i shovel the yard so mom doesn't do it in her flip-flops.

i may have saved ten toes from frostbite. gosh mom.

wish i had a photo of this women in her flipflops out in this kind of weather..

instead she thought i looked funny and took photos of me

(while wearing her flip flops of course).

MY SHOP IS FINALLY UPDATED!!!

i've been working really hard to get my new shop up and running on the web!!!
 to see my NEWEST creations click HERE.

i'll miss..

the beautiful red wreath hanging on our front door.

this little man all over the place..

the shelves looking quite cozy and content with the extra decor around..

the beautiful spirit and little things that remind us of why

were here on this earth.

the masterpiece my mom creates each year on this same shelf.

beautiful.

knowing that i can see my reflection in lots of shiny stuff {and not in a conceded way..}

seeing stars hanging on mirrors, windows, and shelves

sitting on this couch, and my grandparents, watching everyone open gifts..

witnessing expressions like this one!

seeing twinkling lights through out my house.

it's a comfort to know that there will be another christmas next year. fewf. ill miss you christmas 2009. what a great day it was.

my favorite time of year is here!!

summer has ended but don't be sad...
