Christmas Edition: How I Found My Style Sunday

Happy Sunday Everyone.  I am honored to be featured over at Pamela's From My Front Porch To Yours blog today.  She is doing a Christmas Edition of How I found my style Sundays during the holidays.




I was featured last year in her regular season of How I found My Style Sunday and it was super fun to do so when Pamela asked if I would like to be part of her Christmas Edition I of course said Yes!

Please hop over to Pamela's lovely blog and see some of my Christmas Decor.




As we move on into the fast pace of the holidays please take time to really enjoy the meaning of the season and loved ones.  We all get caught up in the hussle and bussle of the holidays but it is nice to stop and take in the true meaning of the season.
Have a great week ahead.  Have fun checking out my Christmas Decor over at Pamela's.  Please come back and let me know what you think.

Girlfriend Party

Some of you asked if I would share some pictures from my girlfriend get together last night.  It was a fun evening. Lot's of food, drink and sharing of our wonderful friendships.  I did not get a whole lot of pictures.  I get so busy with being the hostess I forget to take pictures.


Getting some of the yummy appetizers out.

Holy Crap Cupcakes!!!!


The greatest BFF's Ever!

Sara my daughters friend from college figured out how the do the timer on my camera so I could hop into the picture.  All of us girls together.  We wear jammies to this party to be comfy for the night.


My older daughter Jen in the middle with her two besties.  They all wore the same pj's from Target that said "These are my Party PJ's".  Loved how cute the three of them looked.

Not a whole lot of pictures but we all had a great evening together.
I look forward to this celebration of our love and friendships with each other.
We play lots of fun games, eat to much and have yummy drinks and the Holy Crap Cupcakes lol!
The gift exchange was fabulous.  The gifts all the girls come up with to exchange that benefit charities are so fabulous.  Sorry I did not get a picture of that.  There were gorgeous gifts that were exchanged.

Hope your week end is going great.
Come back tomorrow I have a Home Tour for Christmas I am participating in.  You can see some of my Christmas decor for this year.

Have a great week end.

Random Act of Kindness And A Merry Give Away



Random Act of Kindness
My favorite thing to do this time of year well actually all year long but especially this time of year. 
Just a random act of kindness doing something small or big to help someone else out in need.

Terry and I were out to dinner the other night and a young couple with 4 little ones was going over their Christmas list and talking about which up coming pay check they will use to buy gifts for the kids for Christmas.  They wanted to stick to a budget and not charge anything. The hubby was saying his next check will have his overtime on it and that is where they could find the extra money for the kids gifts this year.   I thought that was so sweet how they were figuring out where the extra cash for Christmas will come from to buy the kids something for Christmas. 

 So Terry and I paid  their dinner check.  Going out with 4 kids for dinner is not cheap and we thought to ourselves been there done that so lets help them out and pick up their dinner check as a random act of kindness.  This way they would have a little extra cash towards the kids gift buying. 

 They had the same waitress so we just had her give their check to us and we paid theirs and ours and left before they could know who paid their bill.  Just a nice random act of kindness.

So today I am going to do a little post on random acts of kindness.

You are all angels to me to come  read my blog posts and leave your sweet messages.  So I want to share some kindness with all of you.  So below you will see the little treasures I found to do a give away here today.

All you have to do is leave me a comment sharing with all of us an act of kindness you did for someone.  It is always heart warming to read the wonderful acts of kindness that we do for each other.

In the spirit of your act of kindness I will put your name into a hat and pull out the names.
 This is open to the United States only.  I wish I could open it up to all of you sweet bloggers from other countries but the shipping is cost prohibitive.  Hope you understand but I invite you to share your act or acts of kindness with all of us.  It just does my heart good to read all the generous and loving things that we do for each other.

Hope as you get your Jingle on with decorating, shopping, wrapping, baking you will take time to do some random acts of kindness. 




Here are the treasures I have found to have in the give away. 

I found this Christmas Morning Coffee last year to give each of my neighbors with some home baked Christmas Cookies.  They all told me it was the best coffee ever.

 So this year I found it again and want to share this wonderful coffee as a giveaway.  Below the coffee is a sweet book I found.  It is full of gardening ideas for example putting coffee grounds into certain garden plants help them thrive.  Very interesting read for the gardner's out there.  I found two of these for the give away.

This is seriously one of the best hot chocolate mixes I have ever had.  The salted caramel is so yummy.

This little cutie is a fur coat that you can throw in your purse or attach to your purse or key ring etc.  Inside is a cute little reusable shopping tote.  These are just too darn cute.

I have a few of these in different patterns as you can see in the first picture of the prizes.
So please leave me a comment and share your random act of kindness you have done and I will enter you into the give away.
I will divide all these treasures up to let more of you have a chance to win.  



Speaking of angels and kindness I wanted to leave all of you with the beautiful singing of O Holy Night by the Celtic Women.  Please take a few minutes to listen to this beautiful song.
Thank you sweet angels in blog land.  Enjoy.
