Now on Friday I did something I have never done before...I went shopping in the morning...4 am to be exact! Kohl's had a really good deal on sweaters...but the line being wrapped from one end of the store to other was not worth two sweaters, then waited in line until Old Navy opened...nothing there...frustration sets in a t this point, I then get in line to wait for Target to open at 6:00 am...finally something. A few small gifts for people, but some cool finds for me and Keith...a waffle maker like Kalla's, The Notebook on DVD for me, a household tool kit/drill and a mechanic's tool kit for both Keith and I, and some new gloves and hat for me. It was fun...though it would have been better if someone had been with me...oh Sara!
After coming home for a few hours and sleeping, I then got out the Christmas boxes and decorations and set to work. The first Christmas Keith and I were married he helped with the tree, but after discovering how fanatic I am about the tree, he lets me do it by myself...hopefully I can change by the time we have kids--or buy a second tree for them. This year I discovered that I need more space to decorate...my mantle is a bit overcrowded with new decorations acquired in the past year. Also, check out the button tree I made, found here.
We also took a fun video of Seth giggling and learning how to beat up his sisters.
These were pillows I got from Goodwill--originally from Target--I got them for $5.00 for all 3!
3 sweaters--$3.50 a piece and 2 skirts--$2.00 a piece from Goodwill!
After:
So I have lately been reorganizing and styling my scrapbook area--decided that I wanted an open feel and to be able to see all my products--so my inspiration was glass jars and metal containers. Most of the purchases are from garage sales and Goodwill.
This is my letter storage area...the top drawers hold my chipboard alphabets and the bottom drawers hold my ABC foam and rubber stamps. On top of the drawers are my ribbon jars.
This spice rack was a garage sale find and holds my little embellishments, sorted by color. The other jars hold my floss and fibers, and my most used tools.
These cups hold my markers and pens sorted by color.
This shelf holds common used things: tools, paint supplies, and pictures.
These containers hold my ABC stickers, stickers, and themed papers.
These are all my stamps--rubber and acrylic.
This crate holds my in progress projects and unfinished albums.
These are all my embellishments and supplies sorted by color. On top of this shelf is random supplies.
This is my inspiration wall...these people, my family are the ones who inspire everything I do.
These are my papers--sorted by color--and my die cutting machine and supplies. The paper crate on the left is full sheets (12x12, 8.5x11, 8x8) and the crate on the right is scraps.
This is one of my favorite items in the room--idea stolen from Sara--a bright green metal 
This is a true Te pic...in play mode-laughing and giggling!
Love that it's just about the eyes!
Te deciding that my head was a good place to rest his feet!
Again such a giggly face!

Sleeping through a shopping trip to Target.
This is his pug face...Sara makes him do it and it is HILARIOUS!
He loves to sit out on the porch and watch the cars go by and the planes fly overhead.
He is such a happy baby...always smiling and giggling!
