It's Christmas Time in the..... office

Last year being my first year at RTT I found out that everyone there really liked to decorate for Christmas. This year was not any different.

Below is the File Opening, Summons & Complaint and Service side of the 2nd floor. They have all their stockings hung over a fireplace and some Christmas trees!


This is the stuffed Santa suit oustide Kiki and Lauren's cubes. The santa suit was stuffed with news paper and they had to give it a head!


This is the Contested Team's side of the hallway. Stockings, garland, big pieces of "candy" with their names on them.


Amy and Elizabeth's cubes. These are clear plastic sheets with the designs on them.


The Twelve Days of Chrismas outside the Sales team cube


The Sales team stockings and Christmas Tree (We use this Christmas tree for the Hannah House Charity we do at christmas time)

QA's stockings. They wrapped wrapping paper around a bunch of their cubes.

This is where I work in the Hearings Team Hallway. We are the only 4 cubes that go in this direction. It makes it good for us when we are having "team meetings". My cube is the first on the left!


Caity, our 1, and newest, (she transferred from Sales) annexed team member. There are 5 total on my team. The 4 of us in the hallway above and Caity!


Loss Mit's singing and dancing Christmas bear.. oh how entertaining they are!


Loss Mit's stockings. Bonnie has the Pink one. She loves pink. Her whole cube is pink. Seriously.

And that's the 2nd floor Christmas Tour! Merry Christmas everyone!!

Get Ready...

We are getting the internet back here shortly!!! I cannot wait. I have been up at the Maduro Room for the past hour and a half ordering my Christmas Photo cards. I had all intentions to blog my Christmas Decorations, but I have got to get out of this smoke!!! Anyways, hopefully my blogs will pick back up to normal! I am so excited about our Christmas cards. This is our first year doing them, since this is our first Christmas as a married couple! I would show them on here but then it would not be as fun when you get them in the mail. After searching Shutterfly and Snapfish, I chose a Snapfish. It was cute and for the right price. There were some I really liked, but they were almost $2 a piece and I could not fork over that much for a Christmas card. Anyways, I hope you will enjoy it when you receive it in the mail in a week or so!

Color

I have decided that I am bored with the brown/grey neautral color that my den area is painted. I want something different. Any suggestions? My kitchen is red and so is the bottom half of the dining room. Also, the guest room needs to be painted a different color too. The bedspread is orange, lime green and a bright blue... the wall is currently yellow (how we bought it).

Facebook

After years of nagging Michael finally joined facebook! He said he had to for the Maduro Room facebook page he made. Sure... Anyways, add him as a friend and become a fan of the Maduro Room!

HaLLoWeeN decor

Okay, so this post is a week after these decorations were actually done but, better late than never..

candy corn in some square vases with little tea lights

Decided to paint one for now and I will carve one close to halloween

And I stole kristy's wreath idea (painting a vine one that is)

forgot to take the chain off the porch that Tank was hanging out on when I was out painting. A little ghost pumpkin. I wish my paint pen had not run out during the eyes...

Some cut outs I bought at Michael's. They are fun and glittery! There were also 2 black cats, but they did not show up on the wreath.

I had fun with these! And they did not take long at all. Thanks to everyone else for all the inspiration!!

Ironman

As some of you might know my dad is an Ironman! He has participated in 5 full Ironmans and a million half Ironmans. For those of you who do not know, an Ironman, is a triathalon. A full Ironman is a 2.2 mile swim followed by a 112 mile bike and then finished with a 26.2 (yes a full marathon) run. This past Sunday my parents came dad and my dad did a Half Ironman (which is half the distance of all of the above) in Augusta.


getting ready for the swim ...
there they go 1.2 mile swim in the Savannah River





Mike has the camera at this point and missed him going by. I however got a good picture with my Blackberry and uploaded it to facebook so I could tag my dad and all his friend could keep track of how he was doing.

on to the run.. only 13 miles

and he is done! with a victory beer! not bad for 58!!!

OH Walmart...
