Uh Oh! Call the Fashion Police!

You might as well turn me in so they can lock me up and throw away the key! Tomorrow (Friday) is our office staff Christmas lunch and gift exchange and I'm planning to wear a Christmas top. I gather from the comments left the other day that the What Not to Wear people are completely and totally appalled by things like Christmas sweaters. Guilty as charged, Officer! Stage an intervention! I unearthed it from the closet tonight and pressed it.

Okay, so maybe I do have my tacky moments, but I'm nowhere near as bad as this--am I?

This is a quick photo I got this a.m. of the yard with the inflatables that I mentioned. Of course, that's just the front row--there are more behind it, but my angle wasn't right and I was on my way to work. Oh look! I think they have room for one more right next to that snowman on the end! And I really like the motor home or trailer or whatever it is parked there on the left side. At least it acts to block the light at night from shining in the neighbors' windows! LOL!

By the way, Beth left a comment about a website called Tacky Christmas Yards--kind of a fun site if you enjoy a lot of lights and a lot of Christmas figurines.

And, since I like to make fun of myself as well as others, let's take a look at the ornaments on the tree in the Sweat Shop.

Can you see them very well? It's a barnyard tree! Here's a close up of a couple ornaments. And I KNOW Red Geranium Sharon is going to LOVE this one:

Moooooo! I just might make her a whole herd of cow ornaments! But there are a lot more of these on the tree:

Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a! Mostly white but a few black ones sprinked in, because everyone needs a black sheep or two in the family! I made these guys about 15 years ago, and I take them out every now and then. This year they're out because my renegade missing Santa apparently took off with the ornaments for the tree in the Sweat Shop! If he doesn't turn up soon, you may see him on the back of milk cartons.

And, while we're on the subject of animals, if you're a cat owner, you probably already know you can't put anything soft down for a few moments without the cat finding it--and claiming it for its own.

I was in the middle of putting the cushions on the kitchen chairs and had one left. I went to put something away at the back of the house and when I returned, there was Spike, up on the kitchen counter, laying on the remaining chair cushion.

Cats are goofy, aren't they? I'll leave you with this cartoon--which seriously looks like something that could really happen in our house! We can thank Anna for sending me some funny pictures including this one!
