Brandy I've always wanted a full size white tree but my family doesn't like the idea.  So to fulfill my white tree need I bought a 4 foot white tree and turned it into an angel tree that I use a LOT of pink on.  I did see a tree decorated in the colors your daughter wants to use and it was beautiful.  Also saw some of those ...

Well, finally a semi stretchy day here for me. I haven't left the house except to take DS#2 to school this morning.  I have been busy all morning with laundry, had to use the dryer because it has been raining here again.  Scrubbed my bathroom and washed the shower curtains.  Cleaned up my wreck of a craft room and ...

I am also a Christmas junkie in need of an intervention for my "habit".  LOL!  I have a LOT of decorations.  I have enough ornaments to decorate several full size trees.  This year I am doing a new color theme, black, gold and some bronze.  I bought some new black ornaments LAST year. And I bought ...

Hey Everyone It is looking like a really stretchy day here for me (for a change).  I just put my third load of laundry in the washer, I have one more load to do.  All will have to go in the dryer as it's STILL raining here.  It started raining on Tuesday morning  (what was left of Tropical Storm Ida) and now there is a ...

Another member of the "not in this lifetime" club here.  I've never shopped on black Friday and I won't be breaking my tradition this year.  DH & I will be doing about 1/2 of our shopping this weekend and I'll finish up the stocking items by the first week in December.  Shellia

Most of what I will fix will be eaten over several days except for the turkey.  I usually buy one bigger than we need so that I'll have leftover turkey to freeze.  I use it the same way I would chicken.  I make turkey pie, turkey & gravy served over noodles or biscuits, turkey soup.  I never tried it as turkey ...

OH Dixie that is so wonderful.  Shellia

Well Wednesday was a no spend day for me but not for DH.  DS#2 was off school for the day but DH had classes.  He came home at lunch time and treated us to lunch out, used his "pocket money" so not out of the budget.   Today will be no spend for me.  I am going to finish making my Thanksgiving cards and stay home ...

I am sorry it turned out this way. Shellia

My parents won't be coming this year and DH's family doesn't get together for Thanksgiving.  So it will just be me, DH, DS#2, DS#1 and his new girlfriend this year. We will be having lunch on Wednesday since DS#1 & his girlfriend are going to her house on Thursday. I will be making turkey, dressing, gravy, deviled ...
