Helloooo Cookies . . . Gooodbye Diet

'Tis the season to be jolly . . . and if I eat all these Christmas cookies, I'm gonna look like the "Jolly Old Man" himself.

Gotta love cookie exchange parties, especially if you don't bake (and I don't, so I DO)

Enjoy the picture parade! Ho Ho Ho

 

Holiday Disappointment?

Yep . . .

I did it again . . .

I've disappointed my children again this holiday season!

How you ask?

They say one picture is worth a thousand words . . .

 Well here is that picture

 I know, your saying . . .

I don't get it . . .

What's the problem?

Well, it's the tree, you see. My children refer to it as the "anorexic Christmas tree". They hate it . I love it!

It does not require me to re-arrange the entire house just to set it up. Move one chair, and as Emeril says "BAMM", empty spot.

Add the glitz and glamor, and she purrs like a kitten!

Continuing Education at the Dallas Design Center

 

Today was spent at the Dallas Design Center working on the CEU’s I need in order to remain licensed as an Interior Designer by the grand State of Texas.  So while I was filling my head with knowledge in relation to sustainability, aging in place and color, I decided I would also share some of the looks on the various showroom floors.  Stick with me…I took a lot and I mean, A LOT of pics, and just couldn’t narrow down the ones to post. So, with out further ado, let’s get peeking!

 

This little beauty….

and the detail on the coverlet….purr

 

 

Drawer details….

And ohhhh…..the light fixtures…to DIE for…

and this yummy one…

and then the shoes….what girl doesn’t like shoes…(they never make you look fat)

I hope you enjoyed my little bit o’ eye-candy today. I had fun collecting it for you.
