My brother, John, asked about the pixie tree we mentioned in the last  blog entry. We had not included a picture of it. So, the next time Jeff and I went out for our walk we made sure to get a picture. Well, it appears that things have changed and the pixies have moved out and the gnomes moved in. They were not happy to see us. One of them came out and shook his fist at us and told us to get off of  his lawn. Yeah, those gnomes are bad news. When we find out where the pixies went, we will make sure to let everyone know.

 A bunch of us girls got together on Single Awareness Day (couples call it Valentines Day) to craft. And craft we did. Taking objects found at the Dollar Store we create works of art. Plastic & glitter art. And behold the wonder of the Easter egg trees.

We were invited to Renee and Heather’s birthday celebration at the Todai Japanese Buffet. Renee is Emily’s coworker.  Much eating and silliness was had. Jeff’s favorite dish was the teriyaki salmon. Since Emily went up to the soft serve four times we will say that was her’s.

During the snow storm of 2008 (See blog entries below), we were pretty much stuck indoors for two weeks straight. As cabin fever hit, I decided we didn’t have enough ornaments on the tree. And a crafter was born. What to do now? Put the glitter and glue away for another year? Oh, wait, Easter is just around the corner!

My mother was curious to see how I would decorate our new home. What with having a fireplace for the first time and all. Here are some photos of my holiday decor handiwork. I am already thinking about how I can expand on my Dickens theme next year…..
