Kramer Chronicles-Christmas Kitchen

Well, you've seen the living room now it's time for the kitchen.
Follow me...
Even Elizabeth got decorated!
Mom added some stuff to the bathroom too.
I try not to stay put too long or mom may decorate me too.
In fact I think I hear her coming now with something jingling!
Yikes! The last time that happened I saw Lizzy running through the house with reindeer antlers on her head! Come back soon and I'll show you the next room.
Until next time,
purrs and meows,
Kramer

Kramer Chronicles-Christmas Decor Overload!

And my SAGA continues!
Mom and dad both spent days putting up Christmas decorations while the dogs and I looked on.
 

It all started with lots of junk, junk, junk!
I mean, come on, who keeps a giant egg?
Well before I knew it mom had the egg all decorated and sitting in an antique silver cup.
(she seemed really proud of herself so who was I to burst her bubble?)
I keep hearing her talk about being on a budget which I hope doesn't apply to my Christmas catnip!
She was very determined to use what she had around the house.
Then she took a little Christmas tree hung antique keys and vintage crystals from it and stuck it in a silver sugar bowl.
All of this she used to decorate the mantel that she just finished undecorating!
To be perfectly honest I was getting kinda bored (not to mention I was beginning to wonder about my mom's sanity with all this undecorating and redecorating).

So I went to my window seat and did a little bird-watching...
some surfing...
and some napping.
And what to my wondering eyes did appear when I awoke a few hours later?
 Christmas decor galor!
I thought this vignette needed a little Kramer:).
Even the coasters were decorated!
Only my mom would buy a vintage red peacock at thrift store.
 
By nightfall everything looked pretty cozy.
 
 
 
Total cost for this room, $3.50.
So I sat back and enjoyed all the splendor.
All of this coziness is making me sleepy.
I think it's time for a nap!
Come back tomorrow to see the next room!

Kramer Chronicles-It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like...

Kramer!
It's Christmas season again and my mom has been driving me crazy with all of this decorating!

I watched as she brought box after box of Christmas decorations into the house.

YIKES! She almost dropped that one!

I decided to lend a paw but then I realized more was needed...

so I lept into action!

Wow, that was a close one. I better rest for a minute.
(it's tough decorating for Christmas)!

Alright, break time is over-it's time to help unwrap the decorations.
Nothing like a little paper play to revitalize the senses!

Honestly, it looks like a bunch of junk to me.

Since everything is unwrapped I decided to watch from a distance
 as mom removed everything from the mantel.

Seems odd to me that she spent so much time decorating it
just to strip it bare to redecorate it all over again!

All of this thinking and decorating has worn me out.
Come visit tomorrow to see what my mom did with all that stuff we unpacked.
Happy napping!

Sunday Wisdom

"Praise be to the Lord,
for he has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and I am helped.
My heart leaps for joy
and I will give thanks to him in song."
Psalm 28: 6-7, NIV
