9 weeks until...

Country Living

I was just realizing today that there are just 9 weeks until Christmas!  I can't believe it!  Not that I'm rushing things, but I just LOVE this season.  

Country Living

I look forward to sharing simple, and great ideas for this season with all of you!  I can't wait to see what all of you are thinking about creating and I, myself, have some tricks up my sleeve as well.

Which leads me to...Halloween!  Last night we had a Halloween Party for my 4 year old monster and his friends.  I will be sharing these photos this week.  Until then, have a wonderful day in decorating land! 

                                            

ribbon note project reveal

PRESENTS...

I fell into the sink taking this picture!  I had to post this one! :)

Want a good place to put those unforgettable recipes, love notes, etc.  Well, here is the next best thing since sliced bread!  It's the ribbon notekeeper!  It can be yours for a whopping $5.00!  That's what I spent on this project.  I currently have my Mom's classic recipes clipped on that she gave me 9 years ago when I got married.  I also have a fun "Superstitions of the Season" clipart cut-out by Susan Branch.  On the other cabinet, adjacent to this one, I framed my Nana's classic banana bread recipe as you can tell it is VERY old and falling apart, so I decided to buy a $3.00 frame and put a notecard in the back for the matte.

 I also have to blog about our new popcorn air popper.  We are bringing the good ol' days back with fresh, hot popcorn made by air rather than those microwave bags of butter stuff.  This is SO much fun for our family nights.  It's also super cheap.  Think about the trail mixes while out in the powdery snow, and cranberry popcorn strings for the seasons ahead. Yummm... Have I convinced you yet to grab one?
