In the midst of all of my holiday shopping madness, I sat down over the weekend and made myself a little something for all of $2! Yup, I'm such a big spender - lol: This is a simple Dollar Store prayer candle with a fabulous Keep Calm and Carry On image that I got off of Etsy for...$1 (graphique.etsy.com) that I Mod Podged on. I am keeping to a tight Xmas gift budget this year but...
Although I haven't been ice skating in years and was never quite good at it, I do love the look of them in the wintertime. This is a pair I did a couple of years ago when I first started blogging.

We're planning on putting up our tree this weekend, but in the meantime wanted to share some more Christmas touches about the house.

Right now they are on a shelf...
Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving yesterday. We enjoyed a nice, quiet, peaceful day at my Mom's. I needed the relaxation because today I officially started to decorate for Xmas. These are just little packages to put under our tree (which hasn't gone up yet) while we countdown to the 25th.
