Semi-Homemade Christmas Gifts




Every year I try to make a homemade gift for Chris's side of the family. This year I made it much easier on myself and did "semi-homemade" gifts. I ordered the vinyl letters on line then purchase the items I wanted to place them on. It was super easy and done for under $20 each.

Wait, Wait don't tell me!


On Thursday I took the afternoon off and drove up to Atlanta with my friend Deborah to see the NPR show "Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me". Deborah is a huge fan. I had heard of the show but have never listened to it, to be honest the only thing I really listen to on NPR is Prairie Home Companion. Basically it is a quiz show about current events and their are three panelist (comedians) who try and answer the questions, then they have one guest on the show who has to answer questions. The guest for our show was Rick Sanchez from CNN. It was alot of fun and pretty funny. So if you are bored on Saturday check listen to Wait, Wait Don't Tell me on your local NPR station and think of me, cause I was in the audience !

Here's a peek at my Christmas Decorations

This is my newest decoration. I got it from Old Time Pottery. I think it's quite cute for my kitchen.

My festive dining room table all set up for a yummy Christmas dinner.

Our Christmas tree, after 6 years of marriage it's full of fun ornaments!



This little glittery tree is one of my favorite christmas decorations. I made the ornaments a couple of years ago after seeing the ornaments in a "pottery barn" magazine.

I made this last year for my yard. Chris cut me a piece of plywood and I painted the snowman on. It's probably my second favortie Christmas decoration!
