SHOPPING AT NORTHPARK MALL

Northpark Mall in Dallas is one of my favorite places to go shopping, especially during the holidays! The flowers were gorgeous! Hope you're enjoying your Christmas shopping and taking time to smell the roses.....well, or to at least admire the poinsettias!

REASON FOR THE SEASON!

I was over at Mom & Dad's house admiring their new nativity (I've never seen one like it!) and wanted to share it with you! The reason for the season!!! I love the things that remind us of what Christmas is all about.

EMBELLISHED SNOWMEN CARDS!

Mom has been working on embellishing these cute 3-dimensional snowmen cards we found at Ross. She's adding twigs, ribbon, buttons, etc., and we're going to set these down the tables at our extended family Christmas party coming up soon! Snow cute!!!

VINTAGE GOODNESS FROM LAURIE ANNAS

Mom got this darling silver bird and vintage-looking letter "M" wall hook from Laurie Anna's Vintage Home in Canton recently. I love the way they look in this vintage white pottery.

GIFT-WRAPPING

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!

Wrapping gifts for the office Christmas party coming up this week!!! Our first party of the season!

WINTER WONDERLAND!

I guess get my love of Christmas decorating from my parents! Dad has already decorated the backyard with tons of lights! He and Mom can look out their big bay window in their kitchen, while sitting at the kitchen table, at their own "winter wonderland"!

THE SMART DENTIST IN THE SMART CAR!

I had posted here about my boss (a dentist) getting a Smart Car this past Spring. It's sooooo tiny and cute that we decided to incorporate it into our office's latest ad shown here!

You can't help but notice Dr. T. when he's driving around town in this teeny, tiny car! The photo doesn't really do it justice-----it's an eye-popping bright, bright metallic orange!

Did you know the Smart Car is made by Mercedes? It is! My coworkers and me were really concerned for his safety at first but then found out the Smart Car has a steel safety shell that tested really well in test crashes.

This car is so little and cute that it literally makes me smile every time I see it! What do you think? Would you ever consider getting one?
