Productive Sunday

It was great to have a weekend at home to check off some to-do's and honey-do's off the list. Dustin and I ran errands all afternoon Saturday, slept in this morning, and got a lot of things done today.

I got the Christmas itch early (as usual) and decorated the tree and some things inside 2 weekends ago. I like to decorate early for 2 reasons: (1) I like to enjoy it for awhile and (2) it gives me time to arrange and rearrange.

Here is our beautiful tree!

This WAS on the entryway...I've since taken it down to use outside. I don't want to spend money on garland for our outside door, so I'm going to use what was on the entryway table.

Dustin hung up our new curtains today! Don't they look great? I absolutely love them! They had some elegance to our living room, which needed more of a feminine touch to it.

Dustin also started hanging up the Christmas lights today and almost finished before running out of lights and daylight. I made a wreath for our front door with ornaments and ribbon I already had. I'll post pictures of outside decorations when it's all complete. What about y'all? Have you gotten the decorating itch yet? I love looking at other people's houses and Christmas decorations. It is definitely where I get my inspiration and ideas. I'm so not original!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving this week! I'm excited about a two day work week and dinner tomorrow night with Christin and Sarah, two girls I interned with at the U of A.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND HAPPY SHOPPING!!!

Winter Weekend at Tenkiller

It had been awhile since I had seen my mama, so Dustin and I went to Tenkiller last weekend to visit. It was a great, relaxing weekend of catching up, feeding the deer, and riding on the mule. Mom and I put up her Christmas stuff and I took pictures of a few things we decorated...

Here is the "woodsy" tree that is on the stairs

And I'll leave you with this...the morning fog over the lake...beautiful!

Too Cute Not to Share

Bummer...

Well Corky and Debbie didn't come in as planned. Instead, they took a trip to the ER Friday night! Debbie is no stranger to the ER with her gallbladder/pancreas/diverticulitis issues. Poor thing. She was in a lot of pain and obviously not feeling up to shopping! It was a bummer for sure, but we'll see them soon and she is feeling better!

I won't leave this post picture-less though...instead of pictures from our fun planned weekend...here are some pics from Amber of us finally about to get into the car after we got drenched at the Arkansas/Ole Miss game as promised....and couple of us when we were dry!

Holiday House Brings in the Friends and Fam!

It's only Friday and I'm already having a great weekend! Bryant schools were out today for AEA day and it just so happened to be the Little Rock Junior League's Holiday House (I'm betting a woman was in charge of scheduling AEA day...just sayin')!

My buddy, Hayley, and her mom, Robin, took off work and drove down from Fayetteville to come spend the day shopping with me (well....they had other people to see, too). This is the only picture we got, but its been awhile since Hayley and I had a picture together, so I'll take it!

Dustin parents, Corky and Debbie, are coming in tomorrow morning. Dustin and Corky built some shutters for our front window and they are going to stain them and hang them tomorrow while I take Debbie to Holiday House. Lucky me! Friends, family, and new shutters on my house! I'm feeling very blessed this weekend!
