Maybe I Do Want To Live on a Farm
What could be better? Totally fresh, un-pesticides, organic fruits, count me in! I was excited to make and eat homemade dried apples this past summer. I wish I could have helped out with canning tomatoes but hopefully some other time. Yes, I'm beginning to enjoy this life.
Our Little Tree
This is our little Christmas Tree and I love it. I wish I knew how to take a better picture of it. I don't want to take it down. It's so simple but makes me so happy.

Specials
Anyone find any after Christmas specials? If I only had the selection you luckies in the States do. Don't get me wrong, Europe has awesome treasures but I am a bit more familiar with shopping in the States for bargains.
Stuff still on my wish list:
large bag of original cran-raisins (a favorite with us lately). I would love to get a Costco size bag of these.
Coupons--The military accepts coupons up to 6 months past the expiration date and it is wonderful how much coupons can save on the grocery bill
A printer--We have one but not with us...totally frustrating
Craft supplies and stuff (rubber stamps, stamp ink, cardstock, anything having to do with crafts)--Yes, after years of never thinking twice about being crafty, I suddenly have a huge desire to be crafty. That is hugely due to the Pink Christmas I participated in this year (more on that later).
Where do you buy your craft supplies at? Know any good deals? What do you still want for your life? Were there awesome deals out there after Christmas? Do you think 2 drinks for the price of 2 drinks is a good deal?
Christmas Decorations
Opps, I've had this in my draft box for 2 months! Good thing it's still December and our Christmas decorations are still up. In fact, at this point, I don't even want to take them down. I'll have to post pictures of them later.
We recently got to visit Garmish-Patkirchen (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) and I saw these cute little houses, perfect for under the Christmas tree or decorations around the house. Since these ones cost about 50 Euro for one little house, I had to find other (read: cheaper) cute houses. I did find some but they're still in boxes so I'll have to take a picture later but now I need to find cute little benches, people, trees, and wagons like they had in this shop window. I don't know if you can see them, they are tiny. You can click on the picture to make it bigger if you want.
What are some of your favorite Christmas decorations?

Christmastime
I realize that it is Christmastime and not Halloween and therefore I do not want halloween pictures to be the first post on our blog. That is why I am typing this post. I have been a poor blogger lately but have enjoyed reading everyone else's blogs way too much. I get caught up in blog-hopping and lately it has been taking up my desire to blog myself. So for all of you bloggers and your great post, ideas, pictures, recipes and crafty ideas I thank you!
Merry Christmas to everyone and I {plan} to post something/anything sometime soon.
