Nester's Garland Show and Tell

The Nester is hosting Show Your Garland today and Trim the Tree Thursday, so I am showing my garland. I know that I am going to be an amateur at this garland, cuz I have been lurking at blogs and I see what is out there...but hey....I wanna play too! The garland I made this year is for on top of our entertainment center. It started with 2 $4.00 garlands from Walmart kinda "braided" together. Then I just added Dollar Tree ribbon and bows...red and gold ornaments and some pinecones and stuff from old flower arrangements. I just "stuck" them in there. The red bird was my mother's from years ago. I do have a small battery strand of lights. I don't care for them though. Hubby picked them up and they are LED. I prefer the "good ole mini's" but I am not going to complain. He bought them while I was sick and I appreciate his kindness. 35 years of marriage has taught me something girls!

The second thing today is this beautiful, fantastic and so fabulous Award from Charlotte. I am to list 5 addictions...oh boy, this could be opening pandora's box!

1. I must have ice tea every day, at least one glass.

2. I must wear earrings everyday, whether I am going out or not.

3. I am addicted to watching QVC at least a little every day! I don't buy, just watch....HONEST

4. I take at least one bath every day. You all know this one...I did a whole post of the wonderfulness of a bath.

5. hmmm, how about a fettish here??? I cannot stand burned out light bulbs. Nope, cannot have them in my home.

ok I am supposed to pass this on, but here's the thing. I have seen this award all over the place. SO, the first 10 commenters on my post today, if you would like this (and must I say, my total style of award!) for your gorgeous blogs...please take it as my gift to you. Let me know, so I can see what is "wierd" in your life...hey, you think I want to stand alone in this???

Oh, I can hardly wait to show you what I worked on this evening. I think it will have to be my Show and Tell this Friday. And, just because I am very excited about this, I would say I am about 95 percent done shopping! Woohoo!!! My cold is much better...decorating is done...well, you know, for right now and everything bought is wrapped. Cards are sent! Happy, happy am I! Wordy too! See what happens when I am out of sync for a few days...I have to make up all my words I missed those days. Ok, I'm done.

**Well, not quite...it is Wednesday evening...I took those dumb LED lights off and put real white lights in...redid the whole thing, added a bit more...you get the idea!**
