My friend Rachael told me about these cute paper ornaments. I couldn’t wait to try them out. They are super fun and easy to make. I added my own spin on them by changing the sizes, stacking them and finishing it off with a star.
I think it is cascading awesomeness!

Stockings Were Hung on the Hutch with Care…
I have been under the weather (cough cough sniffle sniffle) so I have neglected my cleaning duties and have been blog hopping instead.
Blog Hopping = Going from one blog to another without rhyme or reason or a care in the world! It is fun and addicting so only try it with the utmost willpower!! (term I made up)
I stumbled upon Mommy Sweet Mom. This “sweet mom” has a fun linky called Things in My House Thursday. Isn’t that the coolest idea?!?! This will be a great way to hear some back story about the things most precious to each other.
In keeping with the Christmas season I am showing off our stockings. These stockings were handmade by my Aunt Patti!! Each stocking is personalized with the things we love… keep in mind that Patti had no patterns for these she is just THAT creative!
Hot Hubby’s Stocking:
Burger, fries and a soda from In N Out Burger. INO (yes, we love it so much we have an acronym for the place) holds a special place in our hearts, tummies and pocket book!
Baseball and mitt represent his love for playing baseball. He doesn’t watch it on TV just loves playing! I get to watch his studlyness for about an hour a week on the field… eye candy!
The cross intertwined with a “K” are his two greatest loves
My Stocking:
Ballet tutu and toes shoes… I danced my whole life and I was even going to minor in dance in college until I realized that recitals don’t go on a resume. I’m going to start up again at the Jr college in January… I’m sure I’ll be blogging about it.
Candy, oh how I LOVE candy. If I didn’t have this addiction I would be a size 3!
The cross and my Hot Hubby are things I adore… but in different ways!
Eli’s Stocking:
The snowman… Eli was an adorable 1 year old and a snowman is adorable… but not as adorable as Eli.
The car… little boys LOVE cars, though I think we will have to add a choo choo train to it now.
Baseball stuff… well Hot Hubby is hoping that his “mini me” will love playing baseball just as much as he does.
And for the finale… A picture of our stocking on the hutch (my favorite piece of furniture, thanks Mom and GG!). What’s missing? Cora Jane’s stocking. I wonder what Patti’s gift to us will be this year
Wasn’t this fun? You should do it too! Just go here and add your link 🙂
Santa Knows!!!!!
Dear Thief Who Broke Into Our Car Last Night Between Midnight and 6:30am,
Big Lids Too…
You may or may not remember about a month ago when I announced the adult size Surfer Lid would be coming soon. “Soon” came and went with the hustle and bustle of the holidays! Now I can say the adult Surfer Lids are HERE. And they are adorable! You all know how I love matching so this is right up my alley… hopefully yours too.

Homemade Christmas! Bows I Love…
Nissa over at Nissa’s Niceties was the winner of the first Eli’s Lids Giveaway. She also happens to have a great etsy shop, Luscious Little Treasures. Nissa sent me some of her adorable bows and I have been smitten!
Cora wore one on Thanksgiving…and one at our Christmas Party… Best of all these little cuties (the bows and the girls) look amazing with Eli’s Lids! See for yourself…
