OKAY - so maybe Kristy and I were the ONLY ones that thought this challenge was TOO FUN!! OR, maybe you haven't had time to upload your photos YET - so get them to me - cuz as it is RIGHT NOW on Sunday evening - there is NO WINNER!!! We're talkin' a tag-along here peeps!!!




Okay - so,,,,,,,,,,how was your Sunday?? Ours was BUSY BUSY!!! We had our SECOND family Christmas gathering - presents and TONS of food - TONS!! TOO MUCH FOOD to be exact!! We watched "The Polar Express" - my PERSONAL FAVORITE CHRISTMAS MOVIE!! If you haven't seen it - I HIGHLY recommend it - we're probably watch it three more times before Christmas!! I JUST LOVE THAT MOVIE!!!




So, tomorrow is the EIGHTH day of Christmas in our sale!!!

You can take 40% off ANY ONE item of your choice!

(excluding all Epson, Cricut and Wishblade Products!)

We are moving our Clearance stuff out so SUPA fast that we're adding more each day!! So, come in and check it out!!




I wanted to share this with you!! Summer sent this email to the store and I thought it was PERFECT for so many of you mom's out there!! It's always nice to know that you're NOT alone in this world!!!




Dear Santa, I've been a good mom all year. I've fed, cleaned and cuddled my children on demand, visited the doctor's office more than my doctor, sold sixty-two cases of candy bars to raise money to plant a shade tree on the school playground.




I was hoping you could spread my list out over several Christmases, since I had to write this letter with my son's red crayon, on the back of a receipt in the laundry room between cycles, and who knows when I'll find anymore free time in the next 18 years. Here are my Christmas wishes:




I'd like a pair of legs that don't ache (in any color, except purple,which I already have) and arms that don't hurt or flap in the breeze; but are strong enough to pull my screaming child out of the candy aisle in the grocery store.


I'd also like a waist, since I lost mine somewhere in the seventh month of my last pregnancy.


If you're hauling big ticket items this year I'd like fingerprint resistant windows and a radio that only plays adult music; a television that doesn't broadcast any programs containing talking animals; and a refrigerator with a secret compartment behind the crisper where I can hide to talk on the phone.


On the practical side, I could use a talking doll that says, 'Yes,Mommy' to boost my parental confidence, along with two kids who don't fight and three pairs of jeans that will zip all the way up without the use of power tools.


I could also use a recording of Tibetan monks chanting 'Don't eat in the living room' and 'Take your hands off your brother,' because my voice seems to be just out of my children's hearing range and can only be heard by the dog.


If it's too late to find any of these products, I'd settle for enough time to brush my teeth and comb my hair in the same morning , or the luxury of eating food warmer than room temperature without it being served in a Styrofoam container.


If you don't mind, I could also use a few Christmas miracles to brighten the holiday season. Would it be too much trouble to declare ketchup a vegetable? It will clear my conscience immensely.


It would be helpful if you could coerce my children to help around the house without demanding payment as if they were the bosses of an organized crime family.


Well, Santa, the buzzer on the dryer is ringing and my son saw my feet under the laundry room door. I think he wants his crayon back. Have a safe trip and remember to leave your wet boots by the door and come in and dry off so you don't catch cold.


Help yourself to cookies on the table but don't eat too many or leave crumbs on the carpet.


Yours Always,MOM...!


P.S. One more thing... you can cancel all my requests if you can keep my children young enough to believe in Santa.

Sorry but I'm to sick to make snow angels! I love the idea though. Maybe I won't be sick during the next snow fall and can actually make one.
