2010 - The year I kept all my New Year's Resolutions!

Show and Tell Friday!

 I can't believe Christmas is almost here! It just snuck up on me this year! I put my 2nd tree up in my dining room and I never decorated it with the plates and teacups as I have done the last 2 years! It's too late now! 

I did add a few things to my birdhouse table that my dad made for me back in the early 90s so that's what I'm sharing for Show and Tell today....






If you are joining in

Are you ready yet?


I'm still not ready for Christmas!  I'll be back tonight with my Show and Tell post but for now I thought share this old video I made back in 2008!  I hope you don't mind reruns!
