Weekend Snapshot

*Finally put finishing touches on Gemma's room

(see tomorrow's post for more where that came from)

*Did massive amounts of laundry

(seriously, I only have one child- how do you keep up with more?)

*Watched the Ducks lose to Stanford

(What the?)

*Ate way too many vanilla tootsie rolls

(I love/hate Dollar Tree for bringing the king sized version into my life. Midgies just don't cut it anymore)

*Took a nap with The Mr. after church

(Bless our child for being a sleepyhead)

Surprising combinations and unexpected layers make for great looks that aren't trying too hard. 

I'll take one of each please.  

Today's post

I have a migraine.

Also, a 7 week old baby asleep on my chest.

The latter makes the former much more bearable.

So Excited...

...for Christmas! 

The past 2 Christmases we were all packed to move. (Yes we have moved a ridiculous number of times) No decorating, no tree. 

This year we've not a move in sight and it's Gemma's first Christmas. I'm going all out. Here are a few of the crafts I'm itching to begin...

Felt Circle Garland

Cute Stockings and Garland

Stuffie Ornaments

Pom Pom Wreath and Garland

Quilled Snowflake

NaBloPoMo Cheater

So, day 3 and I already slacked. Does 2 posts in one day make up for missing yesterday? Here goes-
