My Employer

I work a couple days at week at The Pine Needle. Around eight hours a week I work unloading merchandise, fluffing the store and taking care of customers. We have many brides...and, if you are an upcoming bride, you may register on-line.

This was the employees at our Christmas Party the owners hosted at their home. I embroidered the shirts for the Christmas Season.

Workin' It

I think everyone agrees, the Obamas certainly "worked the inaugaration" to a tee! Love, love, love the pink and orange....my personal favorite...although, Charlie Gibson questioned it....I totally loved the detailed schedule and the assistant bringing the daughters through to the stage. It was so preppy!
I am totally supporting our President! (just don't take our money!)

Another Birthday...

These are actually "Hand Me Downs" from my daughter for my friend...(she ain't proud!) Well, the sweatsuits are and then I just added some cuteness. Happy 10th Birthday, Merrill!

Happy First Birthday!

A friend asked me to make a gift for a boy's birthday. This is what I did. Love to find cute things at WallieWorld. This 100% cotton turtleneck onesie is so nice for $3.50 and the sweats are a great orange for Auburn fans...the daddy played there. The towels were also $3.50 and had lots of cute colors...I bought the red and brown trimmed ones too.

Love Me...Love Me Not.....

Loved these two books...although a little late in reading them...Has anyone read Baby Proof?








Did not like any of these and was SO disappointed...Wanted them to be great...

Preppy Prize Giveaway!

Moose Chase

One of the fun things we did while out west was to snowmobile for 12 miles to the base of a mountain...the most captured peak pictured on calendars.

We encountered this cutie on the way up the mountain. I think more folks are killed by moose than bear. He is just returning from chasing a man from N.Y. on his snow mobile.

At the top, but you can't see the peaks in the background or the pond covered by snow. On the way down, we encountered the moose again, and he chased right towrds us again. I told the guide that I thought the moose was "planted" to get our money's worth!

The Crazy 60s?...

I was born in 1965... I bought season one of "Mad Men" and I am hooked. Okay, there is way too much smoking and drinking, but I love January Jones' character. She was just featured in Town and Country. I think it's the clothes I love the most. One scene, Betty Draper had on an embroidered top with seahorses that buttoned down the back, gorgeous and she was headed to the beach! (in her yellow preppy station wagon) This series reminds me of Bewitched. Darren even commuted to Manhattan from Conn. for his advertising job. Anyone else enjoy this series?

Dashing Through the Snow...

I hardly had time to blog before vacation, so it is so nice to sit down with hubby's laptop, sip coffee and peruse some of my favorite blogs. Hope everyone had a joyful, peaceful Christmas...one full of love and hope.
We are enjoying all of the fresh powder.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Preppy Christmas!...

Beavercreek Co. For Christmas! Merry Christmas to all!

Get Your Merry On 2....
