Here’s what they look like after Snow Storm Allison. Much of the city was paralyzed as we had to try and find our way out of more than 12″ of snow! But, we have our White Christmas. Can’t complain about that!

I love shopping on Sundays during football season! We managed to get quite a bit done and I also had to peel myself out of Archiver’s before I did anymore damage. This was my first time shopping there and I can’t believe I never visited before! They host classes (with neat free projects listed on their website and have free make-and-takes) plus have a lot of specialty items that I’ve only seen online. So, props to them for a nice, organized, inspiring store! I was drawn to the $1.99 section (which isn’t your typical discount selection – great stuff) where I found some gorgeous felt poinsettias to match the K&Company Brenda Walton Christmas Stack I got at Michael’s. It’s the vintage-looking Christmas collection – I absolutely love it!

Now for my photo for today. While at Archiver’s, I purchased many a thing to decorate and give as gifts. One thing I purchased was this recipe box holder. My mind is in a creative overload. I have so much I can think to do with it, that I need to back up the truck a little bit (did I just hear my stepdad’s words coming out of my mouth fingers?) and plan what I am going to do. It is completely overwhelming. What questions should I be asking myself?

And now, the big, bad box.

I amaze myself. Heh. Anyway, here are my penguin homeboys that are outside of my house. I love them, and though we can’t compete with the neighborhood Griswalds across the street, they always bring a smile to my face.

I had to snap a picture quickly before it melted. Just before I could get my camera out, big snowflakes were coming down in what looked like big cotton balls coming down from the sky. Wish I could’ve grabbed my camera sooner when Lucy was staring out the window completely amazed. Next time.

Hopefully soon it will beautiful! I am having trouble adding the badge for the December photo link on my side bar, I think it may have something to do with the theme I am using. I could see it on my phone but not on Firefox or Safari? Weird.

Anyway, we still don’t have all our Christmas decorations up, but Jorge did get the lights strung on the tree, and there is something magical about lighting up a Christmas tree, isn’t there? {Sigh} I just LOVE this time of year! We even got a sprinkling of snow today. Lucy was most excited.

Since I’m starting Dec 2nd, I will be off by a day (and it will drive me insane) but I think I’ll probably just post two photos New Year’s Eve or two on Christmas. I’ll be documenting this crazy month (because December always is!) with a photo per day. Hope I can keep up! If you’d like to join the challenge, please visit ThoughtsNStuff to sign up.

This first image is of my favorite corner in my kitchen (yes, I really painted my kitchen that color – on purpose!) These little cocinas bring me to my happy place – and make me wish I was eating some tamales. :)
