Christmas 2009 has come and gone and I’m already planning for 2010. This year, aside from a couple of rolls of wrapping paper, I didn’t do any shopping for decorations or gift wrap accoutrement. I took care of all of this last year in the week after Christmas.

You can have the best. You can have the best for less.

Holiday Fuggs and Uggs
I received a comment earlier today requesting information on where to find discount Uggs, and since there aren’t any good deals to be found on this fine day, I thought I would go on an e-Ugg finding mission instead.
Here’s the deal – Uggs don’t really go on sale at this time of year because EVERYONE [...]

Etsy Monday: Chocolate
One of the easiest gifts to give for pretty much anyone is chocolate. No, I’m not talking about a Hershey’s bar, but instead chocolate that requires a little bit of thought.
