SSS

This year I participated in the SSS at Decisionally Challenged

I want to thank Georgie and Amy for being such wonderful hostesses! I had so much fun picking out goodies for Unknown Mami , my partner that I sent goodies too... and I had an even better time opening all the thoughtful goodies that my SS sent me!!!
EDIT: THANK YOU to ANNIKKE for the wonderful gifts!!! {{{HUGGGGGG}}}

I have no idea who had me in this swap BUT whoever it was they went above and beyond to spoil me!

Right before Christmas my hubby delivered a fed ex box to me at work

I ripped open the box only to find JOY!

I loved each item so much

A beautiful crystal Angel ornament sits high on my tree and reflects the twinkle lights beautifully

I got three awesome reads

A beautiful hard cover craft book ~ Rachael Ray Magazine ~ Taste of home Christmas recipe book

 the recipe book is already on my shelf and the craft book is already in my craft room

 

Plus two super cute Holiday note pads ad three journals as I love to journal so much and will certainly fill them

Oh and a candle that smells so wonderfully yummy (even the hubby said so)  and a picture frame too

 

new camera and I cant get the pic to move sorry!!

~~~~THANK YOU SO MUCH ~~~~~

I can't wait to find out who you are so I can give you a BIG cyber HUGGGG!

OH WOW!

I am so excited

I came home and had a package waiting for me from Kim ~ my swap partner

Stay tuned because I cannot wait to show you all the beautiful goodies I received from her

Kim has such a generous heart!

In the meantime you can enter my Surprise Christmas Giveaway

I so LOVE this time of year

Beadboard Wallpaper...

Well Yard Sale is over... I so wish my bloggy friends lived close by because you all would have LOVED this sale!
Let's just say I made enough for the bead board wallpaper... so I am thrilled!

I did not do as well as I had wanted to BUT... it did not cost me a dime, only a Saturday AM that I would have spent doing NOTHING anyway!
I did end up having quite a bit leftover so I am free cycling it as I type this I am putting this here for the world (or my small part of blog world)
I WILL NEVER HAVE A YARD SALE AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE!!!!

  I mean it! I will have a SWAP like Nester recommends (and I would have done that had I not wanted to move all of this stuff)
So now here I am with a house that I feel I could move... reasonable amount of stuff to move into the new house
And since the new house is so cozy I really do not need a lot

I keep a majority of my Christmas stuff though ~ I plan to use up bags and tags and cards and gifts and ornaments and package ties THIS YEAR I tried so hard to keep only what I love... trouble is I love it all!

Oh well, off for a quick nap before I meet with my friends from GRADE school 27 year+ friendships! AWESOME!

I am so excited because I am participating in my first ever swap Fall is my absolute favorite time of year was thrilled to find out about the harvest swap at this awesome blog that I have been following for a while now HARVEST SWAP If you have chance be sure to check out Chars blog!
