Yesterday, I got to see my new nephew, Mason. He's 6 weeks old, and getting so big! A few years ago, I made myself a winter hat that turned out very cute, and looks like a Santa hat. Since I had it . . .

Here are a few quick photos of my finished tree. I'm sure I'll take and post many more in the days to come- last year, it was an obsession! I love how festive and colorful it turned out this year. . . .

Back before Halloween, I found a cool strand of 10 lights at Goodwill, which are more likely than not vintage. I would guess they were from the mid to late 70's, but I could be wrong.

Earlier, I posted an article about giving the Gift of Time for Christmas this year. I'm curious as to what everyone else might be doing this year to cut back the cost of Christmas. Less gifts? Lower . . .

I took a long bath earlier, and watched most of "A Christmas Story" on the portable TV while I laid in there. I almost fell asleep, but didn't. I was more refreshed for the almost nap, . . .

Last week, I took the kids pictures in front of the tree for Christmas. I am not overly excited at how they turned out. There were a few cute ones, but none that I love enough to want to frame them like . . .

One year when I was maybe 7 or 8, I woke up on Easter morning to bunny prints all over the living room. They lead in all sorts of directions, and upon further inspection, were made from baby powder. That . . .
