Happy Holidays everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!! Mine was just perfect, just me and my 3 boys. My oldest hasn't been feeling that good lately so we just stayed home and I cooked a few things and we took yummy afternoon naps. That was the best!
I started decorating for Christmas today. I'm already showing my battle scars from my fight with the tree! One row of lights weren't working and I spent 20 minutes looking for a burned out bulb when finally my son comes over and says "Mom, I think you just need to plug it in". I looked over and there was the plug, unplugged!! HELLO, Bueller, Bueller?
Thanks to my 6 year old! :)
Anyway, the decorating on the living room tree has ceased for now because I can't for the life of me find the tree hooks. This happens every year! You would think I would put them somewhere where I can find them each year, but that would be too easy. So hubby is going to have to run to Target for me after work, he just doesn't know it yet!
I finished my son's room though, and thought I would show you photos. Now when I say finished, I mean the Christmas decor, just don't look at the half painted wall in the background, I ran out of paint, a month ago.
It will get done soon, I hope.
Notice the fabulous handmade pillows on the bed? My amazingly talented friend Amy from Mittens designed them for my boys. They are absolutely perfect!! And when I opened my package, she gifted my boys the pendant banners with their names on it on the wall by the bed. I cried like a baby when I saw the beautiful things that she sent. Sometimes I forget that there are actually still good and kind people in this world.
Thank you again sweet friend!!!
Just a quick shop note:
Everything in my Etsy shop is 10% off now until Monday Nov. 30th.
Here's one of the new designs I just listed~
"Grunge Princess"
I hope you all have a happy and safe holiday weekend, and
a huge thank you to all of the well wishes for my Mom. I know all of your good thoughts and prayers are going to help!
You are all so wonderful and special to me, thank you my friends!
Sincerely,
~Melinda
Oh it's looking very lovely...You know I had to laugh at the unplugged light thing. That is something I would do...teehee! An afternoon nap sounds good right about now.
ReplyDeleteWe are doing the tree in just a few minutes while Brooklyn naps.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you had an Amy moment for sure with the plugging in. HA
It looks so darn cute in the boys room.
I just love how you have it decorated. I wanted Brooklyns room to come off that way and I just could never get it there.
I am so glad that you just love everything, you are totally deserving of a little good cheer my friend.
You inspire me with your style and talent and that new necklace is headed to my xmas wish list!!
I am in love with it!!!!
Have a great and restful weekend with your family.
Amy
Your boys room is so sweet, the I haven't started our decorating, maybe this week, maybe... LOve the lights story, I bet we can all relate, since as moms were always multi-tasking! I love your necklace, it is just gorgeous! Theresa xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove the pillows...the boys room looks great!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!
Your son's room is just too sweet, and I just love the tree. Amy did a great job on the pillows, I love her work. I love your new jewlery, I wish I was the kind of girl who liked to wear it, but I can appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteOh, too funny Melinda, love the Ferris Bueller reference!! Glad you figured out the lights, nothing more frustrating than a string of lights that won't light (do I hear the Grinch in my ear?!) Your son's room looks fabulous, you are such a talented lady! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, Deb

Your sons' room is adorable, Melinda! I love those pillows and the banners! It was nice of her to send you a little something extra. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be pulling out the Christmas decor tomorrow (Sunday), but it usually takes a few days to get it all done.
How funny that you forgot to plug in the lights... I could see myself doing the same thing... lol! ;-)
Thanks for stopping by for a visit. :) I've never been to Turlock, so I haven't had the chance to shop at that store. I may have to make a trip there one of these days.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend!

ReplyDeleteHi Melinda,
ReplyDeleteI just love the pillow shams Amy did for your boys. She is a doll, I won there last giveaway where they got together and did up a beautiful basket of goodies.
I just love what you create, my friend still has and loves her "R" and crown coin and she loves it. I am always inspired by the beauty over here, your muted tones as well.
Have a beautiful Sunday!
