Christmas Trees and Cats

I love this....

its all about having a mix of

fantasy and childhood dreams in 

your life. 

HAHA....but I know an actual 

mermaid too in real life. I think 

it would be cool to be a mermaid but

did I ever tell you I have a BIG

fear of water!

Yep, I have to even HOLD my

breathe to stick my face under

the shower.

We all need some childhood 

memories and 

fantasy in our

life. Mine would be a mix between

the Wizard of Oz (childhood memories)

and clowns. I LOVE clowns. For years that 

was my go to for Halloween. I used to have a 

collection of clown figurines ~ like over a 100.

I packed the bulk of them up when Caleb and 

Amber moved in with me when Caleb was 

a yr old. They stayed with me for six yrs.

I realized I did not miss them so I left them

packed up then one yr I pulled them out

and sold them at a yard sale. But I still

love my clowns. 

We are up to year 11 on the 

Christmas cards!

Another one of my fave ones. 

Check these out. ADORABLE!

These would be so easy to make. 

Yesterday was the day. 

I need to stop purchasing these hats!

HAHA.

I acquried 3 new ones this yr.

Got them for my brother and sis in laws

Christmas pics but we did not use them.

I had to actually double hang a couple of 

them on my hooks on the window.

Lily walked by the tree, smelled it

and walked off. 

I love that this is her second

Christmas and cares nothing 

for the tree!

Here is a pic from last

yr with her.

This is as far as she 

went with it last yr. 

My brother Mark and Kim 

are hanging there tree from the 

ceiling to keep the cats

out of it.

Zuzu knocked their

tree down the yr before last.

Last yr they did not put one up.

 How many folks have had

that issue before?

And that is it. 

I used to do the kitchen, the bathroom,

the hall and the living room....

that is yet another thing I have had

to give up for 

Today I have hopes of doing somethings

outside. I did get a wreath hung on the 

downstairs window outside....but replacement 

windows are a miracle when it comes

to doing things like that.

Open the top, slide it down and 

throw the wreath outside, close the 

window on the wire that holds it in 

place. 

I will hang the two on my bedroom 

window today. Is it bad that I took 

them down after Christmas last yr and

never got them packed up, they sat in 

the corner of my bedroom all yr long.

Yep, for me, that is BAD.

One of these would be cute, so easy

to make this too. 

I love Christmas decorations

just like Halloween ones.

Although...after I took my 

Halloween ones down this yr, 

I packed them up and gave them 

to my daughter. I also packed

up a bunch of stuff for her

from my Christmas stuff 

yesterday. Life continues to change.

My sis in law Lori quilts. She taught herself

how several years ago. She does some

amazing work. I saw this on 

Pinterest this morning and 

thought of her. She has a couple

of old windows that she could do 

something like this with. I past

the pic on to her.
