Playing With Sunlight {Doggie Toy Box}

I failed...

my Project 365.

I was so excited about taking pics each day and sharing them here on the blog.  

Well, life got in the way.  I'm a little embarrassed about it, but maybe I 

bit off more than I could chew.

So I'm going to scale it back and try one pic per week.  I think that's manageable.  

Each Saturday, I'll post a pic from that week.  I'm just hoping to showcase my 

growth and share it with you guys.

Here is this week's pic: 

I wasn't sure whether I liked it in color or black/white best.

Which do you guys like better?  Or is it a toss up?

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

Rocking Chair Memories {Project 365 - Day 12)

My grandmother passed away a little over a year ago.  One of the treasured 

pieces I received from her home was this beautiful rocking chair.

It brings back memories from such happy times.

Project 365 {2015} - Day 10 and 11 Coziness and Christmas

My day 10 pic is one of the coziest spots in our home:

I got this chair from a friend who was moving and couldn't take it.  I intended on taking 

it to school and using it in my reading area.  But once we got it home, I knew it was 

there to stay.  It matches with our decor and is extremely comfy and cozy!

My day 11 pic is our last sign of Christmas:

The hubs brought this poinsettia home from work before 

the holidays.  I love the deep reds (my favorite color).

Project 365 {2015} - Day 6 Knick Knacks

It's Day 6 of my first Project 365.  I found inspiration for today's pic in my bedroom.

I got this little knick knack from Hobby Lobby a couple years ago.  I think it's true 

purpose is to hold something fancy, but it just sits on my side table.  It's super 

cute and matches our decor.  Nothing deeper.

Does anyone else have these meaningless but cute knick knacks?  

Or am I on my on for this one?

Christmas Decor at Home {Part Two}

I snagged more pics of our Christmas decor!

I bought these vases and small ornaments from Garden Ridge.  

I was given the adorable Santa by secret Santa!

Here's a shot of the centerpiece without Santa.

Of course I had to try some more bokeh pics!

I couldn't help but take this one!  That shiny red 

ornament was just asking to get in on the action!

Do you have all of your decor up and ready for the holidays?

Christmas Decor at Home {Part One}

I love decorating for Christmas!  The lights, the stockings, the garland - all beautiful!  But my

 favorite - the ornaments.  It's something about the way they shimmer and shine on the tree.

I took this picture last year.  I found this Santa ornament at Kroger.  I know...
the most unlikely place! Its colors are gorgeous.  It even has a bell inside!

Something else I did last year were these artificial poinsettias.  I got the stems from Walmart.  

Each bundle came with the flowers, greenery, pine cones, and ornament balls.  Put three or four 

of them together and you have a beautiful new centerpiece or front porch arrangement!

What's your favorite Christmas decoration?
