sunday dinner

I think that Sunday dinners with the family are perfect way to start your week. (yes I think Sunday in the 1st day of the week, is that weird?). Spending the day with my family makes Monday seem less daunting. My sister was home from Arizona over the weekend and my mom made baked steak {and mashed potatoes, noodles, cole slaw, green beans} Then my dad, who loathes getting his picture taken, decided he wanted a family photo. Watch out, hell might freeze over later this week...

My brother looks pumped, huh? check out his chops. 

I got picked to be on Amy Jaz's creative team this weekend, (super excited about that!)
and I am loving her new kit Candycane Lane. That red and blue chevron print was an instant favorite.
You can see her store here at the-lilypad.
{check out here super easy and cute Christmas card templates!}

so that was my Sunday;  sitting around reading the Weird Ohio book with my Dad and Uncle Dave and admiring my Mom's tree I put up last weekend, snacking on Snickers pie my Aunt Crystal brought over, and watching my sister watch 3 football games at once (tv, laptop, kindle). 




the ice skating Claus's always get front and center branch reservations. 

how was your weekend?

pink trees and sugar.


finished putting up my pink tree last night.
the boyf doesn't love it.but I love it. so he pretends to love it.
every ornament on it is vintage.
most of them belonged to my franternal grandmother.
Every time I look at the tree, I think of her.
She would love it!


my tree topper broke.
I found some cute vintage ones on etsy.
Anyone have any good ideas?

I also inherited this set of handmade Three Kings.
they like to hang out & drink 7 up.
p.s those wee gifts are wrapped in real gift wrap


my aunt makes these stars.
they look adorable with our stockings.


on a side note.
I ate LIFE cereal for dinner last night.
I realize this is probably an unhealthy amount of sugar.

22 days till Christmas!!

The Letter P

Today's Post is sponsered by the letter P. Some things that are making me smile today.

P is for Posh Squash aka hand-dyed velvet pumpkins. Kits to make your own can be found at Olive Juice & Co. found via Danielle Thompson at her blog, Thompson Family Life.


And I love the names of the hues they come in. So happy & "fall-ish".



And ever since I made Christina's rehearsal bouquet with yarn pom poms, I am a bit pom-crazed. I saw this picture at Bluebird Vintage today & decided it's going to be a pompom Christmas!


Kraft paper, poms, & a white tree. Now all I need is a new Polaroid camera & some film in one of those boxes! (pompom pictures orginally from rachel denbow.)
