We'll see.
Anyway here is the scoop for today.
First thing is Becca from GARDNERS 2 BERGERS is featuring my foyer today and how I recovered my bench. Becca is a queen of DIY. I got so caught up in reading her blog and seeing all of the projects she has managed to tackle. Seriously, that girl has some mad skills......please go check out her project gallery!
Then I was reading a few blogs this morning....yeah there is a news flash, and came across something to share with you. Lisa Mende is a blogger/designer in Charlotte North Carolina. She was at market and saw this great idea called Tempaper. I am going to let her give you the 411 so go here and see what I am talking about! It is certainly for bloggers who can not commit.....you know who you are :)
After much procrastinating I managed to fill a wooden bowl with some Christmas greenery. Whoopie. Look at me...a real Martha Stewart. Let's face it though....she has people to execute her designs.
Then I worked my magic with greenery and some clementines in a bowl.
I'll probably finish up on the 23rd like I did last year and then leave town on the 27th. What is the point. I don't know.
I have one last thing to share.
If you have been reading Design Indulgence for a while you know I am NOT a wiz bang in the kitchen. Today with one little picture I am going to prove this to you.
Here is a peeler.
As I was taking it out of the DW the other day I noticed this. What the hell......Oh.....hmmmmm. I had never taken this little sticker off.
And we wonder why shampoo comes with directions. For people like me.
I did finish my project this weekend!
Don't forget the giveaway......
Mondays are for getting things done and making a weekly list.
Here's hoping it is not too long :)

Great price on the dough bowl and love it filled. Did mine, too. You are so funny. Yep, gotta remove the sticker. Then hide that thing far away in the back of the drawer so hubby doesn't cut his finger on it while looking for something else in there.
I am feeling lazy here too! Love Becca's blog and to have you over there will be a treat for sure....loving the greenery!
I love your posts! HA - that peeler has me laughing - I swear - are we related or something? That is totally something that I would do.
I think I will get another cup of coffee. That dough bowl and your arrangement is gorgeous!! Wow!
Trying to remember the last time I peeled a potato Ha! I am not the one to bring potato dishes to the family events..

I am so laughing at the peeler incident...could happen to anyone I guess. Love your dough bowl and you've given me an idea since I have a small one...thanks!
I just love starting my Mondays with a laugh from you! A sticker on the peeler would get in the way of a good peeling job, fo sho! Love your decorations and the amazing bowl...off to check out two new to me blogs.... I really should be decorating for Christmas....!

If it makes you feel any better, I'm still in my jammies and it's 10:00 am!
Wish I was still in my pj's! The peeler story made me laugh!! I can't for the life of me figure out how you even peeled at ALL with that! lol!!
That peeler sticker incident is hilarious!
Thank you for stopping by my blog and your kind comments!

Without a doubt you always give me a good chuckle and I think you have something there with that wooden bowl (which those metal plates are really cool) what you put together is really beautiful and takes some talent. I wonder if you gave that bowl to 10 other people what everyone would come up with....mmmm....
Its okay, we all have our strengths and our weaknesses. Clearly peeling veggies goes in the latter column. Thankfully, you have so many other endearing qualities. And quit advertising that dang giveaway - you're hurting my chances!!
Love your take and humor....I so "get it"......and I am all for 2nd and 3rd cups of coffee, I am one serious coffeaholic!
Will head over to see your foyer over at the other blog!
Love the greenery in the bowl...I think that looks VERY Christmassy! I am all about the greenery....the peeler made me laugh out loud!
Have a great week!

Your peeler incident cracked me up! Oh, I have heard about Tempaper recently. What a fabulous idea, right?
Hope you have a great week ahead!

i've been searching for a dough trencher!!! love it!!! please take me to scotts with you:)
You are just too funny! I like your decorations so far. That is a nice dough bowl too. Great price! I'm going to go check out your foyer now.
Hahaha! I tried to use a peeler with the safety sticker still on a couple of weeks ago. I was all mad, wondering who ruined my peeler and then I realized it was new when the other one was in the sink.
Oh you crack me up! I didn't get out of my jammies until late today too.....been on a 4 day table decorating marathon for one event or another! I'm not putting a tree up this year, we are traveling and no point..doing a wee bit to make it look festive.
You and that peeler....for real? Crazy girl!
Loved the entry redo! AND I like that graphite chalk paint...where you git it? The mirror is perfect...did the MR help you hang that sucker? For the keys...I say find a small open wooden box/tray and put on the bench at an angle or one big enough to put the books you have there in it AND the KEYS! The man NEEDS a place for his keys or he will want YOU to remember where HE put them!
You crack me up, Sherry! Have a great week!
Sherry, I just clicked over to see what you were doing today and saw my name! Thank you for the plug. Your blog is always so interesting and informative as well as fun to read. I love the new post about slipcovers. I am filing this away with my blogs to keep info. Happy Holidays! Lisa
Bahaha, your peeler story is hilarious! I love your wooden dough bowl - gorgeous!
That dough bowl is such a great find! Love your greenery and vignettes...so pretty and colorful!
Love that big bowl and all of your decor! Martha has nothing on you!
HAHA! You made me laugh (well sort of snort) out loud while I was eating my salad at lunch with the carrot peeler! So funny! Ther isn't any thing funny about your decorations though-- I think you did a gorgeous job! Beautiful!
Great bowl. Jennings has a huge one on his island in the kitchen that he always has filled with cool seasonal stuff. You'll get lots of use for your 50 smackers.
Sherry, that bowl is amazing. I think you got a deal on it and I love how you arranged it. It looks great on your island.
Nice post. Your blog is the kind of blog I want to read to start my day. Thanks for sharing!
I think you are on a roll!! Love love the dough bowl and the greens and clementines, all natural and pretty!! Love the black and white checked ribbon too!! I have come to a halt due to a doozy of a head cold/flu thingy. I have found I can not be creative when my head is fuzzy and hurts. So I am glad I got something done, because now I have huge doubts that the other planned stuff will get done!! Oh well, Tis the season!! Merry Christmas, Falala or should I say, flu-la-la!?

That bowl rocks. Love your Christmas vignettes!
