crafty shtuff: christmas swag

Over the Thanksgiving week and few weeks following there was heavy winds hitting the island. These winds brought down a lot of tree limbs. From the first moment I saw these wayward bows all I could think was "nice swags". 
This week while my parents were visiting we scavenged around collecting limbs and got our swag on while watching A Christmas Story.

Best Christmas movie ever!
Why is there nature all over my floor?!






     Limbs, check! Floral wire, check! Burlap ribbon, check!
Getting the arrangement just right before wiring it together.

Mom's swag to take home to Yakima.

I hung my swag with care on the sliding door entry.
I just used a suction cup to hang it.

It was a pretty easy crafty session since I used the ribbons in my craft stash. We even had enough to make two more to give to my neighbors Tim and Peggy. Spreading Christmas cheer sure is fun!

kitty shenanigan's: naughty kitty

Doris was caught in the act of messing with the Christmas tree!

Playing the roll of cute cat next to tree, Doris!

Do-de-do... I don't think anyone is watching.

Hiiii-ya! take that naughty Christmas ornament!

HA-ha... I didn't even get caught. Just sitting here looking cute by the tree light.
