A little Christmas Humor

 

Edgar's investigating

Edgar discovered my new Thirty-One bag. It is the new Zip Top Organizing Utility Tote in the new Bold Bloom pattern. 

He noticed that you can have it open...

Or use the zipper so you can have it closed. 

He was impressed with all the pockets that it has. 

He decided to scout through the new spring catalog to check out the new products. 

Keep in mind that every time you leave a comment when you see Edgar your name will be placed in a drawing for a giveaway.  The winner will receive the mini-zipper pouch in the new paradise pop pattern. 

Be sure and leave your comments to register for the drawing. The winner will be drawn and announced on December 26th.

I love a parade....

We had our 3rd Annual Kodak Christmas Parade yesterday. Despite the rain and the cold temperatures, we did have quite a few participants turn out. I was happy with the results. We are a very small community and just advertise locally. Our local fire department is very supportive of the parade and usually has a great turnout. A special thanks to Theresa and Renee. We couldn't have done it without their help.

A great big thank you to everyone who came.

A surprise on my desk....

I came in this Monday with this surprise on my desk. It was an awesome Christmas basket filled with goodies from my dearest friend who also happens to be my bosses wife.

It had some awesome goodies in it. There was a set of coffee - cake mugs. It has a recipe on the back where you can actual bake miniature cakes in the microwave right inside the mugs. I'm going to try one this weekend. It had some  delicious Lindt's Lindor Truffles and and this adorable Christmas ornament with my last name initial on it.

There was a plush robe that is super soft and very warm. I've used it quiet a lot this past week.

She had also included a hot chocolate maker. I love hot chocolate and plan on getting a lot of use out of this.

Everything was neatly placed in this gorgeous basket that I am going to use in my craft room to hold some of my craft supplies.

In the very bottom of the basket was something that made me squeal. My #1 item on my Pyrex wish list. I love it. It is the Shenandoah pattern that I have been wanting for months but could not find. 

This was one awesome gift baskets and I am very thankful for all that she and her husband do for me. Thanks, Stevie & Eric. I loved the gift.

Where did that come from?

Once upon a time there was a little girl with a head full of golden curls.



Through the years she played Barbie's and baby dolls.


The years went on until the next thing she knew, she as a senior in high school and ready to face the world.



Over the years, God blessed her with two beautiful children and the man of her dreams.

The years went by and she watched her children grow and get married. She and her hubby were soon on their own, living in their empty nest.

The next thing you knew, she was told she was going to have a grandchild. The years went on and those calls continued until she was blessed with five beautiful (those sometimes a little crazy) grandchildren to love with all her heart.

Then she woke up this morning and she was 57 years old! How in the world did that happen? Where did 57 come from. I knew it would happen one day, but I never thought it would happen so soon. Oh, well. There you have it. I am 57 today. And I plan on enjoying every single moment of my birthday. Hubby is taking me shopping and out to dinner tonight. 

A client of mine told me something once that I like to remember at times like this..."It's always a good day when you wake up on this side of the dirt."

I'm off to enjoy my birthday. Have a great day!
