everyone has the right to....


New Year's Eve is just around the corner! So I've been thinking about all the things that SPARKLE! Do you plan on adding sparkle to your nye or even 2012? I know I do...although I don't think I'll convince the mr that he needs to wear a metallic gold bow tie! But I could sneak it on the dog! Hope everyone has a happy & safe new year's celebration! Here's to a new year & another chance for us to get it right! After all, everyone has the right to S P A R K L E!

Until next blog....

...i must confess!

So I must say that I have always been one to enjoy each holiday...and have always tried to not rush through them! I even might say that I have said once or twice "I can't believe they already have the Christmas stuff up!" while shopping in stores. But for some reason...I must confess! I couldn't wait any longer & have started decorating for Christmas! Yes before my rule of waiting for the day after Thanksgiving! I just LOVE decorating...especially for Christmas! It's not that I don't appreciate Thanksgiving & all of its glory of leaves, pumpkins, turkey's, & pilgrims, but let's face it..there are only so many girly decorating options with Thanksgiving. So while I am SO Thankful for Thanksgiving & can't wait to celebrate it with my family. I just couldn't wait to get the ball rolling on Christmas decorating this past weekend!


Now enter Exhibit A...Little A to be exact :D Here is Little A's Christmas tree in her room::




I went in a very girly direction for her room, but also added personal little touches that represent her! I found little music note ornaments for her love of piano music...the only thing that will stop her dead in her tracks & cause her to pay attention for 2.5 seconds in time! Then there is a giant glittery bow shaped ornament...to represent all the countless bows mommy tries, tries, tries to keep on her :) even though she insists on eventually ripping it off! I also included a star ornament, which represented her birthday party theme this year (11.11 wishes). Then one of my favorites is a glass ballerina...and although she is too little for dance at this age (she just turned 1!) she insists on walking only on her tippy-toes, which calls for everyone who witnesses it to say "awe she is going to be a little ballerina!" Then the last ornament that isn't just for decorating the tree, but holds a special representation, is the two keys...because she simply is the key to mommy & daddy's heart!


So there you have it! Proof that I am guilty of decorating before Thanksgiving...but can you honestly tell me you haven't started or even thought about decorating for Christmas yet!!?
