♥ Happy Thanksgiving! ♥





May your stuffing be tasty
May your turkey plump,
May your potatoes and gravy
Have never a lump.
May your yams be delicious
And your pies take the prize,
And may your Thanksgiving dinner
Stay off your thighs!

♥ Christmas Jewelry Colletion ♥

Oh yes, it is quickly approaching that time of year again. We can barely get past Halloween and we are blasted with Christmas music, holiday sales, and Christmas lights everywhere. Ok, I love all those, but I like to get past Thanksgiving first. If you're in the retail business you know you have to start early. And if you make jewelry, then you had better be ready to go by Halloween. Well, I happen to be one of the slackers. ;) I am hoping to get alot of items done this weekend and posted in time to start my Black Friday sale in my Etsy shop. Only I think I will start it a day or two early since most people are off work and when they're not stuffing themselves on turkey & watching tv & napping (yes, I do love this holiday!) they will be online shopping for some good buys. I know the past few years I have done alot of shopping online. I personally can't take more than one day at the crowded malls. :)

So here's a preview of some items I'm listing in my etsy shop. I'm even going to have a sale of save 20% off purchases starting Wednesday, November 23rd, Coupon Code: Noel2011. I will be listing more jewelry and tea ball infusers before then too.

Hope you have a wonderful Thursday!
