christmas joy

once upon a time i begged you to make this a reality...incessantly in real life & also{here}. benny decided to make my doodling dreams come true and made me this chalkboard...little bit of chalkboard paint, white paint & crown molding makes for one thrilled little lady. thank you benny, you are the sweetest husband. here's our board all ready for christmas. i told ben yesterday, "don't you feel like you live in a fun house now?" {like a house that's fun, not a carnival house with mirrors}. and we do live in a fun house! i can't wait to doodle all over it, write sweet nothings, scripture, love notes, songs...i just smile thinking about it!

what else have we been up to?  oh well...just wrapping a mountain of gifts like little elves.  here were a few of my favorites...
ben's mom gave me a bundle of flannel, much of it being what i would call 'christmas plaid' and it is beyond perfect for making little fabric bows to adorn my packages. now if i could just get my hands on another roll of kraft paper i'd be in business!

i have more gifts to try and figure out than i estimated a week ago {which stinks}...i thought i was done! oh well...i've got three days right? {YIIIIIIIIIKES!}


hope your christmas season is merry & bright.  may you have blessed time in the presence of the King!

  2. The chalkboard is adorable but it's the plaid bows that are making my day! So very beautiful and the perfect finishing touch. I'm giving away a one month sponsorship on my blog and would love to have you join! Merry Christmas (a bit early)!
