Cute X-mas Gift!!!!

Everyone needs a cute notepad, right?
I found this cute idea online....no idea where, so please let me know if it was you!!! These are great little, dirt cheap (always a bonus) gifts that would be perfect for just about anyone! All it takes to make one is a 5x7 plastic frame(the kind that stands), some cute paper, some post-it notes and your favorite photo. Cut paper to fit into the frame, glue picture onto your paper. Then, insert it into the frame, so that the stand in the back of the frame is at the top where your post-its will go! Pop on the post-it notes and your ready to go! These would be super cute with those flower pens that you can make!!! Hope you like....

Vintage Brett

I took these pictures the other day of Brett. The outfit he has on is Nic's old outfit-my sister says it "very vintage". I guess it is. I love me some chuuby little legs! I need to find a pic of Nic wearing it!

I wasn't kidding!

Remember when I said that Thanksgiving wasn't my favorite holiday? I really don't have much to decorate the house, so therefore I am not a big Thanksgiving person. The food doesn't impress me all that much. I will say, however, that my wonderful husband made an "early" Thanksgiving dinner last week and it was delish. He made the turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie all by his lonely self....Brett and I were shopping. So, when we got home, all I had to do was throw together some stuffing and a broccoli dish and we were set!!!! I am very proud of him-how many guys would even WANT to attempt to make a pie? That's what I thought. My parents and sister and some friends came over for round 1 of the Thanksgiving dinners that we will be eating this holiday. I did come up with a cute centerpiece of our "dinner". It looks really neat when the candle is lit. I just took a few fake leaves and glued them together and then taped it to one of my hurricane vases ( I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE hurricane vases/holders!!!!)

Two AWSOME websites!!

I have discovered two crazy websites/blogs. The first one is right up my ally!!! If you know me at all, then you will know that the Dollar Tree is a weekly stop for me...sometimes more! How cool is this site? http://dollarstorecrafts.com (Yes, I realize that some of it is crap, but it's still cool!)

Second, there is this crazy-fun site called Wordle....I can spend hours on here creating stuff!!! Check it out! http://www.wordle.net/

Bye Bye Halloween, Hello Holidays!

I took down the Halloween decor yesterday....I'm sad. I am "trying" to save $$$ and do a cheap-ish Thanksgiving decor so that I can really enjoy Christmas decorations. I will post what I have done for Thanksgiving when I finish. So, I heard yesterday that Starbucks has started THE red cups! It must be the holidays!!! I don't know why I get so excited over a stupid cup. Something about it totally gets me in the holiday mood. Maybe it's the cup and the drink that is inside it-A FF peppermint mocha. Yum!!! I am sitting here drinking one that I concocted at home to satisfy me for now-1 pack of SF hot choc, 1 spoonful of instant coffee, 1 spoonful of Ovaltine (makes it nice and rich), and a TBSP of Coffeemate's Peppermint creamer. I have to say, it's not bad for a knock-off!!! Here are some Halloween night pics ( I was a doctor)Enjoy!
