Winter Wonderland...little "forests" popping up at my house...




Well, the Christmas decor is pretty much packed away for another year...I really have a hard time "letting it go".  My 5 year old felt the same way...


...so I decided to leave a few "trees" out for her.


Why not?  After all, we live in Minnesota...there's a lot more winter to "enjoy"!!


Complete with snow.


Do you love my little aqua box?  I got it at Marshall's.


I got these white trees there too.  They were supposed to be for jewelry...but as you know, I rarely use things "as intended".  What fun would that be??


Here's another little "forest" on the buffet...next to my birthday gift from my husband and kiddos...Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound.  It's from DaySpring.com...OK, so now you know, not everything I own is DIY, thrifted and repurposed "junk".  Gasp!!!  But mostly ;)


And here's my version of the "Funnel Tree"...on candle sticks :)

 
Sharing this week at...
 
And now that my house it pretty much back in "order"...I can get busy messing it up again getting ready for this show coming soon...
 

We did it last year and it was SO MUCH FUN!!!  
If you'd like to see pictures from that event, you can see them HERE :)
Hope you can make plans to attend...I can't wait!!
 
Have a great weekend,

  14. Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
    (1) If you want your ex back.
    (2) If you want to stop having bad dreams.
    (3) You want to be promoted in your office.
    (4) You want women/men to run after you.
    (5) If you want a child.
