Official Snow Day!

Thank you God for the dose of snow... it made me sing FA LA LA LA LA... LA LA LA LA all day long! Even though it's a few days shy of when I will "officially" embrace Christmas I'll take it where I can get it after fighting my Fa La La La La drought last year; and really? Who can resist puppy paws in the snow and a snowy face? He makes me melt.

So does the one in the red hat.... Snowy family photo!

And here's our snowy alley; 3 inches, 4 in some places, and up to 5 and 6 in other places.

We' have a bit of snow in the hall of our apartment, I give that credit to the amazing wind storm we had last night, I'm thankful we still have power as the south end is struggling with that today.

So there ya go... two blog posts in one day... :)

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off. This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it! I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
