Monica on Wheel of Fortune

Just wanted to let you know, my daughter, Monica, will be on the "Wheel of Fortune" TV show this Wednesday, December 14, 2011   It was so fun for our family to get to go to watch her tape this show in Hollywood.  Many years ago, she won the grand prize on "Price is Right" and was in the mob on "One versus the Mob"  She loves to play games and being on TV just makes it that much more exciting for her.

I'm always a proud Mom!  You go girl....live your dreams

Christmas Flight and a Wonderful Life

 

I have a dress form that greets guests as they enter my house so

I thought it would be fun to dress her up for the holidays.

I saw angel wings for costumes so 

that was my inspiration.

 Burlap Luxe happens to be one of my favorite blogs

so I purchased this "Merry Christmas" sign from her Etsy store.

 This angel with her vintage black lace apron

is ready to whip up some Christmas goodies.

Also, there is a musical vintage dress form at the entry to our living area and

she got her wings, too......Did you hear the bell ring?

After talking about angels getting their wings.....

I have to go watch the classic movie "It's a Wonderful Life"

"It's a Wonderful Life" is a 1946 Hollywood Christmas drama film produced and directed by Frank Capra and based on the short story "The Greatest Gift" written by Philip Van Doren Stern.

The film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man whose imminent suicide on Christmas Eve brings about the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody (Henry Travers). Clarence shows George all the lives he has touched and the contributions he has made to his community. 

 

It is a lesson for us all to learn to touch a life 

during this Christmas Season.

Have a Wonderful Life 

Merry Christmas

Dreaming of a Mantle for Christmas

 

I have been dreaming of a mantle since we moved in our house almost five years ago.  When I saw this mantle online,  I knew this was the look I am going for so I quickly added it to my husband's to- do-list.

But for this Christmas, I'll just have to use my imagination by hanging the garland on the candle sconces again this year.

It's a Wonderful Time of the Year!
