Friday I will be decorating the banquet hall they have rented out... I get to decorate instead of collecting medical bills. At least I get paid to do it. lol

I see those glass blocks everywhere! It's a cool idea. The ornaments are very pretty.

I love the red ribbon!!! Yea, I would like to do something like that and get paid!!! Take pictures of the banquet hall. Theresa is supposed to post some pictures of her church banquet.

they are not glass blocks... it is a nylon material in squares to make the snowman...

I have seen those glass blocks though, a coworker's husband made them for his employees last year, and I made the bows that went on top of them.

I will try to remember to take pictures Friday night... I plan to cart stuff out of my house and set it up there. To be honest, I am tired, my skinny tree is going with me. lol

I was a judge today at work - - our Clinical Dept decorated their aisle (sets of cubicles) - there were five different aisles we had to judge!

It was sooooo much fun! One of the judges was a doctor and he was all about bribes so we got tons of goodies - - lol! He messed with them and told them that we'd take bribes until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow in an email. So, I responded, "well....I'm just saying" and posted a picture of a 2009 Infinite convertible. I heard one group was going to go out tonight and find a Matchbox Infinite to give me - - lol!!!

We've already picked the winner, but they don't know it.

The aisle that won was Santa's Workshop - - they covered supply cabinets to look like giant presents - - had TONS of old timey toys everywhere - - they had one of the cubes set up with all our instruments like they were used to make the toys - - it was great!!!

We passed by a gift shop on the way home from church tonight and they had the glass block snowman in the window. I knew yours was too small, but I posted what I did anyway. Now, you know I am tired!!! LOL!

LOL! Well, the skinny tree won't be too hard to cart around. Hope you have everything you need!!! I'm sure it will look wonderful and festive!!!

That sounds like a blast!!!

A friend of mine on City Counsel in another town is in charge of the judging for the decorated houses that participate. She calls me in to help do the judging. We try not to drive too slow so the people won't know who we are. Lots of fun!

that sounds like fun Renda... our office loves to decorate cubes too... the santa workshop sounds awesome.... did you get pics?

The sides of our cubes are covered in wrapping papers...everybody buys the paper they like and cover the sides to look like presents and then I end up making the bows for the "packages"

All the decorating makes it more fun doesn't it? lol We used to do this for about a week after Thanksgiving, it took up so much time, but what fun...then we got a new President who didn't think it was necessary... so we now have a block of 4 hours the Monday after Thanksgiving to get the decorating out of the way.

I didn't get pics, but the departments did - I'll post when they send them to me. One group even had a Santa!

Well, they spend thousands of $$'s on teambuilding and to me I saw some major teambuilding in this exercise........they were VERY competitive!

How creative. I would love to see a pic of it. I bet there was a lot of creative works to choose from.

What is it with husbands?!? Mine does the same thing. And, I found out he told my two oldest kids what their big present was this year. When I asked why, he said he wanted to be sure they would like it. I told him it was a little late because that's what they are getting. Is it a lie to tell him that I got our daughter a fur coat when I really got her a pair of boots? I did that last year and he told her, "you are getting something with fur on it."
