project due on Thursday that I really should have been working on, since I am getting a paper on Tuesday that is also due Thursday, I decided that it was way too pretty to spend the day inside, so out to work in the yard it was. I started by picking all the weeds in the flower bed and cutting off my dead leaves on ives in the front, imagine my shock when I moved to the back and found a visitor, needless to say th visitor is now one dead visitor.






I have no idea what kind of snake it is, but to me the only good snake is a dead one. I am not a big fan of them!!
