Exciting Card Idea...

I saw this picture at this blog.. Yes one of my faves

I LOVE the way they made the door all pretty.

I might use this if we get enough Christmas cards.

We still have not recived one yet.

Are you sending one soon?

LOVE these Tights!!

Tree Stand

Rick and I bought our first Christmas Tree on Sunday. It has been quite the process.

Our free tree stand we found at a rummage sale ended up being more work than we thought. Rick had to create a wooden stand for the tree stand to be attached to to make it more sturdy! He looks so proud of his creation!

OH I have to upload pictures of our finished decorating after we hang our

ornaments tonight. I realize I don't always post my own original pictures...

Which I would like to start doing. I just don't always pull out the large

fancy camera. Sometimes the IPhone is just quicker.

Stockings to buy or make?

So We have always celebrated St. Nick on December 5th...

Mom would fill our stockings with sweets and fruit with an extra small gift...

Usually socks or as we got older a C.D.

I still want to keep this tradition going in my new famiy

but we don't have stocking yet.

I just love the ones pictures above.

Should I buy them this year with the holiday fast aproaching?

I always wanted to make special ones.

I guess I can always make us new ones once we start a family.

Do you celebrate St. Nick?

Procrastinating a new hobby?

I have about half of my wedding Thank You's complete.

The other half I continue to put on the to do list day and day again

I just can't get them finished. Why?

I wish I could just shout Thank you and it would be done.

I had a deadline for Thanksgiving but I obviously didn't

make the cut. Maybe I should turn all electronics off.

Whats a Career...

I have been thinking alot about my career and life goals lately.

My currnet job designing for 3 categories at Target is causing me

to search for new opportunities to grow my skills.

It gets hard thinking about what I want to do when there are so

many peramaters... Can't I just keep my salery and make up my

own job? If I could I would design Dresses ALL DAY!

Speaking of Dresses, the one pictured above was posted on

Design MOM... It is one of the many Holiday dresses I worked

on for this season!! Make sure to stop by your

Local Target and get your own!!

New York in Pics..

I bought these cowboy beauties for only $20.00 in China Town!

We had the most beautiful weather...
Can you feel the warm sun
mixed with the fall breese?
Honestly could not have asked for
better weather.



We found this Bagel Shop in Mid Town East...
Ess-A-Bagel which is apparently the BEST!
I agree so Good.
You can order your own...

We also went to the Brooklyn Bridge..
Ruthann had a good time
exploring the city and the food!
I did too and I think next time I am in
NYC I would like to take the Ferry to
Statten Island...
