Happy easter 2016

2016-03-25T10:18:00.001-05:00

Happy easter! I didnt really have much time this year. Easter feels really early . Ten days isnt a lot of time to put st patricks day decorations away and put up easter. I did it but really think I need to reorganize my holiday decorations. That would make the change so much easier. On sunday night I will have to remove all easter decorations and put up birthday decorations because Aubreys birthday is Wednesday. I got this, I think.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. This is pictures of every room in my house except the laundry room and Brians room. I dont have decorations in these rooms. Maybe that will be a plan for next year.
My husband may be right. I may have a problem. I decorated my empty spare bedroom with a tree and gifts. Couldn't help myself. It looked so plain in there.
What do you think of the pictures? I decided to try something different this year. I took all my pictures like a small child would see. Opinions would be greatly appreciated.
Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving 2015!

Happy Halloween! Here are the pictures of my house this year. I really haven't changed much. This year I used spiders in the bathroom, I cant believe I am saying this but I have grown bored with the bloody room. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe halloween.

Easter decorations 2015.
This easter I had a dilemma. My granddaughter s birthday is the same week as easter so I decided to decorate for both. In the livingroom , my room , and the bathroom are done in easter only. My kitchen and her room I tried to mix them both together. On my chalkboard wall in the kitchen I drew her a apple jack my Lil pony with bunny balloons. Of course I added stuffed ducks easter eggs and bunny ears. She loved it! Yes I know I am not the best artist but I do try.
I am thinking for the next holiday which is mother's day I may show pictures of the chaos that is my house during the week of decorating. That should be interesting.
Hope you all have a wonderful easter.

Valentines Day 2015

2015-01-29T16:07:00.001-06:00

Happy Valentines Day! After taking the photos I have decided I really need new furniture in the living room.
I think I may have a bad habit. I may need to have my putty taken away. I may have gotten a little carried away with hearts all over the house. Hey the way I see it, it's fun.
Hope you have a wonderful Valentines.
All comments are welcome. Please let me know what you think.

Valentines themed mardigras

2015-01-15T17:25:00.001-06:00

Here is my attempt to decorate for Valentines day and mardigras. They are only a few days apart so after a lot of thought I decided to use both. What do you think?

Happy New Year! 2015

Happy New Year!
I am sad to take down Christmas but excited to put up new years decorations. I only decorate the kitchen for new years because it takes a few days to take all the Christmas trees down. I may actually have the livingroom done but its not likely.
Whatever may be the case. What do you think? If you have any other ideas for me please let me know. I really appreciate your ideas.
I want to wish everyone a very happy new years! May you have a very wonderful 2015!

Christmas 2015

2014-12-17T14:20:00.001-06:00

Merry Christmas & happy holidays! I hope you have a wonderful holiday season.
This year I changed things a little bit . Of course you know that was to be expected.
This year I decided to use snow drifts in the living room. I put them on all the shelves. I hung them with the wall putty. Seems to work unless you bump into them. Then they will fall. It was a purchase made last year at the end of the season . I bought several of them on clearance. I only paid 50 cents a package. So I guess it was a good use of them. Brian didn't much care for them. I don't know that I will use them again next year.
This year in the kitchen I had to lose my big tree. I went back to the smaller ones. Kind of disappointing but I will live. Sniff... I had to move my big tree from the kitchen to the basement. We bought new furniture in the basement so my tree no longer fit. That is why my Christmas tree from kitchen had to be moved. Sniff... I decided not to write a recipe on the wall this year. Instead I added trees and wrote twas the night before Christmas. Hey the way I see it if I can't have a large tree in the kitchen. I will find a way to put as many small trees in there that I can. I think it looks alright. Maybe this year after Christmas I will find another tall skinny tree for my kitchen on clearance. Wish me luck.
I did buy one tree this year new. My granddaughter really wanted a purple tree for her room. After a lot of thought I decided to buy a white tree. I added as much purple as I could so she would be happy. This way if next year she doesn't like purple no worries. I will just change the colors. By the way, she loved it. I actually think it's one of the better trees in my house. It's so much fun.
Next year I think I'll change the bedroom, I think it's starting to get a little boring. I'm not sure what I'll do yet, but I'll figure it out. The way I see it, as I have 12 months to figure it out. And maybe next year I'll figure out how to put a tall tree in the bathroom. Pretty sure Brian won't be happy though. He'll live through it he always does.
I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. This year's New Year's resolution, it just stay on top of this blog. If everything goes well I shall write another blog for New Years.

Here are a few photos of holidays that I did not post to my blog. I am very sorry that I did not post these pictures because time did not allow. I will try to keep my blog updated from this moment on. I will now post a few photos from previous holidays so that you can see I did decorate I just didn't blog.

Happy mayday!

2014-05-01T17:57:00.001-05:00

This one is for you Mary Schroeder! You came up with the idea for me to do mayday so I decided to write happy birthday to you as well. I hope you enjoy this. Happy birthday also.
Hope everyone has a wonderful mayday! Don't dance around the pole to much...
Happy spring!

Mardigras

2014-02-24T19:38:00.001-06:00

I am so sorry! I just realized that I have misspelled the word Mardigras on my blog. During a search for more ideas I noticed auto correct was spelling it maudi gras . Sometimes I think I am a bit to reliable on the spelling on my phone. I never even notice the mistakes. Once again my apologies.

Happy Maudi gras!!!!

Laissez les bons temps rouler "let the good times roll"
Happy Maudi gras. Hope everyone has a wonderful time and I hope you get lots of beads. The legal way of course.
You can use all the beads to decorate with next year. Good luck untangling them though. I have tried a hundred different ways to keep them separated but they always end up a mess.
See you again for St patricks day.
Happy Maudi gras!

Valentine decorations 2014

Happy Valentines Day!

   Hey mom, do these Valentines hanging in my livingroom look familiar? They should, grandma kitty saved them from your first valentine party. She even dated them. My oh my, they are old. Lol.
    I have come to the conclusion that I may have a problem. I think I have an addiction to my #Loctite fun-tac putty. You really can hang anything with it. As I walk around my house I realized I may get carried away with it. I love it! It's reusable and alot of fun.
    The next time I post a blog will be for Maudi gras. I can't wait. I dont always get to decorate for this one.
   I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day!

Happy New Years !!!

Happy new years! I spent all night getting the kitchen christmas decorations put away.
I have finished decorations for new years in the kitchen. I dont really like the lettering but it will have to do for now. Its late and I don't think I have the time tonight to make changes. I hope to find time to decorate the livingroom but it doesn't look like it is possible. If I do I will post pictures as soon as I can.
Happy new years! I hope you all have a wonderful new year!!!
