Tis' The Season

 
 
If there is one time of the year that I love the most...it's this one.
Right behind spring, summer, and fall of course.
But really, I do love me some Christmas.
I especially love me some Christmas decor, Jessica Simpson on blast, and peppermint smelling candles. Definitely the peppermint smelling candles....
If it wasn't for the flames and the wax, I would most likely eat them.
Instead I turn to my trusty partner in crime, peppermint schnapps.
 
Anyhow, you may remember way back when I announced an ornament swap that was going down between my blog and Jessah's blog over at Dreaming of Dimples (that's funny Jess--I dream of cute men with dimples all the time too ;)..) Well that ornament swap...it went down.


You see those two little diddys in the last picture up there? Those would be my ornaments that Jessah sent me. I actually don't think Jessah was the one that was supossed to send me my ornaments, however because she is amazing//talented//gorgeous//one of the most organized people I've ever met in my entire life, she took the liberty of sending me some precious little ornies.
Thank you lady, I love them.

I had the exciting task of sending an ornament to Janna at Perception is Everything. Guess you'll just have to hop your way over there to see what she was given :) You should also hop on over there and wish her well as her husband just returned home from serving overseas. Thank you Mr. Army Man.
 
I suppose now that all of my Christmas decorations are up, I should go enjoy them.
It's either that or string some lights around this computer screen.
I think I'll go ahead and go enjoy my tree, thank you very much.

And for the record, yes..I do just sit on the floor and stare at my tree and smile.
You should try it, it's fun.
 
ps. how much cuter is the word "ornies" than ornaments? i'm rather obsessed.
#ornies...it's about to be trending, mark my words.

pps. If you participated in the ornament swap--make sure to link up your big ball reveal party below.
"big ball reveal" actually means your ornament reveal. I mean ornie reveal. You get the point.
Regardless, I'm excited to see your balls.

  9. Love your decorations! Perfectly pulled together and colorful without looking cheesy. :)

    Now, what color are your walls? They look like a nice, rich taupe....I've basically been looking for almost that exact color. If you know the name of it, I would love to know it too!

  19. This swap was so fun! Thanks for hosting. I enjoy all the ball jokes... lots of ball jokes going on around here as my hubs got snipped on Friday... he's not supposed to lift anything and last night we went to pick up the baby and my 3 year old who has verbal apraxia manages to blurt out "no daddy...YOUR BALLS!" good times good times... but really love your balls, and your ornis and you. Merry Christmas lady!

  20. Erin, Erin, my ornament didn't arrive with my partner yet! I posted it on the deadline, but I'm in the UK and she's in the USA so it's only a couple of weeks. Should I send her another do you think? xx

  32. Loved doing the ornament swap! Thanks for hosting. Love the colts ornament you showed. Even though we are in Indiana, my husband is a die hard Miami Dolphins fan. We have about 10 of their ornaments on our tree! Sadly, it's starting to rub off on the kid.

I read and appreciate every one of your comments. Thanks for stopping by my space and sharing a piece of yourself on this huge ole internet. I meant that in the least creepy way possible. I'm just good at making everything awkward. Anyhow, thank you for your comments. They make me smile :)
