Irish Christmas Tree

Do you have themed Christmas trees?

Travel was the theme for our last few years.

It seemed like an obvious choice 

to make our Christmas tree a Notre Dame themed tree this year.

ND has had an amazing, undefeated season

and now we're just chomping at the bit for the national title game on 1.7.13

#unfinishedbusiness

I have never decorated with gold before

but the ND theme forced me to and I love it!

Over our married life we have grown a nice collection of ND ornaments.

The boys were big fans of our new gold accessories.

I spent $5 at The Dollar Tree to bling out my tree.

 I purchased this thrifted afghan a year or so ago for $2 and it makes for a great tree skirt.

 Cheer, Cheer!

Christmas Art Show

I was really pleased with how my Christmas Art Show booth turned out.

This is my 2nd art show selling my accessories and I'm having so much fun!

Here's my booth:

4ft space

I provided everything and set up in under an hour by myself.

I got several compliments on the cheeriness of my booth and my chicken wire frame display.

*Tune back in later this week for a chicken wire frame tutorial.

 Come shop at the art show in Holladay, Utah 

or at Polka-Dotty Place etsy shop!

Happy Friday!!

The best parts of my week were:

1. We watched Notre Dame beat USC this week.

Now we just have 40ish days until the National Title game in Miami.

Go Irish!

2. I feel like I'm getting into a good groove with my washi tape stash.

I've been sealing my etsy shop packages with it and

I just sealed all of my birthday thank yous with it.

Yay for washi tape!

3. Oliver and Topher will snuggle anytime, anywhere.

4. I'm in L.O.V.E with my new tortoise shell glasses.

5. We finally celebrated Thanksgiving at our house on Sunday.

Cat Thanksgiving

 People Thanksgiving

What I Wore Wednesday

Well it's Wednesday, 

so that means you get to see my outfits for the week.

I've been documenting them for over a year

and it's really helped me to wear a larger variety of items.

I don't repeat outfits as often and 

I'm always looking for new combinations of clothes in my own closet.

I spent most of the week in my pj's because I was sick 

but here are the outfits that I did put together:

1. Date Night with Friends

 top - GAP

polka-dotted shirt - thrifted

necklace - vintage

jeans - Target

leopard flats - Bandolino

tortoise watch - Liz Claiborne

 2. Double Polka-Dots

cardigan - Limited

mustard & Polka-dot scarf - GAP (NEW)

mustard belt - Banana Republic

dress - TJ Maxx

tights - Macys

Booties - DSW

I wondered if the double dose of polka-dots might be too much 

but I loved them combo!

Brilliant Idea for Birthdays

I received a few birthday boxes 

and one stood out because it was filled with mini balloons!!

 My presents were gently tucked in amongst the balloons.

It was SO cheerful 

and my cats are still going NUTS for the balloons!

I'm sure kids (of all ages) would love to get a box 

stuffed with balloons on their birthday this year.

Mountainy Monday

Winter seems to be here to stay.

 Happy Monday to you!

Go Irish!!

CONGRATULATIONS to the entire Notre Dame team!!

Bros

My boys act like they are for real brothers.

They are a year apart and came from different mothers.

  I think they bonded over their tabby status so don't try to tell them they aren't bros.

   Brothers don't get their own chairs, brothers share chairs.

 We are a pretty great kitty family.
