So how funny, mom was in SC when I decided that I was going to have a Jim Shore tree next year. Apparently before I called her to tell her to be on the lookout she had already picked up 3 for me telling my aunts and Mamaw that she thought I might like them and like to have a tree next year. TOO FUNNY!!!

Just playing around a little with Macro and water droplets.

Hmmmm I've been a busy shopper today. Got some new Santas, Ornament Stand and 4 New Ornaments!

Love my NY Jim Shore Santa ornament mom got me!

YAY! Love it. I have such a great hubby! Of course he is an Apple Nazi so I got him the Nexus 10. Yep we have an Apple/Android Marriage. It works well :)

My new Waterford Santa and his balls. He he he They're so cute!

Got to give all my Aunts and my Mamaw Clara their "Happy Presents" today! I made them each a set if beach theme coasters! So much fun!

so I could not stretch my legs out...LOL

Crazy enough I had to put it up because my
 silly Gracie LOVES veggies even more than her mommy and would not leave me alone!

She is so hard to keep still!
