1. I woke up at 4:30, ate breakfast and browsed design blogs until 7:00, went back to sleep until 10:30, and then ate breakfast again. Weekends are strange (or maybe it’s just me…), and, more importantly, what time should I eat lunch?!?

If you like it then you should have put a frame on it. Oh oh oh, oh oh oh.
Well, loves, it’s almost noon and I’m just getting around to deciding what to do with my day. What I NEED to do is something about my front door. It is currently bare. Yes, BARE, for the [...]

I tell you what, lovelies, December is taking it out of me. Parties, Christmas programs, shopping, wrapping, plans changing with weather – UGH! Therefore, this post is going to be short on words. Ironically, it’s inspired by using words in decor. Observe:

I’m back from a day filled with Christmas cheer. First, I decided to finish my Christmas shopping. It is now done, but I may have lost my will to live. Oh, the crowds. The line in Target was so long I needed a large fountain Diet Coke (with a shot of Cherry Coke, naturally) AND [...]

…decorate!
We are wrapped up in the giant snow storm that is lovingly embracing the Midwest. I got off work early yesterday and surely won’t have to drive in today, so I finally have time to play with some new Christmas decorations!
Last week, K spotted some pretty silver ball garland from Target (like this). [...]
