Posted by MAKMU ta On Saturday, March 19, 2011

Spray paint is a girl's best friend!

Our home at Christmas

Posted by MAKMU ta On Saturday, December 11, 2010

There is the outside, which usually gets treated with wreaths and greens and ribbons.Even the powder room gets something...I must confess when it comes to our decorations we are hopeless sentimentalists...We love the old ornaments, which get re-used every year with glee.
