I'm currently working on two Christmas gifts.
I'll put pictures of them up after Christmas.
Oh, yes. The anticipation builds.

This picture made me laugh today.
It's hard to believe that this picture was taken over a year ago already...

7pm on Tuesday.
The Christian radio station I have been listening to since it first aired in my area around July is Air1!
This entire week they've been picking a winner every hour to win BarlowGirl's new Christmas CD "Home for the Holidays!"
7pm on Tuesday I won! They haven't contacted me, but Matt's friend heard my name on the radio, and I'm pretty sure I'm the only Laura Gallo in my town!
Air 1 is 93.9fm in the Augusta/Lewiston areas (I've listened to it as far south as Wells and as far north as Waterville, but I think it goes more north!)
Or, I've heard it on 106.5fm from Wells, where 93.9 drops off to about Portsmouth, NH, but I'm pretty sure it goes farther than that!
A full listing of the stations throught the US can be searched here, or you could just listen online :) No commercials!

Silver Bells....
Or wreath! I saw this wreath at Target the other day and fell IN LOVE with it!
It's completely silver, with silver sparkles and those little dark spots you see are mirrors (it looks much prettier in person!) It only had two problems with it: it had glitter (which worked on this piece, but in general drives me insane) and it was $30.
Now, maybe that's not a crazy price, but I'm on a budget and can't afford that much for a decoration. So I decided to make my own! I spent $7.50 at the craft department at Wal*mart: berry garland ($5), silver spray paint ($1.12), and sparkle pieces ($1.44).
At home, I assembled the garland in a wreath like form, and added some dried vines that I cut from the grape plant in our front lawn using some craft wire. I then spray painted the whole thing silver, and added some mirror pieces with hot glue!
It's not exact, and it's not as full, but I think it's just as pretty if not prettier! The berries which are not present in the Target wreath create a great reflection because of their shape, and it totally makes up for the lack of glitter!
I wish I had taken some in progress picture, but that's what I always seem to forget!
P.S. this post was written like 2 weeks ago... I was just too lazy to add the pictures at that time!
