2010

2009 has been an amazing year for me. I have a new son in law, daughter in law, and two new grand kids. In addition, I have some amazing new friends. I have started a small business and found the world of blogging. I am looking with anticipation to 2010. Thanks for being a part of it.

Mr.& Mrs. Matthew Johnson

We are proud to announce the marriage of our daughter Melissa Hilliard to Matthew Johnson on Dec. 19th.

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

REASON FOR THE SEASON

I have almost been to busy to reflect on the real meaning of Christmas. I am sending Seasons blessings to all my blogging buddies. Please pause to give thanks to God.

TWO DAYS AND COUNTING

This wreath is part of our outdoor decorations.

I purchased this old winter scene picture from an antique store in Mountain Home Ak. I love it so much I plan on leaving it up all yr long.

Even my dining room chandelier has a little extra bling during the holidays.

I found my cute kitchen Santas at Kohls this year for 50% off. The globe from Hobby Lobby with my 40% off coupon.

This is my $20 doll house from a garage sale. It's the perfect color for Christmas. I love to decorate the Grandkids room for Christmas. They like to go to sleep with just the white Christmas lights on. I'm sure they are having dreams about the big day.

JUST A FEW MORE

VILLAGES PART TWO

I FELL IN LOVE 10 YEARS AGO

I bought my first Vintage Christmas ornament 10 years ago, and I treasure each and every one of them.

IT TAKES A VILLAGE!

I know my favorite part of the Christmas decorations at my house are my villages. I get lost in the magic of the glitter, lights, and figures. I know there is a child in all of us, and these certainly bring out the child in me.

OPEN HOUSE SNEAK PEAK

Finally: a Daughter-in-Law

Im happy to announce I have a new Daughter-in-Law, Jennifer.

I DID IT LISA!

I'm so excited over posting my first etsy all by myself. Thanks so much to Lisa http://tarnishedandtattered.blogspot.com for teaching me how.

BUSTING AT THE SEAMS!

I took a deep breath after work and dove into my booth at Collected Treasures. After trade days I was so tired I just piled everything in there. I thought my booth was full before Trade Days. Of course my husband said, the things you don't sell aren't coming home with us , are they? I said, of course not dear. For some reason he wants his garage back. Please try to stop by. I have some really good prices, because I want more room for the Christmas Open House.
