January Nesting

January is such a bare month at the Swamp. I put off packing up Christmas as long as I could....
Last year I pulled out some snowmen and started a January box. So now I have something ready to pull out. I added some crystal and silver to my stash and spent the day playing with the new look. Mom brought this cute little shelf down at Christmas along with many of these salt dishes. Mom's sister passed away last year and she sent me most of these little salt dishes.
And over on this side a ring of skeleton keys , some royal coronation cups, and an ultrasound picture of our princess!
The parlor minus the trees. New little chair over by the fireplace will move to the dining room....someday. For right now it has a cat blanket covering the needlepoint because a certain Evil one has made it her new perch.


The coffee table got some Hobby Lobby love- new silver floral picks- 80% off. And some Kohl's love-glass snowflakes- 75% off.



It is hard to take pictures of the silvery/glittery stuff- it looks gray!





I'm off to surf the blogworld...looking for inspiration....a New Year's craft perhaps???????????????

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! And War Eagle!
The camera battery was dead Christmas morning- but, I have no excuses for not taking pictures the rest of the time. I just never put the battery back in the camera after recharging...never even thought about it.... This was my big surprise from Santa- a trunk wrapped up like a pirate chest! The trunk (future home of lots of fabric) was full of surprises including my smocking pleater and a Bissel Pet Spotbot (oh! how I love it!)

Youngest Boy in his new hat and sweatshirt showing Lulu some love.....


Lulu not sharing the love:)

My Mom with 3 0f 5 Grandkids and me...............still can't believe those tall ones in the back are my babies! Happy 2011!
