A Few New Things

Not much exciting this weekend. Went to hobby lobby to get some scrap book stuff, and some orange ribbon, to make sid some bows. They already have their x-mas stuff out!!! There were a few ornaments that I wanted to buy......but I could tell my husband was already getting a little annoyed...because no matter what I'm there for I will go down every aisle!! Well maybe I'll wait a week or two and go back and get those ornaments...that way I can justify in my head that x-mas is a little closer. I love to buy xmas stuff....just cant help it? I think it goes back to when I was a kid...my grandparents were the kind of people that just went over board with it!! I would just love to walk thru her house and look at all the pretty decorations!! You just couldn't help but feel warm, and happy!(even though she was the type that didn't want you to wander or touch!!) I have a lot of stuff for my house, but nobody ever sees it...were always going to someone elses house!
Sunday Sid and I headed out to bff's house to help her hang some pictures, and put out decorations...she has been in this new house for at least two yrs?? with nothing on the walls....her last house for over twelve years with NOTHING!! Can you imagine? That's the first thing I'm doing when I move in a new place...forget unpacking the toilet paper and clothes...it's lets hang the pictures and curtains! We still have a ways to go......so you know what that means shopping!! We went to their little town mall in cleburne and I picked up these two cute pictures....I know I have said before that I'm trying to wean myself off the country style....but I just have a LOVE for country quilts, rosters.......NOT sure where that comes from...you know me and I'm far from country! bff got me the little chicken below....just love her......bff and the chicken!
It never occurred to me to take my camera, to post the cute things she got...and the awesome stores we went in....will plan better next time!

  1. I love the "Be kinder than necessary " sign. That should be my motto because I can be not so nice sometimes for sure!

    I have some ribbon left from when I attempted and failed with flying colors to make bows for Sofia. I SO don't get it! I will bring it when I bring the tutus.

    I went to Hob Lob today and wanted to spend a small fortune. I always liked to decorate for the holidays but now with the girls, I want to go overboard. I totally get what you mean about wanting to keep adding to the decorations every year.
