now's the time...

my favorite body wash isn't from the mall...
...or cosmetic store....
it's from walmart.
every year at christmas suave makes 4 limited edition holiday scents....
and holiday pear is my favorite.
only $1.93 for a huge 18 oz bottle of goodness.
it sells out quickly.....
i'll confess,
i had to hit a couple walmarts to get my little stash :)

found...

i usually get one christmas "thing" every year....
...and i knew that that the minute i saw this
fabulous little bird house, that it would be this year's purchase...
covered in glitter, numbers, and postage markings
...only $3.50 at target
(there was a round one, too....
...i may just have to get 2 christmas "things" this year)
and i know for sure that it will still be hanging in my house
long after christmas is over.

merry christmas.....

wishing you the best christmas!!
it's been a great year,
thanks for stopping by...
.... i've loved "meeting" so many of you and getting to know you ....

see you next year
(unless i can't help myself and
i pop in with an update or two :)

last minute...

if you are looking for a local, one-of-kind Christmas gift....
it's not too to get one..... or two
at art & light
open today and tomorrow

the house is all decorated....
and for some reason,
this little guy is my favorite...

....when i pull him out at christmas
i'm always so happy to see him
