Christmas Eve Miracles Happen!!!

This is my second year participating in a fun little exchange on the Dachsie forum I belong to.   Who knew ... that this year would be an incredible year for someone so small as Shiloh ...

In his sockie from his SSP person he found many neat things.   Treats, a Candy cane toy, an Elmer Fudd Flapjack hat made by the wonderful Kalyxcraftopia fairy ...

His hat..




But wait .. there was something more.. something special ...


Low and behold... his SSP had done the unimaginable..  All we had to do was chose a color.


I CAN SEEEEEEEE

Yippy Skippy!

I'm tired .... it's been a long day of having fun with my Mommy...  We were at our last thrifty store when I found the Candy cane arch of my dreams and she got it for me.  Merry Christmas that's your prezzie she said if I wanted it that badly.   Yes indeedy do!!!

So ... being exhausted.. what was the first thing I did when I got home?   Kicked off my good shoes.. yes.. stuffed on my crappy ol flip flops.. yes.. trudged outside and erected her in all her glorious goodness.

I'm purring...   : )

Me so wuvs Christmas time.  Hope the neighbors catch onto my thrill and put some lightage up too.  Ol' fuddy duds.  : )

<-=! Happy Thanksgiving !=->

As I sit here I think about the many things that I am thankful for. 

At the moment it's patience with my hubby because sometimes men can be so ignorant about the time it takes to prepare something that will last all of perhaps 30 minutes.   Men ... so blissfully unaware of what goes on within their own homes.  Sometimes, it truly amazes me.

So .. I thought .. why not take a few tidy'd up before's.   Because the afters will be a mess that woman have been dealing with since the "dawn" of Thanksgiving.




I have a wee thing for glass and candle holders.


The dishes belonged to my Grandma and I was fortunate enough to be given them when she was still living in Oregon.  It's very rare that they come out.  I'm terrified they will get a chip or even worse. It would be one more bit of once was gone.  But Holidays make me braver and make me want to use the pretty stuff.  No Corelle tomorrow.   : )
