{Ebay-Style}

Today I'm proud to welcome a guest blogger:) ...and here she is...Miss Sweet Secret! I had these toys (not this exact one) when I was little and my Mom often talks about how much I loved them...and I still do! I keep this one in my purse:) Her two Galoob Sweet Secret friends from the early 1980's, mouse and dog, are up for auction on Ebay right now.

I'm axiously awaiting to see how it turns out...I hope they find good homes! {sorry about the crooked pic...I just couldn't get it to rotate...ugh!}

My other current auctions are a matching set of ALF pillowcases....

...and a matching set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle pillowcases. They already have watchers so wish me luck:)

And now...for some STYLE!

I am LOVE LOVE LOVING this red and pink look from New York & Company! I think I'll make something similar my Christmas Eve outfit this year:)

I also LOVE this tone on tone look, also from New York & Company. Gonna have to try that one out, too!

Happy THURSDAY....(as we look forward to FRIDAY!!!)

LOVE,

Laura

{Balance, Bargains, and Bright Lights!}

Yesterday I overdid it with the leftover sugar cookies so today is all about getting BALANCE back. I chose a Kashi TLC bar to get the day started off right:) We also indulged in some yummy grilled cheese and tomato soup for supper last night...

...and there was a clemson paw in the soup! GO TIGERS! Surely a sign they are gonna win the Orange Bowl!

And I can't wait to tell you about the BARGAINS I found below!!!

These five cute fall decorations for only $2.90!!! Found it in the 90% clearance section at CVS. Check your local store and maybe they'll have something left for you

to put up for next year:)

I had my inside Christmas decorations finished the day before Thanksgiving but I wasn't able to get the outside done until this weekend...and here are our BRIGHT LIGHTS! I realized today, while pulling out of the driveway, that it's not as pretty in daylight so I am going to be doing a little more work tonight. I think a few big red bows might do the trick.

Here's our tree:)

and our curious little kitty, Roxie:)
Most importantly....The Nativity has to have a special place in our home at Christmas time...since it's all about CHRIST!

Since we don't have a mantle, I jazz up our piano:)

This decoation is so special to me! My granny has this same thing and as it plays music, the mouse moves up and down in the boot:) I found this at a thrift store and although it doesn't work 100% all the time, it reminds me of my Granny and that's priceless to me!

I went with a Gingerbread Man theme in the kitchen this year...

...and set up some carolers on the buffet:)

And that's our home during the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!

Love,

Laura
