Thursday's Child

"Thursday's child has faaaaaaaaar to go!"

And with little helpers like Annie, you can imagine just how far I've got to go to get ready for Christmas! Dear friends, I have my hands full, so to keep an eye on Annie, I took her shopping at the Dollar Tree, turned around, and found this...



And this...



She's becoming an incorrigible Magpie!

I'm out shopping (by necessity -- as in food, glorious food! And presents 'round the tree!And some clean clothes to wear since I've been in the same sweats for two days! Don't tell!) and will have a very shiny post tomorrow! Some major bling from a very shiny shop! Don't believe me? Take a look at that package Annie's holding. It positively glows!



Flittingly,


Mrs. Magpie (Sheila)

Love you, girl!

Oh, and Annie says "Thanks." She writes the posts about herself, you know, and then I post them. ;-)

XO,

Hi Sheila!

I can't wait to see what's in your shiny packages - the wrapping is so pretty!

And you won't believe this - I just bought those reindeer antlers just yesterday at the Dollar Tree(and a blinking red nose) for my cousin's little boy!!!

Thanks for you sweet comment on my tree and cards. It was fun to let my sweet boy decorate the tree - he got soooo into it. :)

Happy shopping and decorating. I can't wait to see what you have.
~Hugs!

Hey, everyone! So happy to see your sweet comments!

I was in early, and then did a million and one things today. I see daylight! :-)

Rhonda, thanks about Miss Annie! She is a funny bird and enjoys making mischief. Glad her antics make you smile!

Beth, I'm going to get out my flashlight and go searching for you soon! Thanks for the sweet comments. Annie and I appreciate them. :-)

Ms. Tee, I can't believe you have those antlers! LOL! So funny! And I did love your tree and your card tree, both! AND I am going to show a lot of shiny stuff that is in a store I visited tomorrow. It's just some eye candy to admire. I thought you all might enjoy a trip to this shop. :-)

Jen, this is a "pretty" and shiny post. Hope you enjoy it. :-)

Jeanne, we will miss you but look forward to seeing you when you return. Have a great time! :-)

Liz, I'm so glad you're enjoying them. That Annie is a card! ;-)

Lorrie, I hope you enjoy my shopping trip tomorrow. I actually took y'all with me!

Love to everyone...

XO,

Sheila

I love Annie! Does she have a sister?

Neabear said...

I see you found Annie! She was missing the other day. I hope she is behaving herself now. Have a good day with Annie.

Shelia,

When I first stated making the toffee I used a heavy pan on the stove although the recipe said to use the electric skillet. It still turned out yummy:)

Oh, I do hope you make it! I would love to have it made and deliver it all wrapped up in a bow to your front door. Then Perhaps I could meet Miss Annie!

Our computers will have to suffice.

Merry Christmas!
