christmas projects

this is a little christmas tree i made last night out of a recycled paperback book…i wanted a little tree for on my desk at work and i didn’t have one so i improvised. it was SO SIMPLE and turned out so cute. i love the little deer i cut out for infront of it. the picture of it is horrible because the lighting at work sucks…and i obviously forgot to move my cigarette pack before i took the picture lol
the kids and i made more christmas presents last night…they turned out AWESOME! i think this weekend we are going to make cinnamon/applesauce ornaments and maybe start some christmas cookies. this season i’m just all about making stuff and i am just LOVING it!
i believe rudolph is on tonight…i’m going to DVR it so we can watch it a million times before christmas. that is my second fav christmas cartoon…the grinch is my first. last weekend we watched christmas vacation, that movie never gets old huh…still as funny as the first time i saw it.

~shithouse rat~

shithouse rat…isn’t that just a fun, funny as heck statement? i have no clue at all what it means, i can kinda remember someone in my family playing a card game that i believe they called shithouse rat. but for now i’m just going to use it to my hearts content, my new fav saying…it can just be used in so many different ways. one way i used it last night “son of a shithouse rat”, love that one!

how about a little layout lovins today…this is for the new challenge up at dreamgirls. go check it out and check out the new dt members~

this new song out by joey and rory SO has my heart….seriously read these lyrics, how perfect are they? i’ve bolded my fav parts of the song…the parts i sing super loud just because i can…if i was in this girls place and my man cheated on me, this is exactly what i would write…LOVES it!

Cheater cheater where’d you meet her down at ernies bar?
Did she smile your way twirl her hair and say, how cute dimples are?
Did she use that line ‘your place or mine’ while you danced with her real slow?
tell me cheater cheater where’d you meet that no good white trash ho

Liar liar did you buy her whiskey all night long?
Did you hide your ring in the pocket of your jeans or did you just keep it on
When the deed was done an you had your fun did you think i wouldn’t know?
tell me cheater cheater where’d you meet that no good white trash ho

Now I’m not one to judge someone that I ain’t never met
But to lay your hands on a married man’s bout as low as a gal can get
Hey I wish her well as she rots in hell and you can tell her I said so
Cheater cheater where’d you meet that no good white trash ho

i made some more christmas presents last night, i am so SO loving making so many of the presents this year. makes me feel all warm and martha stewart-ie. i would share what i’m making BUT bec is going to be getting some of the yummyness and she reads here. i will be sure to take pics and post after the holidays!

**monday happies**

happy monday morning ya’all…we had such a nice long weekend! joe’s mom was with us from wednesday until friday and we had a GREAT thanksgiving meal on thursday. i do have to say my cooking rocked that day.

friday we also put up the tree…SO love that (although joe always bitches that it’s too early). the only problem is ming (the cat that ate rat poison) wont leave the tree alone. yesterday he actually chewed one of the lights off, damn cat. i can SO see a scene straight out of christmas vacation coming!

saturday we went shopping for the entire day, literally…we left the house at 7:30 a.m. and came home at 8 p.m. it was a long day but a productive one. my mom went with us and geesh, that woman can shop circles around me! jade got her hair cut and it looks so cute, now it’s all the same length as her bangs.

yesterday we just hung around the house…i worked on christmas presents all day long. such an awesome-creative day! i tried to crochet a little bit…and then remembered why i haven’t done it for years…we are SO not friends! i am the worlds worst crocheter!

the new challenge went up yesterday at guttergirlz…and you will NEVER freakin’ believe who the honorary gutter girl is…LINDA WOODS! linda, along with her sister Karen Dinino, are the authors of journal revolution…a book i totally ADORE! so go check the challenge and lindas awesome work! here is my layout for it~i love how creative i feel around the holidays…i just can’t hardly wait each day to rush home and get creating…this year especially so. the prompt should be up at dreamgirls soon too so i will be back with another lo!
