A Ladder Makeover and Such!

 This ladder Penny found at Goodwill for $5.99! She had a neat shabby one along with Brittany so she thought I could make this one over! I don't know if when Brittany met us she would know that when one has something the other has to have it. I get great ideas from this gal! Right now she is in the process of preparing all the flowers for a formal wedding tomorrow night. Is there anything this girl cant do? And now for the makeover:

 Doug said your kidding right? You are not going to hang it on the wall are you? And I said of course I am!

 Sorry to ruin the surprise Pen but these cute little stockings( I have yet to give you yours) is a Christmas gift from Brittany! I love mine! I wonder if I could hang something cute in it and keep up all year long in my room?

 I am having a hard time putting my music wreath away after Christmas. So I took out the middle decoration and added a flower with a silver crown broach.. Hoping to leave it out a little longer.

All the chocolate that is left after the holidays. Boy I am happy about this.. I am so over it!!!!
I got my shift covered today and spent the day with Londyn in my pajama's all day! I soooo
needed it! I have worked alot the last several months and feel like I am on a burn out.. This was just what I needed. We cleaned (she loves to use the toilet brush)go figure! We did alot of cleaning, sorting, we had lots of picnics and snacks, a little crafting, we took a chill pill we call it, which is a quiet time on the bed. We don't have to sleep but we have to rest and be quiet.
                                                               I have decided not to make a New Years Resolution because most of the time I forget what is was three weeks into the new year.. I do want to recognize my blessings each day but I do that anyways. I hope you all have a safe and happy New Year! Blessings Pam

Second Son Performs

Mid December we were able to go to Portland and watch our niece perform. She has her own band at 17 actually has been in a band for several years.. She is truly amazing. She has so much beauty and talent.. She is a beautiful artist(draws)as well. Can you tell I am so proud? I also get the honor of working with her too. She shines at work as well! So enjoy these pictures!

                                                                                  

I think about myself and how I would of never had the courage to get up and sing in front of people.
Not that I can sing mind you! Or even just talk or share anything on stage.. That takes an amazing talent as well.. She goes all over the valley right now and performs.. Someday when you are famous and traveling I hope you will remember your Aunt Pam! Blessings Pam

Reflecting on my Christmas!

 It all started at the very end of November when I started entering the giveaways like a mad woman.
It was so nice to get packages through the month of December. I was truly blessed by all of them.
The cloche above was valued at $95.00

 Then I won a $40.00 gift card to Target through Gigi Petals.. and I bought the shabby sheet set below with the card.. I have wanted these sheets for awhile..

 Love this color and added it to my bathroom off my bedroom..

 I picked out two amazing charms with a silver chain as well with my winnings from Pick up sticks!
I plan on ordering from them soon. I love their stuff. Made very well.

Just couldn't believe it! It was sure a fun month for me!

 This book above was one I have wanted for awhile now and to my surprise my Secret Santa(David) sent it to me! Of course he had some help from my niece Joy.. Thanks so very much. Cant wait to sit and read it..

And Beth at http://patinawhite.typepad.com/patina_white/ contacted me after I had emailed her about some flash cards  she sent them to me right away and of course I dont have a picture of them but like them. I felt honored to have sent several emails back and forth and to have her on my blog favorites. She is quite talented..
                  My Christmas was really calm this year... Christmas Eve we had both kids and Londyn(granddaughter) spend the night.. So fun. I was able to tuck my girls into the spare bed. And awake to Londyn running into wake us up to hurry down and open presents. Reminded me of when my kids were younger. She really made out this year.. New traditions are starting as our kids are grown up and spending time with their girlfriend/ boyfriends this year.. Christmas Day was spent with my parents.. It was really nice not having to rush somewhere else. My brother and twin sister(Penny) fixed the dinner for our parents, did all the clean up. Came home to a hot bath and a nap and then a good movie. I was blessed..
The only bummer was my camera batteries died after just a couple of pictures.. So my picture taken did not happen this year. Here is a couple I took from Jordan's facebook..

I love this little girl so very much.. Off to bed now.. Blessings this evening.. Pam
P.S. I am so excited for my friend Trish who became a grandma Christmas Eve Day..
