A Merry Little Christmas

December 28, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

I was determined to have a stress-free Christmas this year and I actually pulled it off! I lost about a month of prep time due to the asthma-attack-from-hell so I just scaled back my expectations. So what if the tree wasn’t decorated until two days before Christmas. It’s still beautiful: I didn’t put out every…

Winter Wonderland Tag

December 20, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 1 Comment

My daughter is hosting a Winter Wonderland Tag on her blog, Retro Housewife Goes Green so I thought I’d play along.  Favorite thing about winter?  Christmas is one of winter’s few redeeming qualities. I truly dislike being cold and I miss long, sunny days but Christmas is a true bright spot. I love to decorate…

Farewell, Christmas…

January 8, 2013 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Just a little tour of our house decorated for Christmas: It’s funny what you see when you photograph or video tape your house. It probably looks a little cluttered to some of you. Part of that will be gone when I put away the decorations but the truth is that, despite the fact I like…

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 27 “Night Time”

December 28, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

We always leave up our tree until Chris’ birthday on January 10th. I’m always a little taken aback when I hear that someone has taken their tree down on Christmas day or the day after. I mean, to each his own but I enjoy the tree and decorations most during the week or two following…

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 22 “Tradition”

December 23, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

We celebrated Christmas today with our kids because this was the time everyone could be here. It isn’t the day which is important but being together. Chris and Kadi came over in their pajamas and then Lisa and Justin showed up shortly after. We had our traditional Christmas breakfast of homemade waffles, bacon and mimosas….

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 21 “Peace”

December 21, 2012 By Deanna Piercy 3 Comments

Aren’t those peace sign ornaments absolutely perfect for me? I was already thinking about leaving up the Mardi Gras colored garland year round and now with the peace signs, it’s settled.  Ya gotta love it when friends “get” you:

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 18 “Stocking”

December 19, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Close to 20 years ago I bought four of these handmade stockings at a little shop here in town which isn’t around anymore. You can’t tell from the photo but it’s really big. When Lisa married Justin I took one of these stockings with me to a fabric store and since I couldn’t find anything…

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 17 “Presents”

December 18, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

My Christmas shopping is essentially done but I’m waiting until the last orders arrive before wrapping anything. I like to do it in one fell swoop. Fortunately for this photo challenge, these three little gifts arrived in the mail today. Perfect timing!

Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 11 “Green”

December 12, 2012 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

Red and green are the traditional Christmas colors and I’m pretty traditional when it comes to Christmas. I do, however, use more of a burgundy rather than bright red, in part because I have burgundy velvet drapes in the family room. And we have dark green carpet so the room is well-suited for Christmas.  I…
