Christmas Home Tour

Knock.Knock. Well who could that be? Knock.Knock. Well come on in I didn't know a soul was on the place. Welcome to my 1st Christmas Open House with BooMama..Have a seat and set awhile. I will put on a pot of Hazelnut Mocha flavored coffee. I hope you enjoy the tour....

This is my Christmas tree in the living room.
This is my Snowman collection. I have been collecting snowmen for several years...My mom made this snowman runner. She appliqued the snowmen and then did a stipple effect similar to hand quilting. This is one of the ornaments that I made this season. These are the beginning of a "W" wall.
This arrangement stays out all year long on my dining room table. It blends really well with my Christmas things.
Here's the big tree in our den, it's decorated with all my snowmen ornaments, kids ornaments (they get a new one every year) Lots of red and homespun touches to it.

Merry Christmas from the The Williams Klan

Craft Bazaar & Lots of Parties

We had a aunts & cousins ornament exchange this afternoon. We had wonderful food and we played Dirty Santa, some call it White Elephant or Chinese Christmas. We had 23 ladies and 8 little ones. We had a lot of cool ornaments and lots of stealing (ha!ha!). Their is always next year. My mom, My sister & best friend aka Cocomama, My niece Colby, My granddaughter Kaylee & myself.

Saturday night we had our annual Christmas Party with the Razorback Riders Club. We had it catered and Santa Claus even came by and brought presents for all the kids. This is my nephew, Paxton. (He was glad to see Santa)

Jake was also glad to see Santa (He was to keen on sitting on Santa lap but was a good sport for his mama)

Kaylee was scared of him so Rhonda stood with her for support!!! We played Dirty Santa with the adults again.

Friday night was my work Christmas Party. We had AQ Chicken catered it. It was good. This is my boss opening his gift. There were around 45 people. We also played Dirty Santa and had some really nice gifts. I made a haul 19" Flat screen TV, Craft sewing machine & a photo printer. We had a really good time. Last Saturday, I had my first craft bazaar. I sold bookmarks, monogram ornaments, scripture frames. I did pretty good, except for I shopped in the other booths!!!!
Working hard making money.....

Have a good week!!!!!!!!!!!

I have it BADD!!!

I am hooked on reading.....A couple posts backed I told you guys that my son, Jake told me about these books that all his teachers and classmates were reading and told me that I should read them so when we were at Wal-Mart doing our weekly grocery shopping I picked Twilight....by Stephanie Meyer...Oh My Gosh!!!!!!!!I am enjoying this book, I have been reading just at night before I went to bed (it's hard to read with a 12 yr & 4 yr old in the house)......but it has taken me almost 2 weeks to read it but I loved it .....
So Saturday I went our local Sam's Club and picked up the next sequence in this series, New Moon... I am already half way done with this book. I am definitely liking this book..

There are 4 books in this series!!!Also I got my sister to start reading Twilight, so next Friday November 21, 2008 The movie "Twilight" is coming out in theatres. So my sis and I are planning a girls night out to go to see the movie!!!!!

I hope everyone has a great week !!!!

Well I have a little story to tell, We had an extra refrigerator from the house we are selling, so my aunt decided she wanted to buy it for $200.00 so we loaded it up and headed to Forum, Arkansas
just about 1/2 mile from her driveway the snap broke out tumbled the fridge, my hubby said "Oh Sh??" about that time I looked in the rearview mirror and all I saw was sparks flying...Yep the fridge was in about 100 pieces...I just wanted to cry but, we just laughed at the situation and was thankful no-one was hurt....I worked to today so tonight my feet are hurting abit, I got up to go in the kitchen, I walk with a little bit of a limp at night my granddaughter Kaylee said "Nan, you need a pogo stick to help you walk!(What she meant was a walking cane)..Well I am getting to go on another work trip this week I will be going to Oklahoma City, OK. I am off to bed to read I started a new book "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer. My son, Jake recommended it said all the teachers at school was reading the series.
