Happy Holidays!!!

I finished my tree and decided to put some color on the tree.  I wanted to put all mercury glass but this year could not add to my Christmas decorations in fact I need to unload some of the things I do have before I even think about adding to it.  Do you find you collect a lot of things to decorate your Christmas with?

I also decorate a little  3 foot tree:

Are you finished decorating?  Did you finish your Christmas shopping?  I am still having problems with my reading list...I see it one day and now the list does not show up so I have not been able to visit all my favorite blogs :(

Happy Holidays!!!

My first Christmas decorating!!!

I wanted to share with you a couple of things I have made for my Christmas decorating this year:

I think these are so sweet!!!  Funny story about making this.  I am dog sitting for my son's dog while he is in Thailand, On Wednesday I needed to do some errands so it is the first time I have left the dog alone since he has been here.  When my son Justin got home from school he found the dog ripped open the bag of the "Fake Snow" and it was EVERY WHERE!!!  He must have been upset that I left him alone for the day!!!

I also embellished these snowflakes:

I bought the snowflakes at DT and had the flowers I love the shabby chic look of the snowflakes!!!

Two bucks and I have 20 cute snowflakes!!!!

Enjoy your week!!!!

Some News!!!

My son and his new bride

My son was married today in Thailand

I am sad that I wasn't there  They had their wedding over in Thailand so her mother could be included with the planning.  Her father had passed away so I am glad they married in Thailand for her family

They had their ceremony in a Monk Hospital.  The Monks use the money that they receive for ceremonies like this to raise money for the hospital and the temple.

Love you my son and my new daughter-in-law!!!

Oh Sandy Oh Sandy.......

I am glad we are only going to get some wind and probably some rain with Hurricane Sandy 

The winds are around 30 and the storm is about 270 miles from Orlando.  

I have made something I wanted to share with you 

I had this heart from my "country decor" and so I thought I would try to fix it so I could include it in my shabby chic bedroom

Almost half way done with my strips of dryer sheets.

All done!!! I used strips of dryer sheets to make this...isn't it pretty?

I hope your weekend is wonderful!!!!

I need some help with the new blogger!!!!

Are you frustrated with the new blogger?  I have been having a heck of a time to have the blogs I follow show up.  It says I am not following anyone?  Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong?  Addition to that I am having a problem with Firefox and Google Chrome.  Also been getting some viruses I am guessing from the sites I go to when looking for jobs. 

I haven't written in a month so I thought I would let you know what I have been up to.

I STILL HAVE NOT FOUND A JOB!!!!  Very frustrating and so emotionally draining if I don't find something soon.  I have been blessed that my parents have financially helped me out the past few months, if I do not find a job in the next 4 months I will have to give up and put my stuff in storage and go up to Mich where my parents live. 

Anyway here are a few things I have been working on:

I think I am going to do a little more to this.

Turned these into

the two on the left are the ones I made and the one on the right I bought from Carol at Polka Dot Closet

Changed this shade to this:

Embellished this shade too

Took these hearts and fixed them up to look like

I now want to make some little hearts.

This shade is for my craft table lamp

This weekend in Orlando was beautiful!!!!  Decided to do some painting so I will share that with you when I am finished.

How was your weekend?

I am sorry I haven't visited my blogs I love but if anyone can help me so I can get them back would be so appreciated.
