10 Most Popular Posts of 2014

Good morning everyone.  Hope you all are enjoying the holidays as much as we are.  We had a little bout of the flu bug but everyone is on the mend now and enjoying our beautiful weather - sunny, 70's and breezy.  What more could one ask for in December?  
Speaking of December - 2014 is fast winding down and we will soon be ushering in a new year.  I thought it would be fun to see just what posts were the most popular last year. Which ones you all liked the most.  So I am going to share the top ten with you starting with number 10.

Merry Christmas

Only two days till Christmas and I am busy putting the last minute touches on everything.  School is out and Miss A is beyond excited.  She has been through the packages under the tree a dozen times trying to figure out what is in them and her older siblings are just egging her on.  Oh the joys of being the youngest.

Christmas Throughout the House

Vintage, Paint and more... Christmas decor using vintage and DIY'd items


I think I have finished with all the Christmas decorating for this year.  I usually do a lot more but with the move taking so much energy and still not having all the things done I need to do for Christmas I find I need to stop.

The Story of the Nutcracker

I fell in love with The Nutcracker ballet many years ago and made it a tradition to see it when it was presented in an area close to our home. But even if I can't see it in person I catch one on TV to watch.

 Last year I decided to use all neutrals in our decor as you can see at Christmas 2013 - A Review.  I loved the way it turned out but my family (and I have to admit even I ) started missing the beautiful colors of red and green that come with Christmas.  So this year I decided to bring back the color and intersperse it among the neutrals.
