♥ Feeling Some What Better ♥


I think...I still have a stuffed head but not as bad as it was, just seems like everything is in a fog plus I've been working everyday. Yesterday I thought I was off but then my manager called and asked if I could come out from 1 to 6 so I went, then got up at 5:30 AM to be at Michele's to put Sydney on the bus and get Samantha to preschool at 9:30 then back home to get ready for work... pick up Sam at 11:30 ...go thur McDonalds drive thur to get Happy Meal for her, take her home... then off to work for 1 to 6 it is now 9:00PM.lol

Here are some pictures of a little of what I've got done as far as Christmas decorating goes...My desk in the livingroom, my little tree on the small chair with the prim rag stuffed pillows, you can't see it in the pics but there is a rusty jingle bell garland on it.



My poinsettas in a big crock!
Left side of the fireplace, as you can see it's all cleaned out...DH is putting a fireplace insert in which in fact it is already in, I'm not to thrilled with the idea only because I've never had one. I always told him "no" when he would suggest it but our heat is electric and last months bill was 189.00 not even below 20* weather sooooo I finally relented I guess it will be nice to have a fire all the time. Does anyone else have a fireplace insert? If you do please leave a comment and tell me the pros and cons I'd so appreciate it:)


The mantel, I have prim lights in the greenery but haven't had the energy to get an extension cord and plug them in. The stocking on the right I made.

Here is a picture of the card Linda made and was sent with my stocking swap also the cinnamon pineapple ornaments that she made also, I have them on my little feather tree...it's made of real feathers and is oh so soft:)




A larger picture of my dry sink!




This is to the left of the dry sink...the snowman stocking I got this past summer at our yard sale for 3.00, made from an old quilt and hung on my shutter.







My snowman bucket filled with greenery and berry sprigs!



Thank you to all who left a comment in my last post...wishing me to feel better believe me it did make me feel better and it did warm my heart♥

  6. You sound like one busy lady!!!
    Glad to hear that you are feeling better. My husband came home tonight complaining that he is not feeling so hot. Started out with the youngest to my other daughter now to hubby. Does that mean I will have by next week. I so do not want to catch it! I can not afford to be sick with the meds I take I no longer have a immune system to fight things off. So I am praying!

    Oh boy...oh boy...I love your decorations so far. Everything looks so great and prim. I must get my pictures downloaded in the computer and get my pics posted. I have been all decorated for some time now and completed my Christmas Shopping. Now I await for the day...well actually I have a couple of projects to do and baking for a swap that I and four other ladies are doing together.

    Take care of yourself and don't work to hard ;)

  7. Rondell, We had a fireplace insert in the house we lived in before we moved. It was wonderful as far as the heat goes...and it didn't look bad either. I like being able to "see" the fire and you could only see it through the small glass doors but I think the positives really outweighed the negatives. You should see a different in bills for sure.

  10. Hey Rondell.. a woodstove insert would be your best bet..if it is only a fireplace insert..you are warm in that one room..they are more for ambience..unless times have changed and you have a blower or something..but you are talking to a "girl" what do I know...they may have gotten better...love your holidays photos..drink lots of cranberry juice and take vitamin C it will help..I will send you my bill..lol...I do hope you get to feeling better...take care..:)

  11. Hi Rondell,
    So glad that you are feeling a little better.
    My SIL has a fireplace insert and they really like it. The only thing that I've her fuss about is that it can dry the house out. They always have a kettle of water sitting in room wear the insert is as that room seems to be the driest.
    Take care,
    Cindy

  34. I just love the way everything looks. I especialy LOVE your desk with the tiny samplers and the little tree on a child's chair. There's just something really special about that.

    So glad that you're feeling better. I still have a horrid cough after 4 weeks. Nasty viruses floating around out there.

    I just seem be getting behinder and behinder in my holiday plans ... so if I don't get back before December 25th, I want to wish you a very Merry Christmas!
