Christmas is over. But that doesn’t mean the giving is.
I did a little shopping yesterday… not to return anything, but to look around. It’s what I do after Christmas.
Shop. It’s much more fun to shop after Christmas than before. The stress is gone and the sales are still on.
And if something catches my eye like a towering stack of satin pink leopard print jewelry boxes…
… well, I’ll take a few extra minutes and look through all the designs.
And if there happens to be something like a super-cute cupcake necklace staring right back at me, then I guess you know what happens next.
Awwe…… How could I resist. It’s just the cutest little thing.
And it comes in the cutest little box.
And then there’s all this cute dangly stuff to boot. Did I mention how cute this thing is?
But I didn’t get it for me. I thought I would give it to one of you. So who wants it?
