It's probably due to the fact that ever since I was just a wee lass, I've daydreamed about how I would decorate my first home. You know, paint colors, accent pillow patterns, the nifty little brickabrack pieces that pull it all together. Or, those that just make it... weird.For example, The "Sleeping" Bird Lamp.http://american-wife.blogspot.com/2009/02/things-you-wont-see-on-hgtv.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Emily)0<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?a=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?a=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:F7zBnMyn0Lo"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?i=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:F7zBnMyn0Lo" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?a=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?i=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?a=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?i=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?a=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:dnMXMwOfBR0"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?d=dnMXMwOfBR0" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?a=VJ5ooBKMp4c:It9OGajuSaA:63t7Ie-LG7Y"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/AmericanWife?d=63t7Ie-LG7Y" border="0"></img></a> </div>http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.5/tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346852765237862172.post-8979991620735598783Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:36:00 +00002009-01-05T23:11:26.827-05:00PeytonAs much as I'd like to do things differently around here during the holidays, we still "believe" in Santa. Every Christmas eve, we leave cookies and apples or carrots out for Santa and the reindeer. How nice of us. Traditionally, we also have two trees to decorate. We have the "family" tree, and we have Peyton's pink tree. Yep, pink. Nothing says Christmas like a pink tree.
