WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PICTURE HEAVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well here is some eye candy.....
Now I am super late in posting some LO's. and Pictures...so here goes. This layout I did with Little Yellow Bicycle and prima flowers....I can never get enough flowers.
Black Friday SHOPPING!!!!!!!!! WHOOO HOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
Boy did I have fun. This was the first time I have left so early. My first pit stop was at Walmart...at 1:23am.....All for some electronics...I tell you. I have been BF shopping for years, and Ady and I have teamed up for quite a while already...but we have never taken pictures..so I made sure to take pictures to document our tradition this year.
This is my partner in crime Ady and me. We had so much fun as always!!!!
This is my son and my sis Margie...waiting diligently for our turn....my sister has cracked me up....it was her first time going Black Friday Shopping....he,hee,hee...she was a virgin and a bit scared....he,hee,hee..she had be in stitches.
This is my aunt Celina. Every Thanksgiving she puts on a huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge feast for us...and I do mean HUGE! She bakes and cooks for over 3 days....She just wants us to show up...we bring very little because that is her thing....She is amazing, and honestly the food was so yummo again this year!!! She made a stuffing with chorizo that was out of this world!!!! I love you titi!!! You outdid yourself AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the best!!!!
This is such a great picture...I have a picture of me and my aunt doing the same thing when I was MUCH YOUNGER...now it's my aunt and my daughter doing the same thing I did with her....I see a layout coming down the pike.
This is my aunt, my great uncle and my mom....they are so funny!!!
Very emotional for me...when my dad came in he went directly to my grandma to say hello...it was very touching...I saw for the first time in my life that my dad is getting older.
Thanks for sticking it out....
Happy Monday!
hugs,
ME

I think it's pretty fantastic. It really doesn't matter what your style is, Christmas trees are just so happy. (But I gotta tell you...pink decorations make my heart swell....lol)

I totally forgot to post yesterday. It was one of those full days full of lots and lots of work. I will post on Ms. Rhoda.....I promise it will be a huge treat!!!!

Now here, I leave you with some FABULOUS CHRISTMAS TREES!!!!!!!!!!!


Simply classic. Gotta love this. Very opulent.



Gotta tell you that this is one of my favorites. It is totally whimsical, fun, and just absolutely DELISH!!! I can just see myself letting the kids have a go at this tree. They would absolutely love it. It just makes me HAPPY. Who doesn't love candy? I tell you girls, if it wasn't because my house could not hold another tree...I would set this one up too....hhmmmm...maybe I will make a stage covering the tub in the kids bathroom and set this in there....hey, the kids can always bathe outside....we do live in sunny Florida...HE, HEE, HHEEEE, HA. (I'm only kidding...really...lol)!

Catch you all tomorrow.

Lots of decorating....ok more like cleaning & remodeling here...

I am almost done with the living room and dinning room. My scrap room is now becoming my husbands office, my pink room is now becoming my Scrap room and I am getting rid of all the goodies in the pink room....that means.........HUGE SALE COMING YOUR WAY GIRLS!!!!


Found this in my bloggie travels.........have no idea where I got it from...forgive me, but I save so much eye candy, I forget sometimes where I get it from.
Look at that great idea. Simple cut out letter (for those of you who have your cricuts....even easier) some pretty fall colored card stock and look how beautiful those candles turned out.

Now, I have got to tell you about my friend Marlene. She just started a blog recently and let me tell you....although she keeps telling me she has to make it better and needs to make it prettier, she has a great blog full of eye candy. Just look at her table for Thanksgiving last year!!!!

Pretty fantastic if you ask me. Go visit her here.
Of course I can't leave you without some Christmas pics.........Tomorrow I will introduce you to one of my favorite blogs. Ms. Rhoda is truly a lovely lady and has some mean talents. She is amazing. Here is a peek at what I will be showing you. She decorated this amazing house in Alabama with some pretty talented women. This is only one side of the room, that Rhoda did.
Have not been able to get my battery running...but soon, I will post some of the goodies I have been working on.
Have a happy day.

Wow....CHRISTMAS IS WHAT????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can not believe that Christmas is ALMOST HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Due to LIFE...I can not believe this has crept up on me.
Am I ready? NO WAY!!!
But if you know me...I LOVE CHRISTMAS.
I kinda skip Thanksgiving every year (the decorating part) because my lovely aunt Celina (Who I will so be posting about next week) traditionally host this grand event on a grand scale and we just show up and eat, laugh, eat, laugh really hard, eat, talk, cry because we laugh so hard, eat....OK you get the picture.
I would have loved to post a pic of my turkey album from last year, but my camera battery has died and my charger has been misplaced....I keep saying that hoping that it is not lost....sigh...life is good girls....life is good. I made a new THANGSGIVINIE mini this year and I created 10 THANKSGIVINIE pages....Got say..I am pretty happy with the end results. I will be more than happy to share...once I get my battery up an running.


Any how, I wanted to show some delish pics from one heck of a divine store...that I absolutely LOVE!!!! This is Vintage Vogue that is located in California. To my disappointment and I am sure yours too, they do not have a website where we can shop...YET. In the mean time, enjoy their eye candy.



I have it on good authority that the in color for Christmas 2009 is Copper and gold.
I personally think whatever you decorate with and makes you happy is what is in. That is just my two cents.
On a grateful note...just want to tell you that my dad is doing so much better. He will be getting his second operation on December 1st. This is fantastic news as we know as soon as this operation takes place, the recovery time will be a good six months. (He shattered his fibula and the femur bones....gotta tell you...when my daddy does something he does it to the extreme...that old coot!!!!) Thank you all for your emails, calls and kind words. I am truly blessed. The show of support and love that has been extended to me and my family at this time has truly been amazing, and I am truly grateful for all of you. I have each and everyone of you in my heart.
With that being said, I also want to let you know...if I owe you something....I am hoping to get it done by Thanksgiving weekend. I am making sure that all pending transactions are being finished, delivered and/or mailed by next week. (Thank you so much for your patience)
HUGS,
ME

Thankful..........Grateful........

I am so thankful and GRATEFUL for so many things in my life that I simply had to document them as they came to mind. I have been praying and meditating a great deal lately and I feel different and have changed my way of thinking on a great deal of things. For the last several months actually I have been taking stock of many things in my life and the truth is that I have an amazing life. I have been working on some projects for some very special people in my life. It is a lot of work, but so worth it when you see the appreciation in their eyes. (I will share pictures in December) I have been journaling A LOT...like I have two notebooks full of notes and thoughts on people and my sentiments on certain life changes.

I just read my buddy Laverne's Blog....and it really hit home. She has this fantastic challenge that you have got to check out. It is truly perfect timing for me, as I have been reflecting an awful lot these past few weeks especially, on my life and how grateful I am. This challenge is truly coming at a PERFECT TIME..I am going to create some cards and simply add the thoughts that I have been journaling these past few months...how cool is that?

I wanted to share some of the goodies some of the girls are making for this challenge.....

This is one of Laverne's creations....check out her blog...she has all the details for this challenge.

This one belongs to my buddy Ady......

This is the back of the card...how great is that? I LOVE IT!!!

Give it a try, it is an awesome way to document your LIFE.....hey, and you might even with a fantastic gift...how cool is that?

Have a great day,
Damaris
