if I can't even make it through the trailer without crying...

...i know i am gonna love this movie.
bring on the popcorn and tissue.
I used to love curling up, knees to my chest, in my butter stained seat at the theaters and breathing in an amazing love story.
A self date is in my near future, i can feel it.

Are there any movies you are anxious to see this holiday season?

they referred to me as a space ranger.

and clearly, i took my job very seriously.

dang...i ♥ Disneyland!

excess is good once a year though right?

Happy turkey day.
eat well.
love much.
shop big tomorrow!

tis the season.

After continually being hit in the face with Homemade Christmas ideas...
( see here and here)
I took five minutes today, yes only 5, and made this little cutie for our tree.
Using the vintage buttons J and I found last week.
Love it.
She needs friends now.
Are you making anything festive these days?

free is good.

with a little Goo Gone,
some Simple Green,
and love,
this little guy is gonna be warmly welcomed by the rest of my scrap area.
and it does my heart good that i saved him from the metal scrapyard smusher machine too.

a good day.

recipe is as follows.

2 go with the flow children.
2 crafty friends.
4 servings of hole in the wall mexican food.
a dash of money.
and a pinch of luck for finding treasures.

let mix for at least 1o hours and enjoy.

yummy.

hey, thats me!
