...ventures through life

wait, are you ten feet tall or were you strapped to the ceiling when you took this?

Abbey are you making that wreath from scratch? I'm impressed!

yes homeade - inspired by BHG :)  

now if i only had time to get the damn tree up!!  
("tree" as in ficus tree that gets the lighted honor for a second year in a row)

The Christmas ficus is outstanding.  I don't know why you'd even consider using any other tree.  No pesky needles to poke your feet, lots of space for presents, you don't have to throw it out or store it when the calendar says it isn't  'cool' to have an evergreen in your living room any longer.  I hate calendars.  I love ficus. I love lamp.

Nice!  The ficus tree made it a whole year!  I have considered doing the same sort of thing (non-pine tree Christmas tree) if you don't mind me stealing the idea?
