Fashion Time Warp...or, I really wasn't crazy!

I've had some good laughs reading through the comments for my last post. I knew that the 70's fashion might be a little vague for some of us, and that you younger gals might not be familiar with what was popular back in 1972. Often times fashion comes full circle...the early 70's, not so much.



So I thought I'd give a little fashion show from the time machine, just so some of the younger girls wouldn't think I had totally lost my marbles, or was some kind of "hillbilly gone wild"!




Phrases like "Prairie Dress", "Maxie Dress",
"Gunne Sax" and "Hippie Dress"
were used to describe the height of fashion!



Look familiar?



Now just add the apron!



OK, now I feel better!
Just didn't want anyone out there
to think I was alone on the planet...

"What were you Thinking"!




love ALL you guys,

Debra

What we did the day after Christmas...or "my feet are killing me"!

We still have the St. Louis crew here, so this is just a short post before we run out to have dinner, but I wanted to share this "oh so cute" photo of both of my sweetie pies in their aprons they received for Christmas. My sister enlisted the help from her son's girlfriend who is a great little seamstress to make aprons for my girls for Christmas. Erin and Keith entertain regularly so she will use it alot. Aly's pretty busy, so she will just admire hers, but I thought they were just the cutest, and even better they're reversible!



Erin and Alyson

We had a wonderful Christmas, and today like a bunch of dummies we went to the mall.(we did sleep in though...we not totally crazy!) It was "freeze your patootie off" cold, but we shopped until we literally couldn't get anything else in the trunk. Oh how I love my girlies, and we always have so much darn fun.



New RL boots that we all three just had to have.

The guys spent the day at Bass Pro and Best Buy. Springfield is the "Home" of Bass Pro, so it has a monster store which takes up two blocks. It's tons of fun, though, but you really have to have on your walking shoes.









OK, we're off to have Greek food,
 hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!

Let Heaven and Nature Sing


"...we saw His star in the east
and have come to worship Him."

Matthew 2:2





This was our 2008 Christmas Card. When I found it in the store I burst out in tears, It spoke to me like nothing else.
All Heaven and Nature Sing... Even the animals adore Him and join together in peace and harmony to give Him Glory!

(click on the card to see all the variety of beasts,
I would have loved to see a lamb in there)

You are all in my thoughts and prayers!
Have a Heavenly Christmas!

Back Door Christmas

I spend a lot of time looking out my kitchen window.
I guess that's even more true,

 with all the busy hustle and bustle in the kitchen
over the Christmas Holiday.

So I wanted to have a "Back Door Welcome"
for Christmas, too.
It had to be "snow and waterproof",
as we are expecting a "White Christmas".



My little "Goosey Gander" says...



Merry Christmas!

...and He's really glad we're having HoneyBaked Ham!



I'd like to invite you to stop by my
Bible Study Blog

 Also found on the side bar,
 for a little more spiritual thought about Christmas.

Christmas Blessings,
love,
Debra
