Happy New Year!

5:30 PM
The after Christmas sale is going fantastically well. I'm completely out of party sheep, almost out of all the dog and bird ornaments, and the Christmas dishes are quickly disappearing.

My favorite...

After Halloween

I'm hoping it means that people are starting to spend again (slowly) and that I made some good choices on all the decorations I picked. I thought I...

I have been meaning to create a blog for a while, but with everything going on in life the task just kept moving further and further down the list until today! Of course now that I'm actually writing a blog I'm struggling with what to share. Why don't I start with what is going on at the store -I spent Thursday and Friday...
