Purple and Pink are the new
Red and Green this year at our house. I've done the Christmas tree in bright, pinks, purples, blues and greens. I was ready for a change.....Sweetiepie....not so much. He doesn't like it....at all....but I decorated him a little tree in the TV room and that makes him HAPPY!
I'll blog about that tree tomorrow.

#7~Funny

Let me tell you about the funniest thing that happened to me in a long time.
Last Saturday I was going shopping with my BFF, Marla.
Got all cleaned up, and took off to go get her for our girls day.
As I was backing out of her driveway, I looked in my rear view mirror, looked and myself......and GASPED....well, I think screamed was more like it. As I looked in the mirror I noticed I had forgotten to do one of my eyebrows......Marla cracked up....I was embarrassed and ran home to put my other eyebrow on. Ahhhh.....that's a lot better and Marla will never let me forget it!!

#6~BOOKS

#6~BOOKS

If I were to ever have a "favorite" book
this would be it!!
Love this book, it reminds me of my Mom and reading it to my kids and brings back such sweet memories. If you've never read it~I suggest you give it a try...but, I promise, you'll cry!

My next favorite thing to do with books is DECORATE with them......

then....I found this wonderful idea of recycling vintage books~
what a great idea!!

How to recycle Vintage books

I'm thankful for books and very thankful for eyes so that I can read them!
