Crafting at the Neus.....

Libby, who is uber creative wanted to make these really cool boxes from shoe boxes.... We went to thrift stores looking for leftover wallpaper rolls and asked friends for shoe boxes...we also found knobs at the thrift store, a whole bag for 50 cents! We went to Lowes and found this really cool leather looking wallpaper for $5.00 a roll. So, with our $7.00 investment, we took the challenge and made these really cool storage boxes for her closet! They turned out so cute! We had a lot of fun and the whole family got involved!



Here is the finished product:

Our Annual Christmas Shopping Trip.......

We went on our Mother-Daughter Shopping trip and invited another mother and daughter along! We started out at 9:30 and headed to the Mall of Millenia and then around 3:00,made our way to Ikea. We met up with the other girls.....and spent several hours there... and then made our way to HuHot by the Florida Mall...

We had a great dinner and then headed out to a few more stores and then back to the Hotel. We unloaded all our stuff and then headed out to the Pool deck for some munchies! We brought them back to the room and pigged out! The onion rings made me sick, but that was my fault, because I knew I shouldn't eat them and after my Libby's please of mercy to not eat them..I did it anyway! They looked sooo good!

and it was so not worth it..... but I took it in stride and plowed my way through Orlando the next day!

We had wonderful fellowship, and good memories were made....and Libby and I stayed up til 2:00 wrapping! Our cohorts were fast asleep while we worked late into the night!

We got up, had breakfast and headed to Old Time Pottery, The Florida Mall and then World Market, Michaels and at last...Whole Foods!! oh yeah! Where I bought lots of Gluten free snacks and Gluten free cupcakes! They were so good!

We got home about 5:30 and passed out! It was so much fun and we are 95% done Christmas shopping!

Starting to save in November of last year, for Christmas this year, was such a blessing to our family.... We have done that for many years and I encourage you to try it if you haven't!..... well...the holidays are upon us and now we get to slow down and enjoy them.... We invite you to come along with us as we share what we do for our Holidays...blog style...
keep checking in and we will keep posting.....

Happiest of Holidays to you....

Whats been going on...

Not a whole lot has been going on around the Neu house..Just the same old things that we do day in and day out.....

here is an update on the members of our fam:

Joe has been working hard at work...He has even had some overtime.He has been taking Libby driving and rescreened some screens so we could open the windows. Joe and Libby have enjoyed Geo-caching.... He has cut the grass, taken the trash out, surfed the web, considered playing soccer (oh no!) and I am sure alot more things have been happening too.....He celebrated his 44th birthday last month and Libby reminds him regularly that he is getting alot more gray....
Tammy (me) I have been cleaning the spare bedroom, got to work at Boutique for a week (how fun!) had a game night with some friends, Christmas shopped online, grocery shopped, got my hair done, went to Aldis which just opened, made phone calls, made appointments, did some reading, changed our diet, eating better....and because I went to my hair dresser today, I have no more gray showing (oh yeah!)

Just a friendly neighborhood reminder that if you missed the November sale, you're in luck, because they will be holding their next sale in February! The week of the 22nd! You don't want to miss it!

Libby-Libby's life is so much about school...she does school almost everyday, cleaned her room, groomed Emmy, did her chores, played guitar, made phone calls for Resolved, helped Praise with the twins, sewed lots of cushions, went yard saleing and got a wonderful mannequin that is wire...you unsnap it, put it on and it fits to your shape so that whatever you make will be the right size..sooooo cooool!

so there you have it...all the boring facts about what really goes on in the lives of normal boring people....

wish there was more to tell you...but theres not! Hey, atleast I remembered what we have done..although, I did have to think alot about it! Life is good, all is well, and we are blessed...

what more could we possibly need ;) God has been very good to us......
