GREAT ideas to share....

Let me begin by saying, y'all are too sweet...so glad I've been missed!! It's fun to reconnect with blogging friends after a hiatus!


I love when I find great ideas to share, like so often I find in Real Simple magazine.  This blogger found and compiled some great ones...

Coring a strawberry with a STRAW?? Genius!

Which ones do you love?  I love the one with the tension rod hung under the cabinet to store the spray bottles on....what a great idea.  I just read one on Pinterest to run tension rods vertically to store trays and cookie sheets....good idea also.  I just LOVE smart, out of the box ideas.....what about you?

Happy New Year!!

Hi you three.....yes, the three of you that might still be reading my blog!!
I have not been a consistent blogger, and I cannot promise that I will be a LOT better, but my hope for the New Year, 2012, is to be a little more consistent with posting to my blog.  I didn't say everyday, but more consistent.  I think we all have changed our blogging habits since we first started, and mine certainly have.  How do you see that yours have changed?  And with so many bloggers now active on Pinterest........well, that certainly changes the game, too!
I am excited this year about my Willow House business...new catalog, new possibilities, etc.  I'd love to see my business continue to grow.  I will spend a good part of my days working on that.  You'll find me over at Pinterest, too......just can't resist all the pictures of great ideas, decorating, recipes, inspirations, etc!
We had a GRAND Christmas, even though we were finished with our family Christmas celebration by the time most of you were buying the food for your Christmas dinner!  It was wonderful having everyone here!! Especially having my granddaughter here!
For 2012, we look forward to adding a new grandbaby to the family at the end of March, we will add a new daughter in law to our family in June, and hopefully a new Vet school student will be on his way.....my son interviews for Vet school next week, and I pray he is successful in getting admitted.  It is SO competitive!!  2012 is a BIG year!  Hope it is for you, too!

my precious.........what a wonderful time!

Friday Fives!

How are your Christmas preparations coming? I have been busy getting my house ready for the family to come home.  My son graduates on the 17th, so everyone will be here for a few days after that....so essentially, I have to be ready for Christmas by next Friday!! AAACCCKKKK!!  Along with all the prep and finishing up Willow House business, too, I haven't had time to be on the computer much!  I haven't read a lot of blogs, nor have I posted to my own blog!  How does everyone else do it ALL???  I decided to come say HI really quickly and come up with some Friday Fives for you all!

So here goes!

1. What is your favorite Christmas carol or song?

2.  Are you finished decorating your house for the holidays?

3.  What is your favorite Christmas treat?  Do you make it or just enjoy it?

4.  What is a favorite Christmas tradition?

5.  Have you completed all your holiday shopping??

Hubby and I plan to shop all day tomorrow and hopefully get that part behind us....I have some busy hours ahead!!  Merry Christmas, y'all!!!
