Blue Monday

http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/
It's been awhile since I posted Blue Monday--getting back in the swing of things after the holidays.  We had such a wonderful Christmas.  Such great family memories.

Here's a picture of one of my recent 90% off Christmas ornaments savings at the thrift store.

.  These are vintage and made of glass--flocked .  I will hang these on my aluminum tree.

Since we live in Kansas we are hugh JAWHAWK fans.  l found this little metal bucket with the jayhawk on front.  Haven't figured out how to use it yet though.

Hope your New Years has started out great.

Vintage Thingie Thursday - Hand painted polish ornaments

http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/

Suzanne is our hostess for this fun party---just getting around to posting after Christmas.

I visited my favorite vintage store and all of the Christmas was 90% off!!!!! I purchased these hand painted vintage ornaments from Poland.  They have the oringinal hangers too.  They are so beautiful.

They have the most beautiful flocking and gorgeous brush stokes of paint.

The tops of the metal hanger say "made in Poland". I'd really like to find out more about them--there is no maker of any kind.

Thinking of taking down the Christmas on the 1st---I really don't want to see all the glitter be packed away.

Hope everyone enjoys their New Years Eve celebrations.

Take Care

Family fun

Watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas  starring Jim Carey on Wednesday.  Thought we need to keep it going so Debbie bought us all shirts---Debs grandaughter, Deb and me.

Thursday night we made a gingerbread house with the great nieces and nephews and grandchildren. So much fun!!

The great nephews LOVED their Toy Story 3 Sheets.

A little blurry but SO cute.

I think we're ready for tomorrow!!!!!

Have a wonderful Christmas Eve.

Pink Saturday - Christmas Houses

http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog

It's pink sparklie day----go visit Beverly for the dreamiest posts.


I love cardboard houses all decorated for Christmas.  I purchased a few and made a few in the last year.

My pink house I made this year. Notice the pink wallpaper in the living room. Setting near is one of my small trees decked in hot pink garland.

This house I purchased at 80% off last year after Christmas..My pink vintage tree sets nearby.

Hope you have a safe-fun-shopping weekend if your not done shopping.



Happy Pink Saturday.

Quick Stocking Stuffer - Cute Headbands

I whipped up a few these the other day for my granddaughters to wear to school, parties, church this season.
I used red and white felt I had on hand and buttons from my button collection.
I bought these little red headhands at the Dollar Store.  Olivia wore hers to school today.

Cut out 4 petal flowers from felt--either straight scissors or pinking sheers.  Stagger the layers and sew a button in the center.  Crimp the top one to make it look for layered.  I hot glued the flower to the headband.

A quick stuffer for about $1.00.

I've had so much fun decorating my sunroom this Christmas, last year it wasn't complete. 

First of all I collect vintage bird cages, my standing one is white so I decorated with with a wintery white sceen.  Little lambs standing in snow with white trees and silver stars above their little heads.

My fiber optic Santa sitting among red sparked cones and white lights.

This green and white picture made by my sis Lori years ago.

One of my favorite ceramic snowmen hearlding in the season.

 Hope you have a wonder Wednesday----decorating those beautiful Christmas rooms!!!
