Snow...Snow...Snow...I heart it!!

The forecast for Christmas in Kansas City is calling for SNOW!! And lots of it. I am so excited. If I didn't have to work tomorrow I would definitely be out playing in it.
Today's weheartit.com search was...SNOW!! I think these are some of the prettiest images I have found! Enjoy!!











Two Poots want to wish everyone in blogland a Merry Christmas!! I love hearing from each one of you and can't wait to see what is ahead for all you talented readers out there in the new year!!

XOXO

Our Favorite BBQ is in a gas station!!

If you are ever in the Kansas City area, Two Poots highly recommends that you try Oklahoma Joes BBQ. Don't let the fact that it is located in a gas station deter you! I believe they win the prize for best french fries too! Anthony Bourdain recently wrote an article listing the 13 places to eat before you die and Oklahoma Joe's made this list! We are very proud!




We made it home safely from Texas early Monday morning! It was a quick trip but it was so worth it,with lots of laughter and catching up with family! I am now frantic trying to finish up all the last minute gifts I need to make! I don't think I will be getting much sleep the next few days! I missed you guys while we were gone. I feel like I have so much catching up to do in the blog world and I don't have much time. I hope everyone had a great weekend!! I will be back tomorrow with some pictures from our trip.

I Heart it Wednesday: Homemade Style

Happy Wednesday! Since I have done nothing but focus on finishing my homemade gift, I thought searching for homemade items on weheartit.com was appropriate! I found so many beautiful and fun things. Here are a few of my favorites:

This week has not been such a good one. Scotts car is having issues again and is back in the shop and Monday evening his grandmother passed away. She was such a sweet lady and will be missed dearly!! I will probably be away from the blog for awhile, as we will be traveling to Texas this weekend for the funeral.

I am trying to pack all the gifts that I can make while in the car so my sewing machine has been very loved the last few days. I am still going to try and post my tutorial before we leave. I also want to show a few more of the gifts I have been working on. I am very proud of them!! I hope everyone is have a fabulous week. Can you believe that Christmas is next Friday??? And how is this year almost over?

Thankful Monday

The countdown has begun!! I am trying to cram as much crafting time into my day as possible! But amongst all my crafting I got to thinking about all the things I am thankful for on this fine Monday!!

Today I am thankful for:

*home cooked meals
*a dvr full of christmas movies
*cold nights snuggled in our little home
*a wonderful weekend we had
*our three adorable cats



*Boomer, Babakeenya, and Betty Jo*
*still having 11 days to finish my gifts
*and finally coming home to find this waiting for me:



Handmade ornaments from the ornament swap!! After gushing over every ornament, Poot and I put them all up on their own special tree.


Isn't the tree cute? I love it!

How is your christmas preperation going? What are you thankful for today?

Be sure to check back this week. I had a request for a tutorial on the floral shirts I made! I will post it before the end of this week.

Our Weekend in Photos...

Friday:





*Scott suprised me with dinner at Extra Virgin, which has a pretty crazy menu but was very good. I tried beef tongue and will never have it again, but I at least tried it (gag!!). We then went to see It's A Wonderful Life, A Radio Play at Crown Center! It was a great suprise!!

Saturday:










*Lots of christmas gift making before heading to Crown Center for some ice skating!We rode the glass elevator at The Westin. I also consumed the biggest cup of joe!! It was delicious!

Sunday:


*Watched Scott perform the last reading of A Christmas Carol. Can you find me in the picture above??

It was a great weekend! I am off to try and finish a couple more Christmas gifts before bed!!!

How was your weekend?

Wishing...

*That I was curled up in this room for the afternoon reading!
*That my chili I had for lunch wasn't so spicy...I feel a tummy ache coming on!
*That the holiday season could slow down just a little!
*That my laundry would magically put itself away.
*That the lunch hour would slow down a bit. Why does it always fly by but the work hours drag?
*That I had more things crossed off my holiday gift list!
*That I had this

or this

in our backyard!

*That the pounds would melt off on their own.
*That they would stop talking about Tiger Woods everytime I turn on the radio or tv.
*That I lived closer to Leslie so that we could catch up on our lives and craft together.
*That is was Saturday so Two Poots could go:
