Merry Christ-MOSS!

18 December 2008

Look what two bags of $1.88 moss from Walmart's floral section can do for a little natural holiday greenery:
a foam tree~I covered two for one on each side of my piano, and of course added my obsession of the season: gold stars.


In a glass jar with some little red balls from Target ($2/box!)
Pottery Barn has nothing on us, right?? :) Except for the idea of filling glass jars with moss and red balls. Such a pretty color combination. Thanks, PB!

Baby update: I'm dilated to a 3, and hoping this little guy will come this weekend, especially since my doctor is leaving town next week. So if I'm MIA all of a sudden, you'll know why. I am in major nesting mode and trying to get baby clothes washed and sorted, my hospital bag packed, the house clean, and my little girl over strep throat along with all of the other Christmas. Good luck with all of your last minute Christmas preparations!

  5. Get that little man out on the 20th! Then he and Lucy can have the same birthday! Did you ever think you'd have a baby at this time when you came to meet Lucy last year? I LOVE it!
