Attention All You Sports Mom's

OK, it could be mom, dad, wife, husband, sister,
you get the gist...everyone knows someone who has a ton
of trophys, well I did ...my sweet husband.

He LOVES hockey! He played a lot of hockey growing up and
won a lot of trophys. For many years we would pack the
beloved trophy box around from house to house.

Every time we moved we would find them again. They
would rarely see day light...

who has all those shelves?... Until I saw this picture...

and I had a crafty aa-hhh moment...

I loved the house ...

and one of the players could easily have been my husband

a few years ago...lol. So I got him to pick his most

memorable/important trophys and we carefully

removed the labels from each of them.

We played with their lay out on the matting for a while and when we
were happy with them we double sided taped them into place.

I loved this picture for soo many reasons...

and now it is always in our living room..lots of memories for him

and it is a beautiful piece of art for us.

Sorry about the dark picture :(

Our New Years Table

I wasn't going to do a New Years table post... but....WHY NOT... after

all the fun of dressing the table...I would like to share it!

Every year for New Years we do a fondue...YUM

We use floor tiles on the table, under the fondue pots to protect

the wood, its funny but each year we adjust the set up

and the menu just a little.

It's so much fun hunting your house for a certain color or a

certain candle holder...the mixing and the matching.

We are up to 3 fondue pots now!

It was a byoc kinda party, (bring your own chair).

So much fun, we can't wait until next year to do it again!

Happy New Year!
