Can you believe only 20 more day until Christmas! I have done NO shopping and have no idea when I am going or what I am getting. I starting to panic a little. I do not want to be at the mall the days before Christmas. My tree is up and lights on it(1200 lights) and on Tuesday one strand of lights went out and the whole tree went dark.....GRRRRR! Some time this week I also want to finish decorating the house.  SO much to do and so little time.

It is never ending!  I know some day I am going to miss all this  craziness.

It's fairly new, but is growing pretty fast and I am SOOO enjoying creating these little whimsies for YOU!

You are able to find more of Jenn's sweet and  whimsical images at her shop or on her blog.
