mmmm...fresh pine

we went to the tree farm yesterday and got us a tree! :) we didn't notice until we got home though, that the thing has 2 trunks. who'da thought? if you stand in front of it, it's beautiful. if you stand to the side, it looks like it's about to fall over :P and ryan (nephew) bought a tree. it's this pitiful 3 ft high tree, if it's even that tall. told him he could chop down a little tree for himself, so he picks this thing that has like 5 branches. cute. we told him to find something bigger. he starts crying and says he doesn't want mommy to get poor buying a big tree. we had to hide the laughter :) we finally convinced him to get a bigger tree. not much better, but it's bigger.

my tree is all done :D i just need to figue out how the heck to take a decent picture of it.

Fa la la la la...la la la la

hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

May the Christmas decorating....BEGIN!

muahahahahaha! i got the kitchen and the foyer done. i'll post pics when the whole house is done ^_^

with boughs of holly...

alrighty, i got everything i need for my tree. only thing left is the topper. i'm debating between making an angel or a star.

i turned my pattern in for the 2008 stitch 'n bitch calendar today. so yay!

Deck the Halls...

I'm redoing my tree this year, and decided i wanted a victorian feel. pink ribbons, pink roses, pink glass balls, little crystals to sparkle, and nice white lights. as much as i've looked online, i can find nothing that looks like this. in a way i guess that's good. means i can't copy : P only blot in this plan now is that i can't find pink roses. i can find red ones, i can find white ones, but no pink. so i may have to go with pink poinsettas. if i can find them. i really want to get this all bought before thanksgiving, cause after, all the stores will be crazy. so here's hoping : )
