~Chicken Update, Christmas Lights, & Giveaway Part Deux~

Good morning my amazingly crafty friends!

It is just freezing here in TN, I mean it's cold even for the chickens.

My boys had a snow day yesterday and drove me crazy because it

was far to cold to even go outside, those poor boys.

I thought today I would share a couple family photos/stories.

A glimpse of my Christmas Lights outside...and maybe even a Christmas GIVEAWAY!

Oh and do not forget about the Gypsy GIVEAWAY HERE courtesy of

Provocraft and the Cricut Circle ♥

First of all my poor sweet chickens, you know chickens are fine

in the cold weather but the most common cause of death

in the cold is dehydration. To prevent this we all work together and take

shifts going out with warm water and changing the water.

*until we can get a water warmer* So I have spent the last few

days changing out water. I was so happy the kids were home to do it yesterday!

Here they are huddled under a heat lamp where

they spend pretty much day and night right now.

It was snowing on Sunday evening and I snapped this picture

it was 40+ MPH wind and -3 wind chill...so the pictures are not

perfect but i have my fingers left LOL

So happy hubby got the lights up before the storm.

You know we live out int he country and NO ONE puts lights

up except for us, but I can't help it. I am sorry but the kids love it

and by golly so do I! :) It might not be practical but it's fun.

I did notice 2 days after we put up lights the neighbor put one net light

on their bush, they have 3 girls I bet they were bugging dad for lights LOL

I had to share this last photo.

We went to a gingerbread house making party on Sunday afternoon

this is what my middle son Justice brought home.

Originally I had thought...well he is more mathematical so maybe the

creative side is with his brother....let me tell you how WRONG I was LOL

He sat me down and said "Momma, I had the PERFECT house, mom it was

so perfect, everything looked awesome...but then the crackers started to break

and I kept breaking cracker after cracker...so I decided...My house was

hit with a HUGE BLIZZARD and it blew the whole house down...

and you know what? A green gummi bear lived inside and he DIED..

see? There he is buried in the snow mom" then he giggled hysterically! LOL

Boys...oh sweet funny boys...they crack me up. I won't ever forget that.

Anyways enough of my gabbing today...are you asleep yet??

I am LOL

I have a fun little giveaway today....

I don't have a picture because I am so tired and it's dark. But it's

a fun little package of embellishments from the

Imaginisce Cottage Christmas line...perfect for Christmas!

Did you see yesterday they were giving away a Cricut Cake?

Better go check it out! :)
