If you are looking for a last minute gift idea, boy do I have the project for you. What do you think about a $ 1.00 monogrammed jewelry box? Not bad huh? I recently entered contest offered by Debbiedoo’s and Fox Hollow Cottage. They were giving away a $ 50.00 gift card to […]
We have a thing for trees … Christmas Trees
In our house we have a thing for Christmas trees. We LOVE them. In fact we have 8 trees in our house and the number seems to be growing! Our main tree is in our family room and sits right next to our Pottery Barn Inspired Santa. This tree was my grandparents. It’s about 30 […]
