Month: November 2008

  • Christmastime is here!

    Yes, friends, it’s a picture post.

    I did a little decorating, both for the holidays and “just because.”

     

    Here’s my hutch, decked out for the holidays.

     

    Our modest table, with our modest tree.

    The mantel SCREAMS for Santa.

    A Christmas tree filled with our wedding ornaments …

    My desk, with new aqua blue colors.

    Husband’s side of the room:

    Our awesome blue tree:

    My new red bedroom:

    Husband’s childhood ornaments on his very own mini-tree!

    And my work-in-progress bedroom … it’s gonna be sa-weet!

    Besides shopping, what did YOU do today?

  • Attention Black Friday shoppers:

    I am thankful for love in my life,
    I’m glad for family and friends.
    I rejoice for it all—both good fortune and strife …
    Pray that it all never ends!

    Happy Thanksgiving!


    husband and I on Thanksgiving day


    a portion of my beautiful family …


    we even put up a few of our Christmas decorations this morning …

  • The last day.

    As most of us prepared to leave work for the Thanksgiving holiday, over 60 people boxed up their desks and walked through the door for the last time. The layoffs had been announced over a month ago, but today was their last day.

    While we worry about side dishes for tomorrow’s dinner, they’re thinking of how to pay for dinner … mortgage … car … and provide for their family.

    Tonight, I say a prayer for those who were laid off; I also thank God for everything I have.
