The end of another busy day. I'll write a proper post tomorrow. I didn't want to let a day slip by without anything new here. I bought this Santa a few years ago. It's one of my prized possessions. This is just a peek.
so far I have avoided the after Thanksgiving shopping mess. Just a quick trip to Target after more Christmas lights for outside. The trip was worth it. My front of the town house looks awesome if I say so myself. My surfing santa is back out this year. My Jewish neighbors said it was very me and loved it. Then asked if I would please put my tree in the front window so they could enjoy it also. There are only about 5 Christian families in our whole community. (200 homes) I did get some new sheets for myself and a new comfy snuggle blanket for my sons girlfriend. She'll love it. She is always snuggling and falling asleep on the sofa. I will be off to Borders for those 50% off books, if I can ever get that coupon to print. Drats.
Hope your having an awesome weekend of shopping and decorating.
WoW that is a beautiful Santa. You have great taste!
I haven't put up any decorations yet, even though that was my plan.
No time today, as we go out of town for Sunday dinner with the extended family. But maybe I can sneak in a few before I leave, if I can get off of this computer! Lena
I like the angle of the picture. We have a place nearby in Kirkland that dose some wonderful handcarved Santas and what-not. Especially a lot of what-not. :)
i have always loved those carved antique style santas...i have a few of them myself. it's just a matter of un-grinching myself and getting stuff set out. but well..apparently i have no choice this year..i made a deal with jamie---so i have to keep my end of the bargain :))
I have the perfect job for me. I choose to be a happy person. I have a 23
year old daughter, a mostly local family and some great friends. I live in a sun-filled home that I love. I love to learn. I'm easy to please. I'm not always what I seem.

That Santa is gorgeous, Cheryl...how big is he?
I'm trying to get in the spirit of decorating. Maybe you will inspire me.
