All Wrapped Up

Christmas was great. Family, food,, fun what more could a girl ask for? My husband even came thru on the present front, a Kuerig! I don't drink too much coffee but I've had approximately 465 cups since Christmas, I think I may be addicted😄. 
Remember those Spode dishes I told you about? Well I sold them (8 plates, 8 cups and 8 saucers) on Christmas Day for what I paid for them so I'm thinking cool right? I got my money back. Wrong! First off I BADLY miscalculated shipping. I put the weight as 5lbs. Um let's try 17lbs! I must have been in some sort of sugar induced high when I listed that. So it cost me $26.00 out of my own very broke pocket to ship. That's bad enough but I also forgot that one of the dang kitties broke one of the saucers. Um, whoops. So I had to go on eBay and BUY her a new saucer and have it shipped. Another $8.00. Oh well, I did get to use them on Christmas Eve. Please, if I ever decide to list dishes again someone quick punch me in the face. 
I have no pictures to go with this post so here are some random things to make you smile
Nix (Kitty # 1) as a tree topper (notice Luna (kitty # 2) to the left looking up in admiration of Nix's killer climbing skills) Her face is bathed in a heavenly glow cuz she's such an angel. Ha! I could not wait to get that tree down and it was down and put away before lunch yesterday! 
My daughter and her boyfriend at their Tacky Chrustmas party. I think they were trying to look mean like that, but not sure why.  Funny story, I have been buying those damn ugly sweaters for a few years. I think I had about 25 of them and I was SICK of them. So I gave them all to her. She took them to college and posted them on FB and sold them all in a week! Used the money she made for Christmas presents (smart girl)

My daughter found this on etsy and wanted to give it to her friend. So I drew it on some fabric and made it myself. Wasn't about to fork out $35.00 for something I could do. Here's my version
Close enough. I have no idea what it means but then again I'm not 19 anymore. Sad but true :(
And lastly this, which cracked me up

Have a great week and enjoy the heck out of your NEW YEARS!
