Twirl and Take a Bow Tuesday....the first one {of 2014}

by Robin

Welcome to Twirl & Take a Bow Tuesday! 

I'm so happy to be choosing the features this week! I sure hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas and have something fun planned for New Year's Eve! At our house we have a long standing tradition of snuggling in and eating take out Chinese food and watching movies...I'd like to blame our very tame New Year's Eve on our age but honestly, we've been welcoming the new year like that since we were in our thirty's!

In case this is the first time we've met, may I introduce myself?
(I'd love for you to drop by my little blog-home and introduce yourself to me as well)!

I'm Robin from All Things Heart and Home

I'm passionate about my home because it's a way I can show love to my friends and family~I'd love to hang out with you on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+ & Instagram~ let's encourage each other to find inspiration for what matters most...

Now, here are the features from last week!

13 Flashbacks of 2013

Have you ever wanted to go back in time to another moment of your life? 

I might consider it {my wedding day, all of college, the days when my boys were born}, but only if I could take the knowledge I've learned along the way.

However, I will say, there is one time of my life that I would never want to go back to...

                                                    middle school.

Once was enough!

So instead of remembering that, let's flashback to the best of 2013. These are our brightest projects of the year. We were making a few Miner adjustments all over the place!

How to Purge Toys with the Kids and Get Your Sanity Back

O Christmas Tree

O Christmas Tree, O Christmas tree,

How lovely are your branches!

In beauty green will always grow

Through summer sun and winter snow.

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,

How lovely are your branches!

From our house to yours....

have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter!

Merry Christmas! 

Twirl and Take a Bow Tuesday

We have family in town and it is wonderful. The Christmas music is playing, the food is out and there are so many gifts. Every day I am reminded of how blessed I really am.

Robin from Art is Beauty picked our features this week. Kudos to her...this is the busiest week of the year!

If you have time, please feel free to link up at the party. We wish you a joyous season of love and giving! 

      

Crunch Time...
Twirl and Take a Bow Link Party

It is crunch time...8 days until Christmas. My shopping is done, a lot of my wrapping is done, I don't make cookies (sad, but true), so technically that is done. 

The only thing I am worried about is half of our gifts for others haven't arrived yet. I am hoping that they will be here in time for our family. 

So, while I go check on them I'm going to let our co-host Tammy from Deja Vue Designs fill you in on the features she picked this week.  I hope you can fit some last minute inspiration into your crunch time schedule too. Enjoy the party!

Framed T-Shirt Art in 5 Minutes

Once upon a time there was a shirt.  

It was the cutest shirt this house had ever seen. 

And there was a boy, equally as cute, who wore it till the sleeves were a little lot too short.

"Deer" Friends...Twirl and Take a Bow Tuesday

"Deer" Friends,

Have you noticed the same thing I have?

Yes, he {my oldest son} is cute up there in his Santa hat and deer t-shirt...thank you!

But no,  that's not what I was referring to.

Everywhere I look there are artificial deer heads with long horns

         

…on everything

…in picture frames, over mantels, and on t-shirts

…painted, and sewed on, and cut out.

Twirl and Take a Bow Linky Party

Another Thanksgiving holiday has come and gone...all that yummy food and board games around the dining room table. I think my family played Chinese Checkers for over an hour. At one point there was a traffic jam in the middle of the board.

And now it is time for Christmas, although I think Christmas has been trending on Pinterest since before October.

I hope that you enjoy the features that the lovely Leslie has picked for us today. 

I hope you have some holiday inspiration {or any inspiration for that matter} to share with us at the party this week.

And I hope you do not run into your own {parking lot} traffic jams while scurrying about getting ready for Christmas.

Christmas Guest Room...No Frogs Allowed

We have this room.

It is over the garage and according to our blueprints it is called the "bonus room".

We call it something different though.
