Wednesday Window Late on Thursday

Ok - he is going to kill me when he sees this.  It was Christmas morning 2003.  He knows how to make us smile!

Santa Swap!

I was so excited to get my package from Brie (briehernandez.blogspot.com)!!!! It was all packaged in a cute snowman box, since I love snowmen.  There were a bunch of mint choclate candy canes (a few are missing from the picture) and a police badge from where she works.  There were also a cute pair of bow earrings and a beautiful pair of earrings that she made! Oh, a Texas Christmas card, too!

Thanks Brie!!!! Merry Christmas.
and thank you to The Mommy Files for doing this!

Wednesday Window

 This is a picture of my sister and I around 1971.  I am the one on the left if you haven't guessed.  I miss taking my children to see Santa (now they are 18 and 15).  Buying for Christmas gets harder and harder as they get older. Before my daughter wanted a Barbie and my son wanted a toy truck - now my son wants a real "Barbie" and my daughter wants a real truck!

Wednesday Window

Ok, it is December - my studio is decorated! (All I do is put up a wreath - the lights on the railings stay up year round, because it is so dark out there and I have fallen down the steps one too many times.)  But it is hard to believe that we have had our studio for 1 year now.  Time goes by so quickly!!!!
