And the Holiday's have started...

This weekend we put up all of our holiday trees. The giant one in the dining room decorated in blue and silver. The small black and white tree in the foyer. And finally the multi-color tree in the living room. I was feeling pretty holiday here, until I went to my mom's house Monday. She literally has every room in her house decorated. There were little peeking displays everywhere. So very holiday spirity. I need more holiday decorations I think. lol.

Today I got an almost irrepressible urge to make paper chains and put them all over my house, so I think I am going to. I will run to Michaels tomorrow for pretty paper and go crazy for the Holidays. :) I'm in a very holiday mood.

I bought myself two new holiday cd's this week. I got the new Annie Lennox, which is great if you like Annie Lennox. I also found the Cyndi Lauper Holiday album which is not new and I didn't even know existed until I found it at half-price. The clerk checking me out was totally jealous of my find...lol. Sometimes I feel like a bad witch because I just love christmas carols/music.

I think I have holiday fever too. The holiday spirit seems to be overflowing this year. I say WOO HOO! Rock on! Let's all get crazy making paper chains and stringing popcorn! It's like a sugar high... only with glitter and Bing Crosby ;)

Did you just say Cyndi Lauper has a holiday album?? I think I need to go shake down someone at Best Buy and find it. I LOVE her!

I've been bitten by the holiday fever bug but have so very few decorations. It's time to get crafty and pull out the glitter! :D

I love Christmas music too. Mostly the instrumental or the "good old boys" like Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra. I would probably love the Annie Lennox one - she is amazing!

Practical Magic and my very first Giveaway

Image
"For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in town." ~ Alice Hoffman, Practical Magic In preparation for this blog party I decided to reread the book Practical Magic  by Alice Hoffman. I remembered loving the book because the magic that they described was so much more natural than "supernatural". It always seemed so much more real to me. Everything was more subtle and I could relate to these beautiful, strong women.  Reading the book anew I fell in love all over again. The aunts eclectic nature, taking in their nieces even though they never married or had children. The black cats haunting their home. The late night visitors. The orphans who grow into two different, but very similar women. Sally's beautiful daughters who have their own problems with the Owens name. The men who fall into the women's lives. Jimmy the corpse.  The book is so beautiful that, even tho...

So welcome to my party. Grab a butterbeer ( Killian's Irish red with a shot of butterscotch shnapps) and enjoy. Welcome to our home.  A barrage of bats on our stairway wall.  Your illustrious host. I'm a saloon girl.
