Pretties

Today has been a strange day in that I didn't have much to do. Probably a large part of that is because my fiance and I are house sitting this weekend for his parents, and since I was not at home there was no cleaning to be done. Yay! So, while watching HGTV I edited some of the pictures that I took on Wednesday of things in our living room that make me happy. I hope

they make you smile too. :) I played around with some newish post production options, and I was pretty pleased with the results. What do you think?

I also put away all of our Christmas decorations on Wednesday, but before the ornaments went back into their crates to wait for next December I took a few pictures. I love how festive these look.

Yellow is one of my favorite colors for decorating/accenting. It makes everything look a little brighter, don't you think?

One of my very favorite books: The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone

Holiday Mashup Part 1

A few of my favorites from Thanksgiving and Christmas 2009. Forgive me for being horrendously late, that's just the way I am sometimes. :)
Some of these are from our trip to the upper peninsula of Michigan to visit my fiance, Jeff's uncle Mike and his family. The rest are from around home.
Let me know what you think!

I just couldn't get enough of these chickens in the snow.

Don't we look so cold? This is what we woke up to on Thanksgiving morning. It was gorgeous. Talk about something to be grateful for. :)
