Well, if you were paying attention, I mentioned in my last post that we had some snow days to spend together and that I still hadn’t decorated yet…. Here is what we came up with. This year we have a WHITE Christmas tree. ( i got it on CLEARANCE after Christmas last year) So lucky. Anyway, I have been dying to make a pom-pom garland FOREVER, and finally bought all the pom-pom’s I could find. (no, really. It’s true) Yesterday, my girls and I watched a movie and strung those bright (awesome – cute-can you tell I’m excited) pom-pom’s together. We all had a blast and it was fairly easy. (7 year old stuck herself a time or two with a needle. Only a few tears, and we were done.) So, today we decorated the tree in non-breakable ornaments, aka 2 year old proof.

It is so much less stress….I don’t fret one bit about the ornaments being thrown across the room, during a make believe baseball game.

Have a great day.
ps. sorry about the bad picture quality.
Mom even got in on the action. Some ladies won big, then gambled all their winnings away! Haha! Who knew we’d all be so entertained by flying fat quarters. 🙂
How cute are those snakes on the back of that tumbler quilt? Adorable! Plus, the heads on the snake are little pockets that flip out. SO cute! Then we have the altered squares quilt (our in- shop pattern) done with Fresh by Deb Strain. I just LOVE the bright colors in that line! (i wish I had saved some for me!!) 🙁 Maxine also made that cute baby quilt using a
