Now that Thanksgiving and all the great food + family time + memories are tucked away,  It's Christmastime! There are those who have called me the Queen of Christmas decorations.  I have half a storage unit full of Christmas coolness:  different colors and heights of trees, strings of lights, stunning, vintage gold balls that my great Aunt Suzy willed me, one-of-a-kind thrift store finds of retro pieces that plug in and illuminate, Hunter's sweet ornaments from when he was in K-2nd grade (priceless!) and boxes and boxes of many other treasured Christmas pieces. This year, I down sized as far as how much I put up.  Although downsized it's still super pretty and memories smile as I pass the decorations and lights throughout the house. I love this time of year.  An undeniable, irresistible magic. Here's the fun list of 12 for this grand Monday.  Enjoy!

Happy Halloween friends! I recall this adorable, hilarious story about my granddaughter, Elizabeth, from several years ago.  It was going to be her first trick-or-treating experience so in preparation, she went around the inside of their home and knocked on closed doors to practice her Trick-or-Treat action!

Hello Monday and top of the morning to all!  I found these cool 12 for today.  Click and enjoy. 2 dozen donuts ranked.  I've always been a maple bar kinda girl but these all look delish! Keepers of the walkway ... Closet makeover time ...
