around the house...

we say this.


and seeing that everything becomes a competition,
even telling one another how much we love each other,
you must win the competition with

I love you most.

This was a special order for the shop

I loved making it and added the design to the rest of the "keeping Christmas simple" heart ornies.

I couldn't believe I didn't think of it first...
anyway I'm so glad that one of my shops visitors did!
*********
The last couple of weeks have been frustrating to say the least.
Danielle's car broke down and so I lent her my truck to go to work.
(she works 2 hours from her house-I work 5 min. from mine)
We got her car running over the weekend
(or so we thought)
Today I make plans to go see my dad, and am so looking forward to a long overdue visit,
go to get into her car and now there is something dragging from underneath it.
ugh.
really?
really?

so you know what this means, besides not being able to see my dad and miss out on a fun outing with him?
yep, I haven't done any shopping either, except for the things that I have gotten online, 
mostly from etsy I might add!
Looking on the bright side, 
(cuz that's what I do)
good thing we kept her car here for a trial ride to make sure that it was going to run for her,
or else she would have been stranded with no way to get to work!
(and she leaves in the wee hours of the morning)
things work out for the best.

for some of us anyway.

fa la la ing 
my way through this.

fa la la,
Theresa xoxo

  3. It's always something isn't it, at my house we always say "Well it's not cancer", it seems to put things in perspective! Now that you are home you will have to put something on your dress form for cripes sake! She needs more than a Christmas necklace LOL!

  12. First of all: I'm so sorry about your car troubles! It would be nice if that sort of thing never happened at all, though doesn't it always happen at the worst times? I've never had car problems where it was like, "Well, at least it happened on my day off, and right in front of this auto body shop." lol.

    Secondly: B. and I have, "How much do you love me today?" competitions. For instance, "Today I love you as much as basket of fuzzy little puppies. Some days he loves me as much as his entire record + stereo collection, so, a lot. :)

    Happy Sunday to you as well!
