Rockin Gift Wrap!

It's Christmas Eve Y'all!

And I'm just finishing up wrapping!


Getting Festive! 

Hard Core!


I got the rock 'n' roll flare


I was riding on this vibe see

A lil Brit-Punk & a bit Van Halen!


Here's how  I did it

Started with a base of red plaid


Then I went mental with lots of tape


Remember last years VHS Tape Ribbons...

Made bows with them!


Delirious

Holographic Santa 3-D Specs!...

Thanks Amber!

Weeeeeeee!


Charli has her ugly sweater on!


Minimal giftwrap.

Just snarky enough for a work party!


Van Halen might be playing in the background!


Making a duct tape bow


Getting loopy


Level one


Level two and it's a blurrrrrrrr

Just like the passage of time before the holidays! 


Level two complete.


A Little Center Loop and you're done!

Typically I think there's usually a third row before the center loop goes in...

But this is Rock n' Roll...

;-D

Put on some Rock Music!

Get your Gifts Wrapped!

Make It Rock Out! 

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO

Laid them out to make sure they'll do


Wrapped them in the fine wire

An accidental star in the center!


Faux greenery 


Wrapped up with floral wire

Thanksgiving 2015: Aftermath Food Coma-Rama!

Time, Time, Time...

Has been in short supply!

So many fun projects in the works! 


I found this "Clear your mind of Can't" on the Pinterest...

Seemed appropriate for the amount of running around that has been happening...

:-D


Getting to the Holiday Decorating...

Taking down the Summer Curtains...

Found a moment to steal in the sun... 

Then these guys showed up lol...


Charli Girl says, "So What! Still nice out..."

Point well made.

Later that night, the holiday lights I strung...

Didn't even work...

LOL always test them before ya string em...


In the blink of an eye...

Boom.

Thanksgiving Morning.

Iced Tea, a Dog and Staying out of the way of Hubby who was cooking up a Storm! 


Explaining to Charli what was going to be happening this thanksgiving...


My Studio...

Has seen a lot of changes this fall...

I think I'm getting closer to making the change-over to Dining Room easier! 


I thought by Tuesday night I'd be this far...

LOL 

Nah. Think Thanksgiving morning.


Ok! 

Getting there! 

And just a couple of hours before people started arriving X-D


It was a whirlwind...

People came & ate...

& Lingered...

Good Times Had By All!


The Morning After 

Hydration...

Gluten free pumpkin bread from Trader Joes...

& Iced Coffee!!!!!!!!!!!


This would be the perfect shirt....

Saw it on Pinterest... 

Of course!


Bunches of Lunches!

How can we even think of food??? 

After all that food!!!!

Open faced sammich of the Turkeys with the Ketchup!!!!!!!!! 

(This Turkey btw, that the Hubby cooked... Amazing! I don't know how he does it, but the meat literally fell off the bone!)

On rye! 

One of those chunky homemade Rye breads... 

Yum!


Root beer float time! 

TRADITION! 


From last year...

I can totally get behind this...

I mean, how often do you just have root beer in the house & ice cream?

& letting it go to waste is not an option! lol


We sat.. 

Watched movies...

Kept blankets, pets and potato chips close! 

Best Day After Thanksgiving Evarrrrrrrrr!


The morning after the day after...

Still lounging... (for now)...

Lingering in bed with the buddies...

Getting motivated... 

To do something like clean and organize ;-) 

Looking forward to getting back to our version of normal...

Hopefully your Thanksgiving times were full of... 

Wild amounts of food... 

Friends, relatives, and chaos! 

And enjoy these after moments worth stealing!!!

Grab a blanket...

Grab some leftovers...

Make time to come out of the celebration coma! 

MAKE SOMETHING!!!

XOXO
