I usually wake up around 6:15 p.m. get up take a shower and get dressed for work. I leave the house around 7:00 7:15 so that I can do some errands before getting to work at 8:00.

I go to the video store often on the week that I work. Seven 12 hour nights working are made a lot better by watching TV shows on DVDPC010219
I am at work now and this is Larry he is one of the two men I take care of…basically I just make his snack and make sure the guys are safe through the night…do some light cleaning ect…

Here is a shot of how things might look at work. This night I am making cards for a Christmas card swap, watching a show on my portable DVD player and doing some stuff on the computer. I’ve also been making a lot of ATC ect at work lately.

I am not that happy with how the pictures came out but I just couldn’t get the lighting to come out right or something. Regardless they are pretty.

This is a tree of nativity themed ornaments. I got this set from JC Penny in 1999 (I was a senior in high school) it came in a beautiful box and I just love them. What is usually on the tree are candle holder things.

I got this cool translucent nativity at a thrift store…I am thinking about putting lights in the bottom of the bowl to see how the light comes through

Table behind the couch. I tied an ornament I got from a swap to the lamp and really like how it came out.

When you first come in the front door, the green thing holds the dog treats.

My nativity set, I like the fluidness of the lines, and that there are no faces

The entertainment center
PC080345
Little Bits area, is right next to the entertainment center, I wanted to hide the outlet behind her bed so I hung a fabric covered bulliten bored there, I think it makes her look like she had a room with a little picture.

This is in the corner of the living room, suitcases stacked with a tree in a pot and a lamp ect…

Well, I am sure that is enough…Hope you enjoyed my bland day and Christmas decorations. I am enjoying this Swapbotting thing *smile*
