Cute hat from Etsy

A few weeks ago I won a contest on Campfire Kam's website, Campfire Chic. I won this pretty hat from Kathryn Greene Crafts.

I thought I was just getting a hat, but she also sent this cute headband. (I'm wearing it right now. This photo below is from today). I was hoping to get pics of my daughter wearing some of the things, but I never did & she's staying at my parent's house tonight. So pics of myself will have to do. She's much cuter in the stuff than me.

She also sent this cute pink headband & 2 extra flowers.

Check out Kat's blog too, Ramble Kat Ramble. Tell her that I sent you if you order anything.

Things that I'm looking forward to in 2012

Things I'm looking forward to in 2012

1) Shinedown's new cd coming out

2) Shinedown touring (I already asked hubs if he would hang out with me to meet Brent & Barry. None of my friends are fanatics like I am of the band)

3) My friend Peg's wedding

4) Going to Virginia next August, for Peg's wedding. I haven't been there since 2003. I have a bunch of friends & some relatives there. My best friend from the time I was 6 & she was 5 lives there & I miss her so. Anthony has never been to VA & I want Kim to meet Tara & for her to meet Kim's kids.

I will add more things as it gets closer to 2012.

4 years

4 years ago today, we moved to New Hampshire from Massachusetts. I lived in MA for 37 years, so it was a big change moving to NH. The people are so much mellower here & I am now too. I still have my Boston girl side if someone gets me angry, especially when driving.

Things I like about NH:

Calmer drivers (unless they are from MA)

Bigger yards

Bigger houses

Less traffic

Things I don't like about NH:

The power goes out everytime we get a storm & it stays out for almost a week

They don't plow good

Black flies

Mosquitos out during the day

It takes forever to get anywhere

You can't walk to things (I miss walking to the store & stuff)

Tastefully Simple

My friend Stephanie recently started selling Tastefully Simple products. She had a party a few weeks ago. It was a lot of fun. We got to taste test a ton of the products. It was all so yummy. I ended up ordering the Spinach & cheese dip (I hate spinach, but this was really good), the onion dip & the Chocolate ugly cake. I haven't made the cake yet, but I can't wait to try it.

Check out my friend's page to order something. Tastefully Simple

Mommy & Me Monday

This photo is from the tree lighting last night. I love the bonfire. It's so warm & cozy next to it. The hat that I have on, I won in a contest (there will be a post on it soon). It's really cute & Tara & I are going to share it.

Christmas tree time

We put our Christmas tree up today. I decided that I'm not putting everything out this year. We just have so much.

I guess the tree & mantel look pretty much the same every year. T already added some things under the tree from around the house.

My December daily book cover

I'm so excited about the December daily challenge. I think I will probably add some ribbons around the coils to cover them up.

December Daily

I will be doing a December daily album this year. I started it last year, but never really started it. So I am doing it this year. On the 1st day of December we went to a Princess birthday party for a 3 year old. These cute cupcakes will be on the 1st page of my book. They were really yummy.

Our friend Lea dressed up as Snow White & read a Princess book to all of the kids. They all got cute photos with her. She looked great.

I will post photos of my pages. Maybe once a week. Let me know if you are doing a December daily album. I'd love to check it out.
