appy Holiday season and welcome to TFT! This is now my sixth year co-hosting this fabulous weekly link party for bloggers and blog readers with Katherine of Katherine’s Corner and a fantastic group of bloggers
NOTE: The party time has changed to 9:00 a.m. MDT (11:00 EST.
Here’s what I’ve been up to!
I hope you all had a very merry Christmas! We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with family. I had all intentions of doing a post and even had planned to vent a little bit about why I wasn’t able to pull off a real Christmas tour, but I ended up hurting my back trying to help my husband move a heavy piece of furniture and was pretty much out of commission as far as doing any last minute decorating, cleaning or photography. I did share a couple of photos on Instagram and a reel if you would like to check it out there.
I was blown away that The Cottage Journal featured my photo from my 2021 Christmas Dining room for their official Christmas Day post! It was such a pleasant surprise, especially since I was a little down about not sharing a big blog tour and still feeling a little overwhelmed with renovations.

My husband worked tirelessly to try to get some new cabinetry installed so I could make it look pretty for Christmas. He actually installed two large counter to ceiling glass door cabinets on Christmas Eve. We still have to add more hardware but I just love them!

I have just spent the last few days using my new tea kettle and sitting on a heating pad by the Christmas tree. I am hoping my back pain lets up before going back to work next week so I can start cleaning up Christmas and transitioning to winter.

I hope you are healing quickly, Amber! I know what it’s like to hurt a back moving something. Almost two years ago, I did it trying to my my refrigerator… The way I did it was just plain stupid! LOL! I’m at 22 and 23 this week. Congrats on the feature with Cottage!

Congratulations on The Cottage Journal Christmas Day feature on Instagram. I saw the IG post and knew before reading it was yours! I was so happy for you. What a special “Christmas present” to you. Your new remodeled old house is looking so good. Your husband is a treasure to work on your cabinet doors on Christmas Eve, but that is another special “Christmas present” for you.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
