Giant Gingerbread Houses

There really IS no place like home! I know, I know. We were only 4 hours away from home AND we only stayed 2 nights, but I can’t tell you how happy I am to be back in my own home, with my own bed, my computer, my cats….you know, the important stuff.  I logged in quite a few good shopping hours while there. Want to see the beautiful Christmas displays that were in the mall?  Check out these giant gingerbread houses!

I just love me some Christmas gingerbread/candy houses, although I’m sure those were made of styrofoam or something more durable.

And you know you’re on the coast when you see moss dangling from the trees. Check out this HUGE, GINORMOUS tree in my aunt and uncle’s yard. And it survived Katrina.

But the best part of the trip was finding these.

I have been searching high and low for some good, quality pillows to match one of our couches and finally found them! I am so excited about them that I am cooking up a way to convince the husband that we need to paint the den to really set these pillows off.

I have laundry to do, bags to unpack, a ton of email to go through and lots of blogs to catch up on. And maybe if I click my heels together it will all get done.
