christmas magic and a box of puffs.

Christmas Magic this year was so incredibly awesome (despite my horrible allergies)--I'm still trying to catch up from it!  During the weeks leading up to Christmas Magic, I felt my self getting sick with that lovely allergy/sinus/stuffy nose stuff.  I kept thinking, 'please don't let me get sick until after Christmas Magic, please don't let me get sick...'  Sure enough, the Monday before set-up, I had it-BAD.  I ended up getting a Z-Pack from the Doctor, and thankfully it started helping me feel better.

Loading the trailer, in between boxes of kleenex, I started to feel like a happy Grinch-mainly because of my colorful trees that were stuffed in the back of the trailer.  

Wouldn't you feel like a happy Grinch, too?


Unloading the trailer at MPEC has always been quite the task, mainly because you have to drive over curbs and across sidewalks to get to the doors that are closest to my booth.  I was SO proud of myself this year though-I backed up the trailer without any help-AND it was straight and perfectly lined up with the entrance doors.  So I took a picture as evidence.  


Y'all have all heard me say it before, but I'll say it again: no one ever thinks that I'll be able to fit all of my cute things into my booth.  And by no one, I mean mostly everyone except friends and family who know that I just tend to make massive messes before things look put together.  


the chaos.
In fact, one of the security guards who was walking around during set-up commented that he was really impressed I fit it all in the booth.  Thank you, kind sir.

the greatness.

love love love these ornaments!  
One of my favorite ornaments that I personalized over the weekend was one of the new 'we're expecting' ornaments.  This excited woman and her husband recently found out they were expecting their first child--so we of course had to get an ornament to commemorate this special occasion!

This is the front, with the stork & banner that says 'We're Expecting'
and how cute is the back!?!?  ....arriving March 2013!  Congratulations!!


I am so incredibly grateful for all of the wonderful customers, old and new, who took the time to stop by my booth!  Especially for putting up with my many boxes of kleenex...sorry about that...
