Just a teeny list of things I am slightly addicted to at the moment. 

 

 

Sweatshirt from Target men's department.  I seriously do not want to take it off.  It is so soft and warm, just long enough and just loose enough.  Hard to believe it's made for a man.

 

Also made for men... Hanes 4 pack, v-neck tees in black and gray.  I already expressed my love for the white ones, so I thought I'd get some other colors.  Comfortable and relaxing.

 

Dots skinny jeans.  I have had my pair for at least two years and never wear them... until recently.  They are so comfy and hold me just right and came in at a great price.

 

Roasted peanuts and candy corn!  I have to have a handful every night!  The combination of salted peanuts and candy corn sweetness tastes like a Payday candy bar.  Be sure to get the salted nuts and not be like me who was too cheap to spring for Planters nuts and had to get the lightly salted Kroger brand because that's all they had... not the same.  Boo.

 

Movies based at holiday time.  I was making ornaments last Sunday and watched The Holiday twice and The Family Stone once.  It made me cry too much to watch it twice.  I'm not quite ready tor Elf and A Christmas Story.  Easin' right in to the season here.

Turkey Shoot at Sleepin' Bear

Every year for the past seven years, my Father-In-Law has put on a big turkey shoot at the farm next door to us... Sleepin' Bear Lodge and Farms.  The proceeds from the shoot each year are donated to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital and Vanderbilt, which is a plus in itself!  We have a really big time having shotgun target shoots, pistol shoots, novelty shoots, raffle prizes and lunch to boot!  We have had prizes from turkeys, city hams and country hams to camo gear and even guns. 

We generally have a great crowd and would love to see you and your family there!

 

 

 

 

 



Christmas Inspiration

You never know where a bit of inspiration will come from.  That's why I do a lot of book requesting from the library.  I came across this book online and it found it's way to my hold shelf at the library.  This is a good one y'all!  It is Country Living Merry & Bright, 301 Festive Ideas for Celebrating Christmas.  I really enjoyed this book.  I am mostly a picture reading kind of gal.  This book had tons of hints and suggestions and pictures so I was very pleased!  Here are some of the pictures that were inspirational to my home decorating for Christmas this year.

 

 

Ok, I was inspired by the cover!  I will be using bottles and ornaments in the window above my tub this year for sure!

A good way to use up scrap fabric.

I love the idea of a front porch tree.

So easy, festive and fun!

These trees may be a touch on the tacky side but I adore them!

Love tinsel trees!

I really like this felted wool garland. 

I love the way they stuck bottle brush trees and presents just here and there in this open cupboard.

Winter Boots For Me: I have loved my Minnetonka boots so much that I desire a pair for cold weather and dislike wearing socks so the lining will take the place.

 

For Him: What?!?!  Don't you think these would go with Shaun's overalls?  Stop laughing Julie!

 

I Could Do This Hat: I really think I could

 

I Love Leather Fringe Bags: It's true.  I've been carrying the same red Skull Creek bag for two years.  I have one back up that I bought from this fabulous etsy seller and friend, Barb.

 

Dreaming Of Spring: I am thinking of trying the tie up mocs next Spring.  What do you think?
