Christmas is over. But that doesn’t mean the giving is.
I did a little shopping yesterday… not to return anything, but to look around. It’s what I do after Christmas.
Shop. It’s much more fun to shop after Christmas than before. The stress is gone and the sales are still on.
And if something catches my eye like a towering stack of satin pink leopard print jewelry boxes…
… well, I’ll take a few extra minutes and look through all the designs.
And if there happens to be something like a super-cute cupcake necklace staring right back at me, then I guess you know what happens next.
Awwe…… How could I resist. It’s just the cutest little thing.
And it comes in the cutest little box.
And then there’s all this cute dangly stuff to boot. Did I mention how cute this thing is?
But I didn’t get it for me. I thought I would give it to one of you. So who wants it?

This New Years Eve I … will be spending spending time with the people I love. My family and closest friends. As we enjoy snacks and sweets all night long – not thinking about the diet we will be starting tomorrow – we will reminise over 2009. As challanging as a year it was with my Husbands cancer diagnosis, and now waiting on results of my daughters biopsy, these events have brought great joy into our lifes. We have learned that what matters in life is TODAY! We have learned to let the sun shine on our faces and feel the breeze in our hair. And as much as we are hoping that 2010 will be a much less eventful year – we thank 2009 for showing us that as a family we can make it through anything.
