* Oooh Sparkly *

I’m horrible at making flower arrangements, including fake ones, so I waffled over this one for quite some time, not knowing what sort of stems to add, where to put what…
I just knew I wanted to use the little lighted branch in a Christmas arrangement.
So Friday night, I hunkered down and just started stabbing, bending, shaping and twisting.  I think it came out okay.  The lights are very forgiving.  It’s definitely festive.  And sparkly.  Success!

The Dreaded White Elephant Gift Exchange

I just hate that when you open a gift you have to examine it knowing you may not end up with it.  You can’t afford to get too attached.  Although…sometimes that’s a good thing.
I ended up with these socks, among a few other things.  Not sure I’ll ever wear them out, but they’re warm.  And festive.  And fur-lined.  I’m like Santa’s crazy-sock helper.

A Candid Shot

A shopping mall Santa in captivity.  (At least a skillfully camouflaged fan has been supplied.)
