Ahh...it's Friday. As I was putting my coat on at work this evening, I had a painful flashback of the many Fridays in the past when I would race out the door, ready to see P. for a date. And as much as I wish that were the case tonight, I do have to say there's something comfy-cozy about this Friday-night-in. Organic frozen pizza in the oven...Brogan curled up on my lap...and lots of good books and DVDs...
There are also a lot of other happenings in my life right now besides the heartache (several good happenings, too!) but for this week I'm going to do my quick takes with a bit of a twist. Instead of seven updates, I decided to share seven Christmas-decorated areas of my home. The updates will come in time but for now...I hope you enjoy!

| Just seeing these cute little guys makes me want to bake cookies :) |

| Love this one. So much meaning. The sign above the manger says, "God Keeps His Promises." He did then. And He still does. |

 |
| Who wants to wash her hands with Sugar Cookie soap and then put on Peppermint Candy Cane lotion? |
--5--
 |
| So cozy. |

 |
| Coffee or tea? It always tastes better in cute mugs! |

 |
| I couldn't find my Advent wreath this year...so thanks to an idea from my creative sister, I have one now. |
--And just for fun--

| Whew! Christmas decorating makes me tired! (Check out his festive velvet jingle-bell collar) |

It looks wonderful! Really, it does, so inviting and cosy ... Tomorrow, I'm going to start decorating my house too!
ReplyDeleteI figured I would reply to your comments here since blogger doesn't let people know when someone replies to their post and I wasn't sure if you go back and look or not (not everyone has as much time on their hands as I do...haha I gotta admit I go back and look).
ReplyDeleteThat's so cool that your brothers lead Koinonia too! Such a small world :) And I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of their blog readers and commenters as friends! So you most definitely did not creep me out. I mean, I'm the one who emailed you because you popped into my head as I was getting ready to fall asleep one night last week, so if anyone gets the creepy award, it would be me ;)
And because I'm apparently trying to win an award for longest comment here, I decided I needed one more paragraph. Haha. How about we just agree that we're friends so neither of us has to be creepy anymore? :) Sound good?
Thank you, Ciska! I hope you had fun decorating!
ReplyDeleteJordan, haha. And I so appreciated that email and the prayers!! Agreed. :)
This look SO CUTE, Laura! I love your creative version of 7 Quick Takes. :) And the chalkboard advent wreath - so clever! Hope you are doing well!
