What to do…

I have a great dilema!  What to spend my Christmas money on?  Here are a few things that I have my eye on….

  • POGO Printer-  It prints pictures instantly from your cell phone or digital camera.  Kinda of like the new and improved Polaroid Instamatic.  Love it!

money

  • A great looking workout outfit.  I need serious motivation to start training for the ING Half-Marathon in March.  I love Lucy.

money1

  • My very own Krispy Kreme doughnut machine.  You see why I have to run so much?

money2

  • Photofiddle – I love these…you have to look at their site.  They do amazing things with your photos.

Maybe I better just hang on to my $$ for a little while.  I might just find the perfect thing to spend it on.

I’m back!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas.  I had the opportunity to spend my special day in sunny Florida with 17 family members!!  It is nice to be back in Atlanta, checking out all of the neat things everyone got for Christmas.  Did you get anything unique?  My sister Amy lives in Belgium and brought my girls Kipling bags.  They are so cute!  Each one has a gorilla  attached to it that has its own name.  Apparently they are all the rage in Belgium…lucky for you…I found them on Amazon!

Merry Christmas!

I’m so excited!  Let’s have a giveaway!  Do you remember the Invisibelt that I featured a while ago?  It has been completely redesigned…a new clasp and  a new color choice.  I love, love, love this product!  It is a smooth plastic belt that nobody can tell you are wearing.  You know when you have those pants that want to keep getting lower during the day?  The Invisibelt will keep them where they belong.  This way you can wear a fitted top without having the bulk of a belt, never ever show your panties when you bend over, and wear your pants through all of your weight fluctuations.  You can choose from clear (naked)  or black (noir).  It adjusts to fit anyone…just make it bigger or smaller by moving the adjuster (just like adjusting your bra straps).  I want everyone of you to enter this giveaway.  Why?  Because I know you will love this product!  You won’t get signed up on any email lists or get any spam…you just get a chance to win an Invisibelt of your own.  I encourage you to go visit the Invisibelt website to see for yourself how amazing and genius this belt really is, then just leave me a comment with your thoughts.  That is it- easy!  I have 4 to giveaway – 2 naked, and 2 noir.  I will use a random number generator on Monday at 5 PM (December 22nd)  to pick our 4 lucky winners!!

I’m so lucky!

First of all, no freebies today.  I promise to put them up tomorrow.  Lucky me, I got to open a few early Christmas gifts this week!  My favorite was a flat wallet.  I had never heard of  a flat wallet before.  It is a hard flat wallet with slots for your money, credit cards, and change.  You push a button and it opens right up.  You can get them in many patterns and even monogrammed.  The fabric is covered in a laminate so it won’t get dirty and wipes clean.  Love it!!  A big thank you to my buddy Everett…he always picks out the best gifts :)

flatMy friends over at The Box Girls sent me some of their boxes of questions.  I just love these!!  My girls love pulling out the cards and going around the room asking questions.  At Thanksgiving, we put one card at everyone’s plate…and answer them during dinner. They are great conversation starters!   My gift was so generous that I am going to give a reader the chance to win their very own box of questions.  We will have that fun giveaway in January!

flat1I also received a Visa, Target, and  Starbuck’s gift cards.  Maddie registered my coffee cards on line at Starbucks last night for me.  Did you know that you can get free drinks occasionally if you register your gift card?  Thanks Maddie!  Gift cards really do make great gift!

The best news?  I am officially done with my Christmas & Birthday shopping!!  Riley’s Birthday is today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY RILEY!!!)  and Maddie’s is on January 12th (plus lots and lots of other Dec/Jan family birthdays!!)  Yipee!
