here & there

i've watched 478 movies

well, almost

(wished i'd known the mom dies at the end of The Family Stone...sigh)

gained 38 pounds

mostly from eating cheese grits Pioneer Woman Style

because who knew

that the recipe makes enough to feed an entire ranch full of cowboys.

twice.

painted my nails opi's suzi skis in the pyrenees

debated whether to keep the second pair of cowboy boots santa brought.

santa rocked by the way

but brown or black?

conflicted.

packed up every single solitary Christmas ornament.

sent the tree to the recycle place

& caught up on laundry.

can you hear the hallelujah chorus?

so here's a few more

totally random

shots from here & there this week.

one more gift tag idea.

photocopied the girls silhouettes & resized into wallet size

perfect for gift tags

& glittered the edges.

the girls all waiting for the "ok" to come on down, Christmas morning.

little bit reading Luke 2 before opening gifts

the days of serving fudge pie for breakfast

must come to a screeching halt.

seriously.

received some of THE cutest cards

ever.

feel i sorta underachieved on this years card

the color & all

so i thought i'd share last years

much cuter card.

how weird am i?

meant to share a close up of one of my fave pictures.ever.

my mom in santa's lap, 1953.

i printed it out on canvas

sprayed with adhesive spray

& then very gingerly sprinkled crystal glitter on top.

sweetness.

madison is baker extraordinaire

& after running out to lunch with my sweetie

( which by the way, if you're a local, Farm Burger has THE best burgers in atlanta.promise)

returned home to find her whipping up

dozens of these cuties. from scratch.

she is such a good kid!!

 looking forward to digging into this book

a couple great library scores.

poor caroline has been a sicky for days.

this was taken pre-sickie status

but she's been a total trooper.

went to the doc, negative for strep

but she's had it all

cough, fever, congestion, pink eye, viral rash & never complains.

i would complain if i were her.

we had snow here in atlanta for the first time in over 100 years

on Christmas day.

it was absolutely magical.

ps...to answer a few of your questions.

the necklace from the previous post is from j. crew.

boots are lucchese

alrighty, off to watch another movie

& maybe heat up some cheese grits

:)
