Who hasn’t heard of the saying: “Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. That’s one of my most favorite phrases in one of my all-time favorite HGTV show Decorating Cents.
I think that’s one of the most influential shows for me in my enduring appreciation of finding the treasure in what someone may consider to be trash.
The Christmas White Elephant Dice Game
This Christmas, our Aunt Kelly and SIL Rachelle devised an ingenious game for the usual Christmas exchange gift.
It’s Christmas Eve and I haven’t wrapped a single gift, have to prepare for my husband’s Christmas family dinner and still make some gifts! Deep breath… okay let’s get to work.
I’m doing a paella which is simple enough… sort of… hey its my first time to do it so its a bit of a challenge… wish me luck…
I still have to do a shawl for my mother and mother-in-law, but I need to get in the mood for that, still a few hours for that. If I run out of time because of some motherly duty, there should be a back-up gift somewhere… again good luck with that.
But the wrapping should be easier, so that task first.

It’s been quite a while since my last post and things have been very hectic, from kids getting sick to computers bogging down, it has made me stay offline for a while.
But with the holidays coming, I felt its about time to come back (sort of).
I have always loved Christmas and I still do, so I want to pass it on to my kids. Of course, its easy for them with all the gifts and toys that come with it, I also would like them to know it and enjoy it beyond the gifts, and of course, in the eco-friendly way.
But how do you celebrate a GREEN Christmas? This year, that is our project.
