White Wishes

Tell me today isn't December 2!

Please...

I have been wishing for Christmas since...

LAST Christmas!

Making plans...

making lists...

shopping...

and then around October I pull myself back because there's LOTS of time!

Then I wake up one day and...

BAM!

It's here...and I find myself swamped...

with good intentions...

but swamped.

 

So sorry I haven't been around.  

For what it's worth,

I have been peeking in at YOUR place from time to time though.

 

Let's see...I volunteered to whip up a "Nutcracker Boutique" to raise money

for the ballet company...in less than 2 weeks.

it's CRAZY...

but GOOD!

But it does mean TONS of tutus:)

I have managed to do some decorating....

with my huge white tree!

At first, I was a bit worried...a WHITE tree?

But...if I say so myself...

it's GORGEOUS!!!!!

I could look at it all day long.

It doesn't photograph well.

With the lights and my poor photography skills, it looks pink.

So I guess maybe I should rephrase that and say that I don't photograph it well:)

So I played with the photos and they have an aged look...

kind of creamy white...not pink.

Not this tree.

Kind of vintage, right?

Because I'm going for a vintage/glam look this year:)

LOTS of GLITZ!

Here are a few of my favorite ornaments:)

I think if you click on the small photos, they will enlarge so you can actually see them!

My tree topper is a gold crown I bought this summer at Marshalls...

spray painted white...

and adorned with jewels.

My very own crown jewels!

 

SO that's my story these days.

Oh yeah...and a really nasty cold...but I think I'm back.

Hope all is MERRY and BRIGHT with all of you...

if anybody is still listening:)
