I've said it before and I will say it again....I love A Day for Daisies digi stamps.  This week they are sponsoring our challenge and giving away a very nice prize for one lucky winner who participates in this weeks challenge.

 

This digi is called A Special Gift.  I think it is the sweetest Christmas Digi ever.  If you like it, you can buy it here.

 

 

 

 

Back Porch

My hubby decided to put a roof over our deck.  I will admit, that I really didn't want to take down the wisteria because it was absolutely beautiful this year.   Anyway, I finally gave in and here is how it turned out.  Yes, we still have a lot of work to do since we took out the swimming pool, but that will come. 

 

This is my favorite end.  I have a swing.  Aawww...it is so relaxing to sit there and gently swing watching the squirrels play in the trees or the deer roam through the woods. 

This is the end off our bedroom.  I might move things around, but for now it will do. 

 

I took this picture standing in front of the swing.

 

Since the roof was added, we have spent more time on the deck than we did in the 10 years since it was built.
