Crosses

I love the cross.  I think they are so beautiful, not only for what they symbolize to me as a Christian, but the design of them.  Here are a few I have around me.

This one is in our bathroom.  I wanted something a little different, after Hubs remodeled this room.  I have several wrought iron wall hangings, but this by far is my favorite.

I have a couple in my office at work.

Of course there are always the one's The Boy made in Sunday School.  This is his favorite and I'm partial to it also.

Now my total favorite cross in the world would be this one.  My bestie Julie gave it to me one year for Christmas.  Not only is it a cross but it has my favorite hymn, Amazing Grace, on it.  I love love this cross.



Sky

Wow what a sky.  I was on my way home the other night and this is the picture that was painted for me.

The most beautiful picture's one can see are in the nature. I love to look at the sky. 

Of course these were both taken with my phone and through the car windshield.  I still think they are wonderful.  Love the colors.



New Do

I decided I really wanted to do something different with my hair.  I have had short hair, long hair, bleached hair and really dark hair.  So I just let my friend Sarah work her magic.

I went from this.

Sarah kept the work in progress from me until the very end.  I really had no idea what I was going to look like.  She just told me she was going to do something a little different and the color would be darker and chunky.

So I ended up with this

Wow what a difference hair color can make.  I really like the dark color.  I'm thinking of going all over dark next hair appointment.  But that will be a few months down the road.  I will probably have changed my mind by then.

Fun Monday// Christmas Shopping

Julie is hosting fun Monday's for November.  Today's topic is.

When do you start your Christmas shopping? On Black Friday? Cyber Monday? And, who is the hardest person to buy for?


Wow!! I usually start trying to get in the Christmas spirit by Thanksgiving.  I start to shop around on Cyber Monday. I have no problem getting what gifts I want.  It's just not a challenge anymore.  All of my family, makes a Christmas list.  So I know what I'm getting for each of them.  I will be done shopping by the time I go to bed tonight.  Hopefully this will ring true this year.

The hardest person to buy for would be my dad.   He has everything and what he doesn't have and want I would never be able to afford. (Wheatherby rifles) So he is my challenge.  It's usually a gift card from one of his favorite stores.

I also have a husband who has a birthday in December.  The 20th so it's a challenge to get Christmas and his birthday and not combine the two.  I think we have it all planned for this year.

Decorating for Christmas

Black Friday, is when I usually decorate for Christmas.  Why? Because I don't like the crowds, the sales are not worth the crazy madness that is going on.  I would go out just to people watch, but not many of my friends want to get out at 3am to do this.  So we usually decorate.  Well this year, my elves (The Boy and Hubs) did all the work for me on Wednesday.  They were going to just get all the decorations down from upstairs.  I came home on Wednesday evening to this.

Oh how excited I was.  I could not believe my eyes.  Not only did they get everything down, they put it all up.

My whole Living area is done.  I just couldn't believe it.  How I love my guys.  What a wonderful surprise.  Now what would we do on Black Friday?  Well I spent the day looking for some good snack food recipes, while my guys spent the day deer hunting.  We all had homemade cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate, when they came in. 

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  If you went shopping on black Friday, I hope you got everything you were after.

Favorite Beauty Product

Fun Monday. Julie is hosting Fun Monday's for November. Today she writes our assignment.


The topic for November 22, 2010 is - What is your favorite beauty product? And Why?




Wow!!! I love Beauty products, where do I start. Oh wait I will only pick one.



Last year my hubs, The boy and I all went to the big city for the Ranch Rodeo. We had a whole day to do something in. We went to the big mall. I like to look at all the new products, and see what I may need. The sales lady talked me into getting this product. I really didn't expect it to do anything she claimed it to do. I have been burned so many times by the sales pitch. I think I have gullible written on my forehead. So anyway I bought the product. I used it that night and have used it everyday I wear makeup. I have to say I love it. I'm so glad I listened to that little sales girl.

My favorite beauty product. Smashbox Jet Set eye line in black. It comes with this great brush. The reason I love this product. It doesn't come off until you take it off, with eye makeup remover or some kind of makeup remover. I mean it last through tears, it's still there in the morning if you sleep in it.

I can't wait to hear what your favorite beauty product is, maybe I will find something new I need to try.

Busy Week//Day

I just set down to write a few lines and realized it's been almost a week since I have posted anything.  Is that bad?  It's been a busy week, today has been just crazy busy.  I haven't felt myself all week I have an ear and sinus infection, so my world feels a little off.  I haven't worked out almost all week, wow I have to get back on that tomorrow. 


Today was our church's Thanksgiving Dinner.  We had so much food, isn't that the way it is such good cooks make an over abundance of good food.  I took hot rolls, pumpkin poke cake, pumpkin muffins and wild rice stuffing.  I have to brag on my hot rolls.  They all turned out great.  I mean I can make bread but it's never been this good.  Not for sure if it was the yeast, the temperature outside or just that I took my time.  Whatever the reason I hope to continue to duplicate it.

Our church hosted Ministerial Alliance this evening.  What a wonderful feeling when all the community churches can come together and worship.  I just have to say I love my church and all the people that attend.

Have a wonderful evening.
