The thing I wanted most for Christmas was not inside Santa’s giant bag. What I wanted more than anything was one silver bell from Santa’s sleigh.
Am I the only one who has never seen this movie?? I really want to know what that quote is referring to, so it looks as if I have one more thing to add to my Christmas list this year!!

With Christmas just around the corner, my thoughts always return to my little sister. She was one of those women who had that special smile and I’m pretty certain that she is now someone’s guardian angel. So, with Cindy in mind, I went looking for some quotes about angels. I hope that you enjoy them.
A woman has two smiles that an angel might envy, the smile that accepts a lover before words are uttered, and the smile that lights on the first born babe, and assures it of a mother’s love.”
Thomas C. Haliburton

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”

Oh, oh… I think that man was writing about me. I should write down that quote and frame it. But I can’t help it… I love shopping! It’s my very favorite fun thing to do.

I really can’t imagine how there are people out there who don’t like shopping?? And especially like this time of year, but I have to admit, Britt and I were at the mall on Thursday (I missed a day!!) and we saw so many women who obviously weren’t having a good time. Now tell me, what is there not to like?? You shop, you have lunch, you shop some more, you have coffee and then you might even decide to go out for dinner to top off the entire night.
But Britt and I were good on Thursday. We actually …read more

As the holiday season approaches, I find myself thinking more and more about the topic of… happiness and what it means.
Happiness is produced not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur ever day
Benjamen Franklin
Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

What’s the use of worrying?
It never was worth while,
So pack up your troubles in your old kit-bag,
And smile, smile, smile.

Yes, it’s National Cotton Candy Day but I have to admit, I don’t know how this particular holiday ended up in December. If you think about it, cotton candy is usually, pink or blue. Now if someone could come up with red and green cotton candy, well, then I think that munching down of this sugary fluff would be very Christmasy!
Have you ever seen Christmas colored candy floss??

Can’t help it, when December hits, all I can think about is shopping. Actually, I have been doing it all year long, but you always find just one more think that would be just perfect, and for today, I found just a few little extras that I wouldn’t mind keeping. Yes, I have a habit of buying stuff for myself too! I have been very, very good this year!!

Chin Deep in Bubbles is about all the little luxuries that you can and should experince everyday! My favorite has to be the recipe for French Patisserie Spa Brownies… it’s just full of all kinds of decadent ingredients and if you can’t get decadent at Christmas time, when can you??
And of course I would have a book about the topic. According to my husband, there isn’t a topic that I don’t have something on. I think he’s wrong, but I have to admit that I picked up another book for myself yesterday when I was supposed to be buying …read more

No, I don’t know Don, but I often visit his wife Cassie and she was raving about these appetizers that Don whiped up for Thanksgiving and just how good they are.
Well, I don’t even like seafood and they are beginning to sound good even to me. So, if you are thinking about what to serve at any of your get-togethers in the coming month, check out Cassie’s husband’s appetizers and then let me know how they turn out. If enough people rave about them, I just might have to let go of this thing I have with seafood and give …read more
While I was sitting in the mall yesterday, I think the caffeine kicked in and an idea for a novel just popped into my head. But having no patience, I think that I would need help! I have heard about these 30 day novel ideas and always wondered what I could turn out in that short a time. Might be perfect for the writer with no patience!
