N saw this and said, "MAAAAAAHHHHHMMMMM, [Mom] you are so lucky!"
I said, "Ya know... the harder you work the luckier you are."
S (16) said, "Whoa. You are amazing." Meaning... where do you keep all these corny sayings?

This is from Utah Valley Magazine. Last year when the home tour was canceled I called UV Mag and told them that our house was kinda decked out, might be good in a future Christmas issue. Jeanette Bennett and her husband came by and took lots of pictures. Fun! Doesn't quite capture all the glitter though. ;)

Entry

The far above left is "before." Below is some of the Xmas hullabaloo. The pictures don't capture it. I was anxious to take it down and didn't check that I got all the shots that told the story of the "Holiday Home Tour" that wasn't. The overall counter was covered with sparkly, icy stuff. Snowmen, penguins, skiers. Colorful collaged trees and a guest book. To the left was a banister decorated with ornaments and faux cedar garland.

W is for WALLPAPER once again.

Searching around the internet for wall paper for the entry way and other projects... So far my favorite wall paper site is Hanna's Treasures.
