Luigi & Angelo...

...in their holiday collars.

Cute boys.

A little bit of this...

...& a little bit of that

will soon equal

holiday collars for

the boys :)

Gotta love the Dollar

Store this time of year...

Holiday...

...decorations are in the works.

Handmade wreaths, dining light

made festive with newspaper

snowflakes, happy holidays

sign hung over the fireplace,

tiny antique Christmas trees

& the decorated tree with my

handmade star topper.

More to come...

Goodwill finds...

...& a few new things

around the house.

Excited to start

decorating for

the holidays.

First...

...holiday project for the year.

Grapevine words with

the addition of glitter &

strips of fabric.

I'll decide where to hang

them after I put up the tree.

Another baby book...

...& this one has lots of color.

It says "baby girl we love you".

I really like the way it turned out.

Organized...

...my craft area this weekend &

got started on a couple more projects.

I found the crate I'm using to store my

fabrics at the Goodwill for $1.

I stuck the fabric in the little slots

& hung it on the wall, so much better.

Oh how i love a good deal!

Final pics of the antique book wall

art coming soon...

Cute book...

...for baby Reagan.

Her room was decorated

in yellow, black & white...

it's adorable & was refreshing

to see a little girl's room

in a color other than pink.

Love the creativity &

so excited for Ash & Chris!

The family...

...gathering to celebrate

Shirley's life.
