And what a sweet story nan shared! Did you read all the incredible Christmas memory comments in that post? Oh my gosh. Spend some time HERE when you can. You'll love it.
~ Upcoming Themes ~
I have a funny feeling we're all about to start on a big cleaning frenzy. So why not share some of the creative and pretty storage solutions you come up with?
~ SNS blah blah linkup rules ~
1. Please link up your intended post, NOT your blog homepage url. (post, then click the title of your post, then cut and paste that url) If your post has been deleted, please try again.
2. Please put a link in your post (button or text) that leads back to the party so others can see what's up! (see BUTTONS label under main blog header)
3. This party is geared for DIY type projects we can all attempt to make ourselves. Items for sale may be linked up IF your entry is posted on your blog and in tutorial style.
4. For Home Decor and Crafts, Sewing, Cooking, please link projects up that are new to SNS and/or within 1 month old. This helps keep content fresh!
The 3rd weekly themed link may have older posts and not brand new to SNS and will remain open for your new additions at any time. Click HERE for the main list.

To have two dead trees in one season is criminal! I mean...you have to de-decorate immediately then. So sad!! I keep my decor for the Christmas season up until beginning of Feb. Then it is all about pink and red and white...Valentine's Day! Woot!!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you and your son!
Hugs

Living our first year in Arizona we discovered that a live tree only lasts for oh...about....4 days!!!! This year we got a fakey fake tree. BUT Alie didn't get stabbed with a gazillion pine needles while she opened her presents this year. Score one for Mom and Dad! Is a story about our first artificial tree and Christmas story? I also posted my top 10 (I have a top 10...that still makes me giggle) in the crafts and stuff party. I hope that was OK as it's a ALL OF THE ABOVE kinda post!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you and your family have an awesome News Years Day!!! :)

Hi Donna,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your nice comment on my memo board and for the sidebar feature! I really enjoy participating in your weekly party....I always walk away inspired by what you create and by what all those linking up create. All the great projects really keep me motivated to look at and use old objects in a new way.
