More Christmas Stuff Around Here

Recently I participated in a blog ornament exchange, where I got the Hawaiian angel. My exchange partner read much of my blog and learned of my Competitive Spirit, and also how I love tea. Surprise, she sent some tea ornaments, specifically for my Competitive Spirit. Believe it or not, Hubby is totally taken with these ornaments! I am too! I adore them!


Hubby has had a few different Christmas functions already. He had a lunch function with most everyone that works with him was last Friday. They had the gift exchange where you can steal a gift up to three times. Well, this is what he won.Hubby picked this jumbo box on the table...it was the largest one, much too large for the frog jester. Well, this frog just isn't the best gift in the world, so no one stole him from Hubby. Afterward the gift giver came and confessed himself to Hubby. He had gone to Ross and picked the ugliest thing he could find. Then he found the largest box he could find and put the frog jester inside. He figured that no one would want to steal something unattractive. He was right. But what he did not tell anyone was that he hid a $20 gift card to Starbucks under the back of the frog's shirt.

Now this is the first time I have put up this tree. I hung all the Christmas cards on it and threw Son1's reindeer antlers on top. I haven't even sent ours out yet! Hopefully TODAY. Put us on your refrigerator or on your lighted palm tree when we get to your house! If you don't think I have your snail mail address email me!

  2. I don't think he is so bad, either. When I saw him I knew Son1 would love him, and he does!

  4. I love your christmas card tree. Very original!! you should see if you can enter it into some type of on-line contest! I think the frog is pretty cool too! He reminds me of Mr. Toad's wild ride at Disneyland. Dad would just love him. The tea cups are pretty interesting too. You can make your own with superglue and a string and send them out as invitations to a Christmas tea party!

  6. Sarah,

    Now that is a silly question. You can guess where I got it... I got it at YARD SALE for $5. The one I really wanted was $250 through Skymall. Hubby's old boss had one and it was gorgeous. But for $5 at a yard sale...who could go wrong??? Now if you want one, and I see one, I will get it for you.
