Some news to share! Well as you all know I am at moms. And if you're either a CTMH sistah, or a good friend of mine, then you know that we went shopping today for Black Friday. And well, aside from the HORRIFIC tragedy in Long Island, (more on THAT topic later - SHAME on you America!) we had a relatively uneventful day. However, Mom cleaned up on Black Friday specials, got ALL her christmas shopping done, and a little bit more...

Did anyone happen to catch the great sale Walmart was having on Digital camera's? Well, mom and I did, and we were pleasantly surprised to see that there were QUITE A FEW left of the particular camera we were looking for. The Kodak EasyShare ZD8612. YES Sir-eee I got a new camera for a mint of a price! YAY! I'm so thrilled. Mom and I now have matching Cameras. It's sooo awesome. 8.1 megapixels, and 12x zoom... I have so much to learn to play with this camera.. I think I'll be taking pics everywhere!

To celebrate - I'll show you the first pics I took, which is the project Rachele so graciously shared with me - and that I had to run out and make myself. I'm not sure what Rachele called this - other than Candy Cane Christmas, but I call it a Christmas Topiary, my mom calls it a Christmas Kissing ball. She's not overly thrilled with it, but I am! It was TIME consuming, I think it took me 5 hrs all said and done to put it together. I found a bottle of glittered snow that I put around the edge of the tin, and on the handles a bit. When that dries, I'll add the peppermints to it the way Rachele did. I'm really pleased with it - soon I'll figure out how to take better pictures of it and then you can see it much better. Anyway - just thought I'd post a bit of an update! Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! We're heading down to Old Forge tomorrow for an Adirondack Christmas which I'm really looking forward to :) Catch up when we get back!
