This HoLiDaY Scott and I were asked if we would participate in our town’s Holiday Homes Tour to help raise money for a non-profit animal shelter, called the Castaways. How could we say “No”? WaLtEr our chocolate lab is a rescue dog. So here is a sample of what people saw on the tour:
On the front porch were these chairs with a sign that said "LeT It SnOw". The weather man must have thought it said "Rain" rather than "Snow", and rain it did all day long!! However, it only added to the ambiance – cozy and warm inside with Lara's aromatic potpourri filling the house, Christmas music, lots of Christmas lights, and a crackling fire!!

A greeting to all who visited!
Walter stole the show by sitting in this very spot all after noon with his reindeer head band. And yes, the K-State footbal game played (on mute) durng the open house! They won and are headed to the Cotton Bowl!! Yay!! – (I had to include that since Scott, Lara, and her husband, Doug are all K-State alums and very proud Wildcats!! :) ) What a sport!

In case you were hoping to see the Master Bedroom, that’s another post I will share in January (hopefully). I spent a couple of months doing a room make-over and want to show you my finished product!! StAy TuNeD!!
Thanks Robyn! Wouldn’t it be fun if you, Lara, and I could work on flipping/decorating a fixer-upper and post the progress on the blog? Just dreaming a bit, but you never know!
I have always thought you have such a beautiful and inviting home. But the people who live there are even more special. Your friendship and hospitality are what truly make it a memorable and welcoming experience!
Lara, we are blessed to have such wonderful friends like you, as well as an awesome familyl! You are what helps make our house a home!! Thanks for your friendship!!!
Donna,
Thanks for being our greeter! You, Karry, and the all organizers of the Castaways all did a wonderful job! We are glad we could help in your cause!!
Robynn, I just love your guys’ house. It is very beautiful and looks very cozy! I would love to be able to showcase my house one of these days, but way after I am able to contribute to my family. Thanks for sharing your house!
