A Christmas Give-Away and Randomness

Please pop over to Kristens for a very cute Christmas give-away she is having!

How was everyone's Thanksgiving? Ours was so nice!
We have bought a live tree this year and put it up, it is decorated with all of our kids ornaments and a hodge-podge of a collection from my Mom and Richard's Mom. I will be taking pics and a video later this week.

I have been taking advantage of the many coupons that are out there for Bath&Body Works and have gotten so many fun smelling soaps and lotions! What is your Fav. from Bath&Body Works this year? I love the new Twisted Peppermint and have gone thru 2 of their candles so far.

Our weather here is cold, wet, rainy and we are dropping down to low 30 tonight which will then turn all of this rain into Snow!! So not ready for it as we have yet to really get the barn ready for Winter.

I'm off to start my new book tonight, I am starting to read any of the Amish Holiday books I can find to put me in the Christmas spirit. What are you Reading right now?

Remembering.....

2 years ago we lived in a much smaller house and everything seems to just fit. Today the rooms are larger and my collections are small...My bedroom has taken on a whole new look with my new comforter, I'm going for a more Old English Inn Horsey look..lol..got that? My kitchen is now filled with white/blue sponge ware and roosters. My living room has a nice collection of Americana growing, which I love and am proud to display! Here is our lil place 2 years ago....





Which is a better place to display pics..Web Shots or Picture Trail? I want to show off my new collections and my hand-stitched crafts.

It was nice going down memory lane on this rainy Wed...Thanks for coming along Friends!

Happy June and a Hail Storm

I can't believe it's June already, it's a good month cuse my B-day is on the 25th...I'll be 31..GASP...I can't believe I admitted that..still feel like I'm 18..lol..

We have been busy with the yard..mowing and weedwacking..6 acres can get out of hand so fast! Hoss is enjoying being able to stay outside full time.

We had an afternoon storm today that has brought nickel size Hail, the kids are enjoying watching it and I had to snap a pic, Tankers did not wet his pants..He spilled some juice in the kitchen..I just now spotted poor boys pants..lol..

I better run, the storm is picking up...

Feeling Better, Thanks Ya'll

I'm feeling better, I made myself fold the laundry and clean the house. Friday night we went to a supper at Church and a Graduation assembly for 2 of the kindergarten kids, was up very late..lol.. then today we worked all day in the yard mowing and weeding (DH is now having a bad allergy attack) and I got the grocery shopping done. Tomorrow is Church and then home to relax..Only 2 more days of school, Tuesday is the last day and Crystal gets home early.

I'm feeling so much better, I often over think everything and give myself the "Blues", Thanks for such nice and caring comments! It's good to know you have Friends in Blogland!
