christmas: {Pinterest} Inspired: Holiday Door Tags
- 12/01/13 03:23 AM
Inspired by Pinterest we (husband Tim and I) would make holiday door tags on the occasion of one of our friends new home purchase (yes, I was the Realtor) . We used some of the wood that we had left over from our office wall project. Tim quickly cut the size and shape. Unbeknownst to me Tim used red spray paint on the door tags. Well, he said he told me, but I must not have been listening. Oops. I decided to just sand the front of the door tags down to make them look a bit 'rustic'. We were … (6 comments)
christmas: Romantic Christmas Market in Georgetown, Colorado
- 12/01/13 03:14 AM
Every year around Christmas I yearn for the traditional European Christmas Markets from my youth. I have long given up on finding what I remember...let's face it...it's not Germany and that's ok. So I take what comes close - like the Denver Christmas Christmas Market that was really fun last year. The city of Denver has done a great job and I am looking forward to going this year again. However, my favorite Christmas Market so far has been in Georgetown, Co. Georgetown is easily accessible right off I-70 - you can see it when you drive past on your way to … (0 comments)
When I grew up in Germany, I could hardly wait to get my advents calendar ever end of November. Starting December 1st I would make a beeline every morning to it, to see what chocolate design I would discover. When my kids were born my best friend in Germany made 24 little cloth bags for me that I could fill for my children every year.That was 18 years ago. I am ecstatic to say that these little christmas bags have made it through our move from Germany to the United States and then the 8 military moves within … (4 comments)

christmas: Pinterest Inspired Christmas Decor
- 12/14/12 02:18 PM
Recently I was inspired by this photo on Pinterest to make some sort of seasons greetings for a large empty wall space in my house. I am not much of an instruction reader so I determined that I could use some small canvas frames that I had recently bought on sale, some of my kids' poster paint and painters tape. I quickly noticed that I had to improvise, since I did not have enough canvas to actually make a "Merry Christmas". I simply had to be content … (3 comments)

christmas: A Merry Military Pilot Christmas To All
- 12/25/11 02:25 AM
Our friend is currently stationed overseas with the Armed Forces, he is a pilot. I am so glad that he is returning home soon. This morning we received this message from him and I was so touched. I thought, I'd share his little message to honor all our military members who can not be at home this year. Good bless. Be safe. Come home soon!
"Past 1:00 am Christmas morning as we ripped through the night, I wondered if those on the ground realize its Christmas tonight. At 130 knots and a few hundred feet, the roar of the … (15 comments)
christmas: Will you write a Christmas Newsletter?
- 12/18/11 03:59 PM
'Tis the season....for Christmas Cards and Newsletters. Since the dawn of Facebook, where your friends or your customers can keep up with you on a daily basis, you would think a Christmas Newsletter has become obsolete. Not really so, there is nothing like receiving letters in the mail, tearing up the envelopes and reading the greetings from friends and acquaintances maybe next to the fireplace with a cup of hot tea. I don't even want to think what would happen to our tradition of hanging up Christmas cards in the house if noone were to send cards anymore! Think about this … (4 comments)

Time goes by so quickly, that before you know it, Christmas is around the corner. Not everyone has time for making. Do you really want to make one, but really don't have too much time, try one of these suggestions: 1. How about a "Sugar Lemon Rub"?
