Rather than spending a lot of time on the computer today working on a post, I'm working hard to finish a project! Hopefully I'll be able to show you on Thursday. We have a birthday boy to celebrate tomorrow! ...

The One That Got Away
Over the weekend I was looking through some pictures stored on my desktop and came across this one: It's from a Craig's List posting last spring. I bookmarked the listing to "think about it", and of course forgot to come back to it. Several weeks later I saw my bookmark and decided to check into it. It was big...like 3x5 feet. Yes, it was still for sale, made out of wood, said it was from Italy, and he would take $75 rather than the $100 listed on the price. The man didn't live in our area but had advertised it here to get more exposure. His daughter did live here and he said he would bring it the next time he visited her. Weeks passed. I contacted him and nicely asked if he was still planning to bring it. He said yes, he just hadn't made it to town yet. Several more weeks passed, I attempted to contact him several more times, and I never heard from him again. I still wonder what happened. Did he ge......

Winter Entry and Dining Room Table Decor (& Blogger Question)
Happy Wednesday friends!! My kids go back to school today and if you were here you would see me doing a little happy dance! Honestly, I love them to pieces, but it's time! Can anyone relate? Today I wanted to show you my little spaces when you walk in the front door, all dressed up for winter. I re-purposed some things I had out for fall and Christmas, but was going for more of a winter-y/January theme. Aren't these guys the cutest? I found them at a little consignment store and almost left them there. I'm really glad I changed my mind. I also worked on a new arrangement for the dining room table. I'm trying to use real plants more instead of fake greenery, so when I saw these 2 ferns and and an ivy on clearance at Lowe's for $1.25 each, I snatched them up! I knew I wanted my clam shell to be a big statement piece on the table, so I loaded up the plants in some old containers and covered everything with moss. ......

Christmas Card Prayer Sticks
Last week while browsing through Pinterest, I noticed an idea that one of my friends had pinned. I didn't re-pin, but I just went back to find the original source and you can see that here (hers are much cuter...should have checked that out before we did ours, but our version was super quick and easy!) When the kids were smaller we would use the Chrismas card pictures from their friends and make place mats. They still enjoy pulling them out today and seeing how everyone has grown and changed. This year we used our pictures and spent a little time on New Year's eve making these prayer sticks. Each morning during breakfast we read a little devotional and pull a stick out of the group. Today we're praying for Jack and his family. Loving the "Jesus Calling" for kids devotional book. Do you do something special with all of the family pictures you receive at Christmas? Linking up with Savvy Souther Style and......
