Craftin' with sissy...

Okay, I planned a little craftin' time with my sister this past weekend.  I had an idea for a banner for her mantel.  Since I don't have one, I took over hers.  Andrea was so tired after a day of shopping, she went with it.

Check it out:

Fun, right?  This is the mock mantel decoration for Christmas.  Andrea is going to do a Thanksgiving mantel for real right now, but we were jumping ahead a little because I have Christmas on my mind.

 

 These little trees are inspired from one of my favorite bloggers Elizabeth Price from Seeing Ink Spots.  You can see her post here.

Okay, I just have to share my sister and my shopping experience.  I made her take some pics.

We have been totally cracking up over the Chanel no. 5 commercial featuring Brad Pitt.  I made Andrea take this picture.  Don't get us wrong, we are total fans of Brad Pitt ; ).

Also, we were playing a little while shopping, because I don't know about you but... what is going on with the style right now?  Seriously, I don't get it.  My sister and I laugh that we are officially old ladies because we just don't want to buy skinny jeans in melon mambo, summer starfruit, or gumball green.

Who wears this?  Ear muff feathers?  Really?  Last time I checked feathers seem light and fluffy.  How will they stand up to the elements? The beret has matching feather on top. For real!

Pat Benatar wants her pleather jacket back and so she can sing, "We are strong.."

The only strong part of the jacket? They really accentuate certain attributes up top.  Hey, I may want to buy one!  Also, next to the jacket were black pleather pants.  What???? I wanted to buy a pair and have my family dress up like the matrix for the Christmas family photo.  I could pair the pants with the jacket.  What do you think?

Okay, just have to add a real pic of us doing one of our favorite things: drinking tea.

Tee hee~
