Day 128 - November 5, 2011

Happy birthday Mom and Kendall!  They are lucky enough to share a birthday.  Hope it's a good one!  Kiersten and I made Mom a camera purse and I am really excited to hear her reaction as well as Kendall's reaction to her turquoise puffy vest with the fur hood.

I spent the afternoon at Hobby Lobby.  I could spend forever in that store!  I went for the intense purpose of finding Thanksgiving decorations.  I did find some cute things, which I will share with you tomorrow, but I got distracted.  In the Christmas aisle.  I know, I know.  I just complained earlier this week about passing over the entire Thanksgiving holiday in lieu of Christmas and here I am buying stuff for my tree.

I have wanted to buy all new Christmas decorations, but I have so many handmade items that match my colors of blue and light purple that I just can't justify the expense.  So after finding some cute new things today I am even more excited about the things I already have.  I am also going to re-purpose some other items and do some DIY projects.  (But if I could justify it, I found the absolute greatest tree ornaments in black, silver, and deep purple.  It sounds kind of morbid and Halloween-ish, but they were so absolutely gorgeous and classy and still just so Christmasy.)

I just had to buy a high heeled show that matched my tree.
Cute purple snowflakes, and even in the right color!
Loved the peacock feathers in this one!
