"And in the meadow we can build a snowman..." Featuring the December De(c)ocrate & CIRCA

In the days before I left for my little Christmas getaway I took this photo and had it all edited and ready to post when life jumped up and got in the way and I was unable to share it with you all. Since my return I have been dealing with health issues that have me feeling rundown and just blah! Today I decided to try and brighten my mood by coming into town so I could share this fabulous little scene with you all while the spirit of the holidays still fills the air.

It took me a few months to get into the boxes on Second Life that you can get for different things, and though I have tried a few at this point, I only have two continuous subscriptions at this point, including De(c)ocrate.  December's box was chock full of goodies for the Winter and they all happen to mix and match quite well with the Holiday Advent Calendar from CIRCA.  I hope you enjoy this scene as much as I do, since I haven't ever put my house back up!  Happy Shopping and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Home is where... Featuring Kaerri @ Swank, De(c)ocrate, Fancy Decor, The Loft and Scarlet Creative

This week has literally been FILLED with doctor's appointments for myself and for the kids, which means I have put over 200 miles on the car in 4 days and I feel like I haven't had a moment to sit and breathe! But yesterday brought great news in regards to my health, so that is a huge weight off the whole family's shoulders and now we can focus on the medical issues going on with the oldest boy. Having to go through all kinds of tests at 19 was not my wish for my child, and I am very worried because it was at the exact same age that my autoimmune issues reared their ugly head. Lots of blood tests, more heart tests and lots of shaken nerves and long nights has been the theme of our Fall. So with fingers crossed, positive thoughts and lots of cozy nights with the family planned for the next couple of weeks, is how we deal with this new hurdle. With that in mind, I started thinking about picking up a sign for the house, with a quote about family and I found the perfect quote, now just to find the sign or make it myself! The boys would LOVE that project on top of the floor next weekend! LOL

Home is where LOVE resides,

Memories are CREATED,

Friends are always WELCOME,

and FAMILY is forever.

And all of this made me finally put down a home on my land and started to decorate it again, which meant De(c)ocrate has become a part of my life, and OMG I got so excited when I got my first box this month and just had to incorporate a few goodies into this scene inspired by the GORGEOUS new living room collection from Kaerri, currently at the Swank event.
