Tidbits

Here's a random collection of things that have gone on in the last few weeks.

This is a tree candle we sell at work. This is what they are supposed to look like.

 This is what they look like if they sit in a window with direct sunlight. 

Aren't they so cute? We all love them. They look so embarrassed. A couple people have already claimed them. There was no way we were going to throw these away. They make me laugh every time I see them. 

On Thanksgiving I brought some gingerbread mini town kits to do after dinner. They come with five small houses so you can make a town out of them. They are nice to decorate because they are small. It's fun to see what everyone comes up with. Here is our little town.

Jason went a little funky and added a nice big tree to his roof. I was a little jealous. 

We decided my house had a mustache. A mustache or it's just influenced by the Swiss style. 

My candy cane roof shingles. 

I love Christmas. I love Christmas decorations. So I started pulling them out a couple days after Thanksgiving. I haven't had a chance to finish them and it's driving me nuts. Tomorrow night, it's happening. But while I was working on the decorations that day, I did something bad.

I beheaded a Shepard.

Every piece of my nativity was wrapped in bubble wrap and when I pulled a piece out of the box, he went flying. He hit the floor and "SHIII" came out of my mouth. I stopped myself because I realized it really wasn't appropriate to swear over a nativity. (or at all, but sometimes I just can't help it.)

But all is well, Sarah had some glue and the Shepard is whole again. Can't even tell I broke his poor little head off.
