CHRISTMAS TABLE
Hi guys! Today I wanted to drop in and show you my table decorated for Christmas. I couldn’t get a really good picture ( I never can), so you are really going to have to trust me when I say it looks pretty good!
Remember when I told you I had a chandelier to hang that I found at Goodwill? There it is (more on that later!)
My most favorite thing on this table has to be my bread board! I ordered it from Diana over at Our Vintage Home Love. I can’t wait to place my muffins on top of it for Christmas breakfast.
Well, that’s about it for now. I need to finish doing some cleaning around the house and start on my powder room “secret” project.
I hope you like the table. If you think its not all that, I would love to have you over for dinner to change your mind. We’re having pot roast tonight
Catch you later!

I CHEATED AND I WON!
Well hello out there! How’s Tuesday morning treating you? I hope its better than Monday morning because we all know that Monday morning is the worse with it being the start of the week and all
Last night, I wrangled in the big Christmas tree from the garage. Well lets back up, I guess if my husband brought it in and I stood there and watched with a I DON’T WANT THIS TREE IN MY HOUSE look on my face, I really didn’t do much huh? Anyway that’s not the point. The point is I didn’t want the tree in because:
a) it’s too big for my living room.
b) I have to rearrange the entire space to make it fit.
c) it’s too big for my living room.
After he brought it in, I stood there and looked at the box for a while (wishing and hoping it would suddenly decrease in size) and then began to just go with it and put it together.
With artificial trees, there are like 3 or 4 parts that you must put together to build the tree. Well…… Here is where I cheated. Instead of using all of the pieces that came with the tree, I left out a section. Cheating? Yes. Winning? ABSOFREAKINLUTELY!
My living room still had to be rearranged to accommodate the tree, but at least I don’t have to use a step ladder to decorate the tree. Oh and use all of those ornaments…
(the tree is kinda fat at the bottom, but whatever!)
I thought it was so cool to have a huge tree, but this year I would have preferred this
No worries. I have a mini tree (2 to be exact!)
So there you have it, I cheated and won! Now I just have to finish decorating the tree and put the room back together!
