Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Well, we did get our little 4' tree, got it up, but have yet to decorate. Hubby hangs the lights, & he was too tired last night to do it. I hung them one year & he got sooo upset I "didn't do it right", so I no longer do it. That's his job while I supervise the girls on hanging the ornaments. The girls decided they really love all our old ornaments so we litterly dug the box of Christmas decorations out of storage. Both hubby & I have ornaments from when we were kids & I have some that were my mother's when she was much, much younger! The girls LOVE just to look at them each year. I saw an article in a magaine a couple years back about how collecting old ornaments has become the hot new trend, and after seeing some of their samples of them from the 30's to the 60's, I realized that some of the ones I have from the 40's are probably collectables. Not that I'd ever sell any, they have too much sentimental value!! Oh, I did get a paper chain made (I really enjoy making paper chains!! LOL) but the rest of the family didn't want one on the tree, although we will never fit all we have from storage on our little tree, they'd rather fill it with them. So my paper chain will go to work with me & decorate the front of my reception desk.
And, now on to part #17 ~ 2 tabs & a tag ~

Oops ~ Again!! ;)

Man, I just can't get it right this week! First, sorry about the link for the blue ribbon being disabled. I didn't intend to do that, but that's what happens when you attempt these things in the morning while trying to make sure 3 girls are getting ready for school (no easy task I assure you!!) & are running late. Then to top it off, the ribbon in yeterday's download was again, the wrong one!! These ribbons are getting the best of me this week!! LOL!!

Along with today's part, I will add a link for a zip file with both corrected ribbons. The link for part 15 will be available for the next 24 hours, but I will leave the ribbon link up through the weekend. Without further ado ~ here is part #15 ~ A "circley" paper, ric rac, & ribboned photo prong ~

Opps

Thanks Felicia for pointing out I goofed again LOL!! Apparently the zip for part #13 had a pink ribbon in it not the blue as pictured. I should be hanging my head in shame, instead I'm laughing at myself for being such a air-head!! It's not my first mistake, & it sure won't be my last!! Here is the link for the blue ribbon. (Be sure to right click on it & 'save as') ~

Getting Sick

It's happening.... sore throats, runny/stuffy noses, coughing etc. have hit our family. So far I'm feeling fine (knocking on wood!! LOL) but Savannah, Sean & Darien are getting sore throats, and Savannah and Darien have the runny/stuffy noses. But, they have not gotten too sick to go to school!! They are getting mega-doses of OJ & to bed early each night because I do not want this getting worse ~ or getting me!!
Now on to today's little treasure ~ a C-Mas tree paper, be-ribboned paperclip & dotted ribbn ~

Day 12 ~ And the Countdown Begins....

The girls are so excited only 12 more days until Christmas; despite the fact we have not decorated, gotten a tree, or even began shopping for gifts!! We had to move unexpectadly in July (our landlord sold the house we were renting) and you'd think 30 days would be enough time to find another house to rent, but not where we are in AZ. Anyway, we ended up in an apartment with most of our belongings in storage. Including the Christmas decrations. And going from a 1700 SF, 3 bedroom house to a 1000 SF, 2 bedroom apt. makes it difficult to find a place for a tree!! I've always had a live tree since I was a kid. The smell of one reminds me of Christmas when I was younger & Dad would take us out in the woods to find the perfect tree to cut. Ahhh the memories......

Now on to why you stopped by today ~ part #12 ~ a felt, jewel accented funky flake, tab & beribboned safety pin!

Jump!

I neary forgot about this LO I did a few weeks ago. I used Lisa Whitney's 'A Beautiful Mess' over at Scrap Artist. The second I saw this kit, I fell in love with it. LOL I've seen so many freestyle LOs, but could never seem to master one, but was determined to use this kit & freestyle away!! I love the way it turned out & will have to give it another try. Check it out ~

Silly Me

It was brought to my attention that I announced part #6 for today instead of part #5. It was 5:30 AM when I posted it, & I guess my brain wasn't totally awake! LOL
Unfortunately, the remainder of my day pretty much went the same. It seemed like if I didn't write down what someone just told me, I completely forgot what we discussed!! The company I work for manufactures custom made iron products such as front entry doors, security screen doors, pool fenicng, gates, railing, etc. Anyway, I schedule all the installs & today just went to hell in a hand basket. It seemed that everything went wrong. My manager called me to discuss the day & who we had to call to reschedule & for when. I mistakenly wrote down a customer's name, who was scheduled today for one crew, to reschedule for tomorrow. I called the customer to let them know the crew was unable to make the install & we had to reschedule. The customer was P.O.!! He yelled & screamed at me, wouldn't let me get in a word edgewise, then hung up on me. When I called my manager to let him know I didn't get anywhere w/ him in rescheuling, he said "No, no, that as the wrong client!!!" I tried calling the client back, but he wouldn't answer the phone!! I left a voice mail pleading for forgiveness, appoligized profusely, and let him know the install was still going to happen. Luckly, he called back a bit later & accepted my appology. I was so ready to go home at that point!! LOL
I'm now off to enjoy Riley in both her choir& band concerts tonight.
Back in the morning with part #6!! LOL

Delight!
