Yep, its cold in Ohio. But not this cold....Jim, my daughters boyfriend loves odd ball hats....and this sure hits the mark. Please know this is all yarn and acrylic...no animals were harmed making this lovely headpiece.

Made our trip to Canton without a hitch this morning ...ice, snow,dark of night.....but Scott got a wonderful report......and this was our last visit to the surgeon.....wonderful doctor but the 6:30 a.m. appointments.......... yikes

Next stop.....craft store......hurrah...it has been way too long my friend. it was strange....sparkles & shiny called my name and I followed....hey, it is valentines day we're takin' about, ya know.

I have two favorite shops, @ home in Savannah and the Blissful in Canton and one is closing........snif.....the owner of the Blissful has other interests. My daughter and I are sure gona miss visiting Abby and drooling over the goodies in her wonderful shop. Next week we will have to stop in check out the sale and say our sad goodbyes.

Well, it is another snowy Ohio day. The days are flying by right into the gift-o-rama exchange....and am I working feverishly on my gifts for my friends ? OH NO, I goofed around today and made a snowman....and yes, of course I know panic will set in and this chick will be frothing at the mouth the very night before I need those gifts. Why can't I stay focused....because I am a flibbertigibbet ! The pattern for the snowman will be for sale on etsy

Yesterday, my friend Stella and I went to Amish country hunting just the right gift for my daughter,Chrissy. I did find some small things but not the "IT" gift.....last year it was an antique dress form and it was perfect. Things were kind of quiet in the usually bustling Berlin, but it was Monday, I suppose. On the way home we made an emergency stop for ice cream and the best coffee at Wallhouse in Sugarcreek, ice cream always consoles a sad shopper, and nothing is as depressing as embarking on a Christmas shopping quest and coming home empty handed.

I loved the clip art shoe Cindy put on the blog...I think everyone ought to use that piece on an A.T.C and send them to ME.....that is a wonderful idea.....she has the whole sheet for sale on her etsy site. http://www.lifeoneuropa.etsy.com/

I hope everyone has a fabulous Thanksgiving and survives black friday.....
