First Picture with Santa
Thursday, November 29
Dexter was THRILLED to meet Santa and had all kinds of questions for him like how does his sled fly and where will he be when. Maxwell wasn't so sure. Santa's expression and posture says it all.
Sander and Whitney's Christmas Vacation!
We decided that this year was the year to cut down our own Christmas tree! Dewberry Farms is outside of Houston and was well worth the trip. The day we went was absolutely beautiful! 50 degrees, sunny, and we got there early enough that it wasn't too crowded.
On the hay ride about to head out to find a Christmas tree!
I just love their little faces!
We found our tree! We went for a smaller one so it would sit on a table in the front room. It just works better that way with little ones.
The boys cutting down the tree.
The tractor was a huge attraction for Maxwell...
And Dexter.
Merry Christmas Season all!

We headed to Dewberry Farms Saturday to cut our own tree. I took lots of "real" pictures which I will post soon, but here are a few of the Instagrams I took on my phone.

Dexter operating the play diggers. He loved it! He said, "Mom, look, I am a construction worker!"

The
Sample Sale Will Begin Nov. 4th at 4pm!
If you have been to one of my shows,
you know I have a few too many items to display well. After a painstaking
process, I decided to go ahead and part with a few items, even though they are
huge favorites and still selling well. Most of these items are still
available, full price, on the website! Hope you enjoy them and they make
a great gift for you or someone you love.
If you are looking for a certain
item, you can click the label in the right hand column, a little ways
down. You can search by Noonday Sample Sale Bracelet, etc.
Here is a quick reminder of the
"rules"
- Each item will be posted separately.
- Each item will be tagged as "necklace",
"bracelet", etc. So if you are looking for a specific item,
please click on the appropriate tag on the right.
- If you want to purchase an item, please leave a comment
with your email address. If you want multiple items, leave a comment on
each item.
- FIRST COMMENT "WINS"!
- If you see an item up that you want but it has an email
address in the comments, go ahead and leave a comment with your email
address as that will serve as a "waiting list" if the first
person doesn't make their payment in the allotted time.
- After commenting I will email you a paypal receipt
(probably around 10pm tonight). This will enable you to pay for
the item via credit card or paypal.
- You MUST pay for the item within 24 hours of receiving
the invoice, or I will re-post the item for sale.
- I will leave all items up until payment has been received.
I will remove an item once payment has been received.

meet up, or have me mail it. I will add $6.00 shipping to your invoice if
you request to mail it.
