Stampcarving LoVe....
|
I've never been a resolutionist...Hahaaa! I think we're too hard on ourselves this time of year. Often times, I think it just sets us up for failure, and then we kick ourselves when were down! A whole new inner dialog (indigo) starts within about how lame we are for not following through...
I prefer to try and "work" on my self-betterment all year through. Wow! I can't quit making up words today.... I'm on fire!
I always feel more invigorated and optimistic about my life in the spring time, not dreary-*ss January. Even so...I give myself permission to not be so hard on myself. (till it's time to put on the bikini anyway, now that's a scary thought.)
So anyway, enough about crappy new year traditions. It's a little late... but here's a little peek in to my Christmas Cheer : )
 |
| Always, always a real tree....I love it with just the lights on it... I usually leave it like this for a few days. I love the simplicity of just a glorious glowing tree. |
 |
| After some friendly advice ( thanks Kelly) I decided to string fresh cranberries this year for the first time ever! It was so fun and I loved it! |
 |
| Same shot as above, just playing with my hipstamatic... I'm sooo hooked on it : ) |
 |
| It doesn't take long to notice, my house is filled with what I love.... nature and animals. |
 |
| My tree also is very nature inspired... I use grapevine,curly raffia, feathers, fresh sunflowers, babies breath and english ivy. The fresh cranberries were the perfect new addition. |
 |
| My friend Goog taught me how to make cakeball yummies♥ |
 |
| My Rudolph collection... I love them all but am especially fond of the vintage cut out (on top of that red tree) I have no idea how old it is, but found it at an estate sale. It was in their trash pile!!!! |
 |
| Got Jack? |
 |
| Vintage ornies..... |
 |
| A Christmas Mermmmie : ) |
 |
| Some outdoor garland...complete with redneck miller light lights! |
 |
| Devil dog... my very own Christmas grinch♥ |

OMG, you have GOT to email me the cake ball picture!! I'll scrapbook you. I love it, for reals!
ReplyDeleteDid you carve the stamp? I think the tree with just the lights is beautiful. I had not heard about stringing cranberries to put on a tree - do you eat them afterwards? We can't really do anything foody - like oranges with cloves, because of the heat and high humidity. Happy NY and all the best in 11 :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Ajae!!!! Your house looks fab!!! Love all the decorations!!! And I am with Good can you tell us the cake ball recipe!!! It looks yummy!
