Our annual trip to SF......

There is nothing like the feel of the hustle and bustle of a big city at Christmas time. It is magical !!!! SF is beautiful at the holidays. Every store and building has lights and/or decorations.

Love this picture. It is coming out of the tunnel over the Bay Bridge. We had the threat of rain on this trip, but it never did.
Claire and I at Union Square :)

The beautiful, 3 story tall, Christmas tree inside Neiman Marcus.

Love Macy's windows......

A crafty share.....

How CUTE is this little Christmas photo box made out of cardstock !!!!! I got it from one of the little first graders yesterday. Her Mom thought I would love it since I am crafty :)

There are 3 layers for photos. Can't wait to fill it up !!!!

Had to share this as well....is it not theeeeee sweetest birthday card EVER ?!?!

This melts my heart.....

Olga sent this to me yesterday. My Dad and I at Thanksgiving :)

What's Christmas w/out a Christmas play......

Here is John the Elf...... Doing his narrator job :)

The whole class singing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". DARLING play !!!!!!

Glitter and Martha love.......

These cuties are on the Martha website. To fun to make and easy peasy :)

I made a few of these to add onto some packages......

I *heart* Anthropologie !!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, I need to stay FAR away from this place !!!!!! Not so much their clothes, which I love, but way to pricey for me....but all the fun home stuff. I have bought lots and lots of gifts from there. As a matter of fact, their Christmas wrap this year, the ribbon is twill tape with buttons sewn on it. Anyway, I got this DARLING goodie in the mail today. It is a 15% off coupon to celebrate my birthday. Forget the coupon, look at the darling little pouch it came in !!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how I LOVE Anthropologie :)

December 1st......

Don't get to busy you forget to enjoy the little things this holiday season.....hohoho !!!!
