Merry Christmas!!!

Saw a cute t-shirt that said, "All my mommy wants is a silent night"....but I wish "Silent Night, Holy Night" reality for each of you!

Willow House wishes YOU a Merry Christmas!

May your fires burn brightly, and it be cool enough for a fire!  It currently is near 80 in Houston, but will be colder by Christmas!! :D

Merry Christmas from Me to YOU!

Insanity!

Ok, I'll be the first to admit I can be a bit impulsive.....or spontaneous, depending on how you look at it!  I am bad about starting a project and taking a long time to finish it because I am an idealist and I want it to be perfect.......hmmmmm....
So I had this dream last night.....(any Dr. Phils out there, feel free to analyze!).  In my dream, we were in this strange house, and the bedroom was literally covered in a small floral.....and I mean covered.  So in my dream, I began to peel it away, wondering how difficult it would be.  It peeled away so easily, to reveal clean and plain everything.....I mean everything was covered!  So in my dream, I continued to peel away, loving the clean, fresh feeling it was leaving.  And then BAM!, right before I woke up to the sound of the dog scratching on the door to want to come in, it hit me.  There was a very lovely molding around the ceiling of the large bedroom (I have that NOW) and there was a lovely, deep baseboard all around the floor ( I would love that NOW).  And it occured to me....."hey, if I take all of this off now, then I could do board and batten all around the room!" And then,   I woke up!
And I said to self...."NOW is not the time to take on a project right before Christmas and right before you have shoulder surgery!!!!!!!!!!!!!"......so what does this say about me, Dr. Phil????

Thought you might enjoy a DIY laugh today, just as I did.  I have PLENTY of DIY to finish up in the next six days, what about YOU?????

don't you LOVE great customer service???? Keurig's got it!





Recently I discovered that my Keurig coffeemaker had a crack in the plastic housing....so that's why I was getting coffee grounds in my coffee!!!!!!

I received this Keurig (this is the coffeemaker that makes one cup of coffee at a time, using K-cups) LAST Christmas from my kiddos.  It has a one year warranty.  GREAT, I will call them, although I am not quite sure exactly when the kids bought it last year.  Anyway to make a long story short, they have GREAT customer service and they are sending me a brand new machine.  I cannot tell you how impressed and excited I am!
Yay, for Keurig and their great customer service! Who have you had great customer service from?  We need to spread the word and shop these companies that offer good customer service to reward them for doing so!
