who, what, where, when?

My camera almost exploded this weekend, due to overwork! Thursday night was Leola's Christmas Open House, and Friday morning Inspirational Home started their Open House for Christmas. It's not too late if you haven't made it. They will both be open Sunday afternoon!

Here are pictures of some of us crazy area bloggers. Dulcy, Me (munchkin), Jan, and Katie. We were all squealing like little kids at Christmas, well, hey, it was Christmas!



(somebody give me a stool to stand on PLEASE!)

Mandy was there too, but didn't get her in for the group photo. I was standing beside her in this shot, but she is so pretty, and my picture was so goofy, that I opted out of this one. I'll let Mandy shine in this one.





But I wanted to show you the cute little hat I found at Leola's. I'm not really a "hat person", but I just couldn't resist! Pam makes the cutest accessories and T-shirts, and jackets! I'll be posting photos of all of her great creations soon. But had to show you this first.

Just had to give you a little tease!


I'm so excited!...
 I just got off the phone with Anne!
You know what it's like to talk to someone
that you feel like you've known your whole life,
 but never met?
That was us!
Love ya, Annie Girl


Have a great "rest of the weekend"!
Debra

  6. Sorry but you are a little vertically challenged. I love the hat picture but you really do look like one of your daughters -- or maybe a combination of both. The hat looks great on you. I worked today with Kenda & Judy & don't think I can remember being so tired. It was a beautiful & busy day -- thankfully. Thanks so much for coming in. Jan

  10. I know this sounds childish but...
    I WANT TO GO NEXT TIME.

    There is a slight geographical problem however.

    Hmmm.

  26. How lucky are you to go to such a beautiful store? And love the pic of you also! I want to make a gigantic road trip. All the wonderful stores by me like that have fallen victim to the economy.
