Jingle bell jingle bell rock...

Oh yes it's that time of the year again. One we were celebrate by eating, drinking and being merry. Oh and we give presents and decorate and drink hot cocoa !!! Sense how much I love Christmas time? Normally Mr. B and I put up two and half tree. Yes a half, because we have a small Nightmare before Christmas Tree we put up too. But this year this is the only tree that will be up because of the anticipation of our babe's arrival. (Babies have a lot of items and we need room). We picked the white tree only to be set up this year because of it's location, next year it's back to business as usual.

And well, with Christmas time comes Christmas cards. I wasn't even going to do this at all this year but I figured it was my last time to make a card. Next year I think we will put the babe's gorgeous face on it, like most proud parents do !

As always a select few gets them. I don't think these 18 people realize just how darn lucky they are !!!!

Not my best work but hey, I had to work with what I had, including a large 38 week month belly !

And a little personalization =) Always BB made

So do you make cards? Do you send cards? Do you send picture cards? Do you love this year or what? I'd love to hear what others do too, so please feel free to leave me a little comment love !

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Tea bag magic

Don't mind this super old picture of our home. This was when we first moved in but I needed to show the coloring of the chair when it was first purchased. We bought this chair from Ikea when we first purchased our home. It was just okay to me but it fit where I wanted so I worked with it for a while. I played around with different pillows and blankets for the chair but nothing ever really felt right. Until recently, when I decided to take off the bottom cushion cover and dye it with tea bags. I have done the application twice and I think I have finally gotten it to the desired coloring. Take a look. Original 1st application 2nd application Another view So maybe now it will feel a bit better in the room. Not sure if I will go for a third application or change up the New York pillow.

Family

I began to write a posting on July 17, before we knew what God had planned for our sweet Kim.... Kim was taken home that evening to heaven. My entire family is in shock. As I am writing this, tears are running down my face.... Please sweet Jesus watch over Kim, she is safe now with you and is in no pain. Please watch over our family, heal our hearts as we keep Kim alive within ourselves.: "I don't have a very large extended family. Some may think it is, but in reality, it's truly not. I have a few aunts, a few uncles and a few cousins. Most live in different states and many times, communication is sparse. But we are all bonded, in an unspoken way. When one of us is in need, we all speak up and rally. My cousin Kim lives in North Carolina. I have not seen her in "real life" in many years. Maybe the last time was my wedding ? ! But we keep up on each others lives via Facebook. When she recently visited my mom, I was able to see her via Facetime.... Love techno...
