  •   Merry Christmas

    Well its that time of year and today is December 1st and ofcourse we had a ton of snow. The kids didnt have school so they loved that. I went outside in the freezing snowy cold weather to get some shots for you, so i dececided to get the shots of my home and how it is decorated. I hope you enjoy....

    Welcome to my formal living room. This is the room I never use, it's too formal for me! But I put my tree in here. I love my tree, I do it exactly the same every year. The kids have their tree which you will see coming up. Notice the 2 Renoir's on the wall. I painted them about 2 years ago. I painted long before I photographed!

    Ahh and my kitchen. I designed this myself and I do use it all the time. I do after all have 4 children to feed. I tried to keep it simple, but naaaaaa! I love the tin ceiling and the subzeros ofcourse. I am really glad I choose the maple and cherry combination for the cabinets.

    Here we go into the family room. This is the room we all hang out in. We have the fireplace and the 56" TV. I love this room. Yes the walls are all painted dark brown and i have dark red curtains and brown leather furnitre and all the table are dark as well. I love the warmth of this room.

  • :sunny: Wow, what a beautiful home you have, but where are the kids in the photos around the tree mugging for the camera?

    We had a very quite Thanksgiving here, alone this year, family are not believers and we are exausted trying to be nice when they in turn look down on us and our beliefs. Oh well their loss. It isn't the same anymore. Lost my father 31 years ago, Mom is 78 and loosing her memory, my sister is a PILL and my brother walked out on his family 5 years ago (mid life crises) the day after Christmas! Sounds like a Country Song dosen't it? Just need to add I lost one of my best frineds my little dog Chester a couple of years ago to kushions deasease. I turned 50 in October and wonder where all the years have gone. I do love Christmas, it reminds me when I was a child and the GOOD times we all had, before they all went nuts on me! Ha!

    Anyhow, love ya girl and have a wonderful holiday with your kids and any family!!!!!

  • :sunny:A country song eh! Lets see...(guitar is strumbing) my life sucks everyone is gone, all i got left is my pick-up truck! my sister still loves me but only cause she cant see (shift in the beat upward) That i'm A GREAT BIG PHOTOGRAPHER THAT KNOWS HOW ITS DONE! I DONT USE THOSE LITTLE BITTY POINT AND SHOOTS THAT MAKES EVERYBODY RUN! i use my aperture and sometimes a filter and you can beg and scream but i'll never use a pod my hands arent shaky and my eyes quite good if you werent and idiot i wouldnt be so misunderstood!

    Well theres the first verse...lololol

    PS Thanks for great comment on our album! :love:

  • Hi Sandy,  Thank you so much for the kind words on our BLOG.  You have no idea what that means. I am a BIG fan of Lisa Jane, she really inspired me years back.  I always loved fairys and stuff like that.  I actually had the pleasure of meeting her in person ealier this year at the WPPI convention in LasVegas.  I was able to go to her program and see her speak and got to know her better as a person.   Very nice lady, you can tell she loves what she does.

    Wow, I love everything!!!  Where do you store so many wonderful christmas decorations ...  It's all so beautiful.  I NEVER can find the time and was thinking about not putting my tree up this year; guess I better get busy.   I love Christmas too; it's just not the same as family moves away and without Mom who travels in the winter to someplace warm.  I love the image of the pond with the snow.  I'll have to have Scott take a picture of ours.  I havent't been able to get to ours as the snow is too deep for me to get back there.

  • :sunny:Hey Kerri..thanks about the renoirs, i love to paint but i hardly ever get to now! poor randy, he needs a good country song written about him...

    I actually have a huge storage place over my garage that i keep everything. and the pond is actually a pool! lol it looks like a pond with all the snow on it..hahha. you absolutly should put up your tree and lots of decorations, i love it! it puts me in the mood for christmas, a little music, candles and some red wine makes for a great decorating evening!

  • awesome images here. i love the blue car getting a cold! that is cute!
