12/30/2011 QOTD

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
 

Steve Jobs

Oh, the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person; having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but to pour them all out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, knowing that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then, with a breath of kindness, blow the rest away.

George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)

12/16/2011 QOTD

Buying something on sale is a very special feeling. In fact, the less I pay for something, the more it is worth to me. I have a dress that I paid so little for that I am afraid to wear it. I could spill something on it, and then how would I replace it for that amount of money?

Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly

Fa La La La La La La....

This sweet elf basket was a little gift from Izzy.
It came filled with Christmas bath goodies which I enjoyed last night.

This is the first year that Michael is tall enough to put the Angel on the tree.
My baby is getting so big. Sniff Sniff.

My ornaments come from various people and places but all come with memories.
This snowman ball is one of my favs and it was given to me by my Mom.
Miss you Mom.

This beautiful ornament was hand crafted by Kandice using an egg shell.

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...

Here is small assortment of the Snowmen I collect.

Hope your homes are being decorated with the magic and memories of
Christmas' past and present.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
