Living Room Christmas Tree

Here is a pic of the tree in our living room this year. It has a country, woodsy, log cabin feel. Found some really cool ribbon at Jo-Ann's with moose and pine trees on it and it went from there. used a flash to show the grapevine and berry garland...

December is almost here...

and that means crunch time. Time to get those Christmas cards made and sent, with pics in them, teacher gifts made, house cleaned from top to bottom, finish decorating the dining room (even though I don't feel like it right now) and get sewing on pj's for the girls and doll clothes, YIKES!!!

We had a good Thanksgiving weekend. Did the family thing on Turkey Day and went Black Friday shopping. Lisa went with me this year and it is so much more fun shopping with someone than going alone (which is what I have done for years since everyone thinks I am nuts going Black Friday Shopping). I am pretty much done shopping and gifts are wrapped and under the tree, YAY!!!! Even all the Santa gifts are wrapped and stored out of site (next year I may need to hide them at Mom & Dad's). Below is a picture of some wood ornaments I made for some friends this year. Now I need to get crackin' on teacher gifts. Later............

BUCKEYES RULE!

Another OSU v. U of M game in the record books and another OSU victory, how sweet it is! I know you Michigan fans are just seething right now and wanting Lloyd's head, but come on, what goes around comes around. All the years I had to put up with crap from Michigan fans when you were kicking our proverbial rear ends while John Cooper was at the helm, now you know how much fun it is to be made fun of. I won't rub it in, though, but I can't wait till January when we play in the Rose Bowl. :)
