Uhhh, how awesome are these glasss. When you fill them up, they look like little ones are actually swimming a swim around in your glass!
I love them. I would like to have them. They are helping me out on this major league cold/snowy/windy/flakes in your face, Ohio day...
'But since we've no place to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...'
Ho Ho Ho...I mean, Hello.
I have been regularly singing Christmas tunes, and Santa's known phrase around the house, something I am positive my husband loves....
...I bet he loves it even more when each day I sing Mariah Carey's, 'All I want for Christmas...', and each day I end it differently, always with something very expensive and needed...just kidding, just kidding guys! But not about the singing, just ask him about the singing...
Okay, well onward we push ---> to Thursday!
Happy Holiday Challenge Day Four!
Do A Good Deed Anonymously
Whoa Baby! This is a good one if you ask me! Especially for the time of year. Usually everyone is mildly on edge, given the hustle and bustle, and we cut eachother off, have our own agenda and do not take the time to be as kind as we know we can be to others. Let's remember that person cutting you off on the highway, might be rushing to welcome their baby into the world, or missed a conference call, or forgot to pick up his kids - we just never know, do we?
So let's be that one PERSON, that person that stands out.
The PERSON who a stranger goes home tonight and says,
'honey, you'll never guess what someone did for me today...'
Aren't we all called to be that PERSON?
It's just hard to always remember, I know, we can all relate!
But today, if only for today, let's be that PERSON - won't you join me? :)
Goodluck - And remember, we want to hear about it!

I want...this fish bowl, to keep my fish in, that I don't have. But I still want it! I want...these adorable wooden creations made of different cities, Paris, yes! I want to set them on my coffee table and stare at them. I really do. I want...these waaay too cute pear salt n peppa shakers, because we honestly don't have a salt and peppa shaker, weird, I know, I know. I think it's like against a law, but that means we are definitely breaking it.
Okay, so the final step is...leave your name, number, and credit card information and tell me which one you would like to purchase for me.
What? You don't want me to know which one you are getting me?
Ohhh, I get it, you are buying me all of them? That's way sweet of you. Remember I live in Ohio, so wherever you live, they need to be shipped SOON! Okay, thanks, I love you guys too :)
Woo Wee! Was Challenge Two a toughy? I thought it was a little tougher than Challenge One, but at least we got to use our creative side! Did you? What did you make? What did you hang on your mesmirizing tree? I used something that is natural and reminds me of my Mother and Grandmother :) It makes my heart all warm and fuzzy, especially when I miss my Grandma on Holidays like this...
Okay, let's keep it rolling!
Happy Holiday Challenge Three!
In Your Prayers Today, Give Thanks For Every Blessing Without Asking For Anything
Hmm, tricky, isn't it?! But how often do we really thank our lucky stars for what we have in life, daily, and not just ask for one teeny weeny little favor in return?
I am a firm believer in, 'you only get, what you give'...because I know, somewhere, somehow, someone is watching us. When I keep that in the back of my mind, it always helps me to be the best person I can be.
So today, let's give thanks for everything that makes us smile
and feel so blessed this holiday season <3
So, how was it? It wasn't really THAT hard was it? I mean, it just kind of makes you realize what we all sometimes take for granted, and just how important it is to tell the people we love...that we LOVE them :)
Great job everyone - One down, Eleven to go!
Happy Holiday Challenge Two!
Make A Tree Decoration That Will Remind You Of The Real Reason For The Season
Make any sort of decoration, something small that reminds you of family, something religious that reminds you all that is around you, I think you get the idea! I know you might be thinking, 'hey chica, I don't have TIME to sit down and MAKE a decoration!'
Well poo on you - yes you do! Place a picture that holds a special place in your heart on that tree, or even dig out something that hasn't been hung on that sparkling tree in awhile, be creative - the day is yours :)
And so it begins - Happy Holiday Challenge One!
Tell Someone You Love Them
Sounds simple, right?
But how often do we really tell people, day to day, that we love them?
So give it a go - and let's see what you come up with! Write it in a note, send it in an email, tweet it, call them up, tell them face to face, or plant a big ole smooch on someone :)
Please don't be shy - We want to see the love!
So tell us how you completed your Challenge Day One!
Happy Holiday Challenge Eve Everyone!
Just reminding everyone of the
Happy Holiday Challenge
that begins tomorrow

Have you been good this year? Wait! I mean really, have you been good, kind, thoughtful, caring, compassionate, understanding, loving, giving, all that and more? See, I thought so...
Of course most of us have the best intentions,
but do we really carry them out throughout the whole year?
No matter how sweet we THINK we are, there is always room for improvement, wouldn't you agree?
So I say, let's improve, let's give 2010 one last 'hooray' from each and every one of us before we ring in 2011 - won't you join me?
Starting Monday, December 13th, I will be hosting the FIRST EVER -
HAPPY HOLIDAY CHALLENGE
Each day will be a new task, goal, act, deed, or something of the sort, and I want you all to share them, spread the love (just like the frosting on those cut-out cookies!) with all of us!
You can join on Facebook, Twitter, or the Blog - and we hope to help inspire each and every one of you, to look around, and see what just a little sprinkle of sweetness to another person can do for everyone :)
