Metamorphosis Monday and an Icy Blue Christmas

Hi there! I hope you and yours had a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! We did and now I’m ready to move on to Christmas, I so love decorating for the holidays!  This week I wanted to share with you our Christmas tree before and after.  Hope it inspires someone out there in blog land.

BEFORE – Our new 7.5ft pre-lit tree from Hobby Lobby bought half off.

 

After – Decorated with Silver, White, Blues and Glittered Ornaments, the pieces on top coming out of the tree are by Martha Stewart purchased in 2007 at Macy’s.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you stop over at Susan’s Between Naps on the Porch to see all the others participating in Met Monday.

Thankful

Hope everyone had as wonderful of a day as we had here in Conroe (Houston), Texas! It was filled with love, food, family and lots of laughter. 

Wishing all of you a wonderful Holiday Season!

Home at Thanksgiving

Hi there! I hope your plans are going smoothly in preparation for Thanksgiving!  Today I worked on finishing up an album I started last Friday night at my favorite scrapbooking store, By Design.  They had Janet Hopkins come in for another round of classes and I was able to take one.  As you can see from my previous post I am a big Janet Hopkins of House of 3 fan!  I ended up re-doing my front door once I got home and so I added the “at Thanksgiving” to mine.  Yep, mine is going to be not only about our home but our home at Thanksgiving.  I am still working on it but I will be back to share the inside pages. 

Welcome

A few months ago I took a class at By Design given by Janet Hopkins of House of 3.  We made a welcome sign using some digital elements from the House of 3 printed on cardstock and transparencies.  We also used some ledger paper, a door knob and a few other things.  At the time I took the class I shared a photo of my unfinished project so wanted to share with you the finished sign and how it looks hanging in our hallway. Hope everyone has a great week.

A Major Cutie!

This cutie pictured here is my friends little boy, Major.  He was born with Down Syndrome, isn’t he the cutest little thing you ever saw!  I am excited to have joined Major’s League.  We are raising money for the Down’s Syndrome Association.  If you have a chance please visit my page by clicking here to help us raise money for this great cause.
