I could THINK of stuff to steal but most are in the "cages" http://https://www.acherryontop.com/forum/https://www.acherryontop.com/forum/images/smilies/smile_wink_a_16.png http://https://www.acherryontop.com/forum/https://www.acherryontop.com/forum/images/smilies/smile_wink_a_16.png http:/...

I would love to join you! Crossing my fingers that I can

 I wish they would develop a self-cleaning floor...both carpet and hardwod that the dirt and crumbs and spilled milk would just disappear

...Guess what I'm doing today??? 

 Our household does now...has since I left work in July and THEN the discovery of Dave Ramsay's TOTAL Money Makeover {Thanks Sandy!}  We have pai off several credit cards, I think by the end of the month we will be done with a total of 4 accounts with ZERO!  balances...And THAT's with half our norma...

 I actually "branched out"  pardon the pun and bought an artificial and it is strictly red, white and blue patriotic stuff...I love LOTS and LOtS of lights!  The tree isn't packed but balanced...then we have a HUGE cut tree that has the "family" ornaments, the stars and snowflake...

I have no idea what kind it is that dh gets at the Boy Scout tree lot but it is one of the biggest that they have (we have cathedral ceilings in th eliving room and he MUST fill the space)  But I hate to wait to decorate so this year I bought an artificial pre-lit tree for the family room downstairs...

 I'm an extended wear contact lens wearer and have been for years...I did take a break from contacts about a year ago but there in nothing as convenient as waking up and being able to see...I would LOVE lasik!!!

 yep...one for everyone of the family and one for each of the dogs too...We don't have a "mantle" on the fireplace so I hang them on a basket hanging rack thing and put that in front of the fireplace

 awww...I feel for you girl.  I have four kids and sometimes would welcome the "illness" at the same time instead of one at a time and stretching it out over weeks...UGH!

 Concentrate on the grandbabies...let those big "kids" know what you are doing (so they aren't surprised on Christmas eve) and explain the change in tradition...

BTW, LOVE that tradition! 

 Happy Thanksgiving and travel safe!!! 

 Welcoming the Christmas season with Santa's arrival on the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade...its a tradition that I have passed on to my kids

 love them! 

 I agree...no smaller than 6 x6 but 8x8 is a great size to play with!!!

 Kewl!  I will be forced to clean up my scrap room from the crop.  My ds has a birthday party to go to today, so as soon as we go to Toys R Us to get Drake his birthday gift, and I wrap the gift, and make a card then I can start cleaning up!! It's a disaster.  I'm quite sure I have the messiest (is...

 dh putting a cup of coffee on my nightstand  and a "good morning mommy" from my youngest  

 Tis the Season!!!

 I cring when I hear "Christmas Shoes' but I digress... My mother is a self-proclamed Christmas Nut...she now has 8 trees to account for in her home and not little trees, 8 footers...all with a different theme, office has Patriotic, Kitchen has cookie cutters and gingerbread, etc.  Her newest o...

 It is soooo good!  Now I wanna go again for the birthday I have coming up here soon...Never Mnd, I'm going to see Jeff Dunham, how could I forget?! My suggestion is get a combination dinner so that you can try dipping everything (at least once)...  The one we went to couldn't do enough for us withe...

 Oh yes, the smile is a total match!!!
