First things first.
You must check out the Studio Calico December kit.
I love it. The color combo is not the usual for Christmas and that makes me love it even more. April and Scarlet released the sneaks last night, and here are some of mine:
Glad this week went by quickly.
I came home today from a crazy day of running around to a surprise package from my friend jen.
Here is what I found inside:
She completely made my day, how sweet is this?
She's such a great, thoughtful friend and I appreciate this sweet gesture so much!
Found these yesterday at Goodwill:
no light reflectors though, dangit.
In other news, here is what H and I worked on all last night:
Jimmy's Christmas box....I have to mail it next week if I want it to get there in time!!
I know this is a random, spazzy post, but it's all I've got.
Hope you all have an amazing weekend!

And if I find some reflectors, I'll share! I'm on the hunt, too. I do my tree and decor in as much retro as possible. :)

I read your blog everyday and think of you and the sacrifices your family is making often. Thank you so much. I am glad to see that you have some dear family and friends (like the one who made those lovely necklaces) to offer you some support in what must be an incredibly difficult time. Thank you so much for this peek into your life, how generous of you. I adore your style and have 2 young kids of my own, so I feel I am right there with ya somedays!

The sneaks are awesome! I was just talking about SC with a couple girls from my BookClub. We meet one time per month and we each have the same kit, and then we eat, talk and share what we all did with the same supplies. It is so much fun and I think we are going to try SC Kit at the first of the year! I just adore this kit! Love you finds, the lights are so cute. Hubby and I found some rockin antique blown glass ornaments last year. I know they have lead in them, but I will keep an eye on the boys around the tree! I feels sorry for my daughter this year, because I know Gavin Joseph is going to tear down the Christmas tree! Love your handmade tags that your friend made you! What a sweet friend. Have a great weekend. I am off to take a class today!

The sneaks are lovely!! I think I see some Amy B., which I love. Can't wait to see the LO of your baby pic in full. How cute!! Those pendant are gorgeous. What a wonderful friend. I had those "flower" Christmas lights as a kid. I'm sure my mom still has them tucked away somewhere in her house. Have a good weekend! xo

what a sweet gift!
that necklace is amazing!

I was looking at the photo of the girl and thought "oh, look at an old pic of Harper, in an old fashioned dress" then noticed the "circa 1978" -- holy smackers does that look like Harper....but then, there's a snip of Sadie as well. Suffice it to say, your girls look EXACTLY like you did as a baby. That is adorable!
