Day 145: Wrappin, Wrappin, Wrappin!

This year I am trying to be a little more organized for Christmas stuff.  This year, I promised myself as I buy gifts I am going to wrap them.  And I have!!  Plus even made all the Christmas tags.

I am excited about this coming up Saturday...shopping with my sister!!  Finishing off the Christmas shopping.  Which will mean lots of wrapping after that!!!

Day 144: Old Hotel York!

While getting some drinks made at my man's house I seen this old Wine and Liquor menu from Hotel York.  Yes, Hotel York....a establishment that we never thought was much of anything these days.  A place we had talked about being a eye sore.  But back in the day it was anything but that.  I was the place to go!

On a side note, I thought the prices were crazy.  Shows you with the prices how old this could be.

Day 141: Handmade Christmas Tags

A few weeks ago I was able to find some time to make a few Christmas tags.  Which has been nice as I picked up gifts here and there I have been able to add homemade tags.  But noticed that I have to get busy making more.  Trying to prep as much as I can because we all know how crazy busy it starts to get at Christmas.

Day 140: Gingerbread House!

The other day I was out shopping and came across a pre-fab gingerbread house.  I bought it so me and my boyfriend can work on it.  I bought the pre-fab build as that is way easier then trying to get it to stand.  I had one last year and my friend Beth and I put it together.  But this one is like an upgraded version.  It has fondant and icing that has a easy pour spout!  Less mess!!!

So I eagerly await the decorating night.   And well, the candy eating after that!!

Day 139: Another Flower!

Early this summer I got a plant from my friends.  This plant keeps blooming.  Most of the time I don't always have a green thumb with these types of plants.  But the proof is right there in the picture...it is still blooming away.  We will see how well the plant holds up when I have to move it to put up my Christmas tree.

Day 138: Sunflowers!!

If you recall, a while back I wrote about my mom's sunflower.  And the fact there was only one flower on this whole group of them.  Well, the rest came!!  And there were many of them!!

I believe mom will try planting them again next year.  They did look something beautiful!!
