barbie's and Christmas Cards...

I was at Big Lots the other day and saw these new Barbie's they had, I started laughing because they reminded me of my kids...

hahaha, I thought it was so funny I bought them, of course my kids think I am weird...

so yesterday off to take Christmas card photos...

the usual goof balls...

seventy five photos,

and they just kept getting more silly,

but I love it!!!!

maybe I should just put her on the cards this year...

ok, these are the only two that came out!!!

I really love taking them out to take their pictures, its so fun, and one of the best memories of Christmas!

remember its the little things that are the most precious!

rosemary wreath...

I always make rosemary wreaths for Christmas....

smells so good...

I have two huge rosemary plants, sooooo organic, no feterlizer or sprays...

I use a wire hanger and shape it into a heart, rosemary and wire from the Dollar Tree...

just lay the cut rosemary and attach with the green wire, I then add a piece of antique ribbon...

I sell these in my booth and give as gifts.

If you would like to order one, they will be available in my Etsy shop...

they are $12.00, plus $4.00 shipping,

and measure 14"H x 11"W.

and will be made fresh for you.

burlap and spakles....

using what I have..
an antique chair, sparkle wreath, burlap and some keys...

I like the rustic with a little sparle,

off to my booth!

real or fake?

Do you have a real Christmas tree or a fake one?
well, we have fake ones...
reasons....they don't dry out, no needles, and you only pay once for them...
but....

when your princess asks for a cute little real tree...

you have to say...OK!!!...

then she has to narrow it down...

while her brother is dying of boredom...

and hooray...her perfect tree...

then it has to go into the grocery store with us...

what if someone else takes it...

the perfect pot for it...

and now is just waiting for her to decorate it!!!!!
