This Past Week

This is the before picture of the master bedroom. The walls were a sea green color and the carpet is maroon.
Here is the after shot...much better:). The wall with the bed on it is a Russian Olive Color and the rest of the walls are a Seasoned Acorn Color. The carpet is the same for now until we feel the need to pull it up and the curtains were what were left here and oddly enough I don't mind them so much as they match the bedspread and throw pillow perfectly.

The boys and I were busy also this week with christmas cookies. Since I am on a diet and do not eat any snacks between meals, making these cookies were somewhat of a challenge for me. I wanted to taste each one, but instead I gave them to the boys and they said they were good...so I guess they passed the test.
The sloppiest buckeyes you will ever see...but then this was done completely by Elijah and Caden:)

Tried a new christmas cookie this year since Im not a fan of sugar cookies. These are Pecan Shortbread Cookies.

And the usual....white chocolate covered pretzels. I found these cute christmas pretzels so that made it more fun to dip:) Elijah dipped the pretzels and Caden did the sprinkles.
What a hectic week....now onto the next week full of CHRISTmas celebrations.....just thinking about it makes me tired:).

Wow, Sandra, do you have self-control to not even "taste" those buckeyes! Wish I could have that much self-control..:) Also, your bedroom is beautiful!
