holiday shopping...

This year, instead of posting all the new pieces as usual on my website... I'll be posting 12 wonderful one of a kind pieces- one each day from: December 1st thru December 12th- here and on Ebay.

I'm still working on all the pieces and hashing out the details, but I hope to have a handful of ornaments, mitten mice, a kitty or two, at least one bunny, of course a few bears... and??? Most will be Christmas-ie but there will be a few non-holiday pieces in there too. Each auction will be 5 days long and all will start out at $40.

Check the blog or ebay each day

(around 12 noon CST) for the new listing...

Layaway is avaiable for these listings. For all the details... here are all the details.

Very thankful indead.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here... it was my first time making dinner without my mom at the helm- and it went really well if I do say so myself. We were surrounded by loved ones and good food. mmmmmm. I think Thanksgiving may be the perfect holiday.
Hope you all had a very good one!
(I made this turkey last year- he's the one and only- but I hope to make more next year... I'm quite smitten with him)
