snippets of joy

The first four days of freedom have been heavenly. 

scrumptious vanilla cupcake with the cutest  lil' gingerbread man (not tastiest, does anyone even like fondant?)

Don't you just love the peppermint filled display case? It made for the perfect holiday backdrop.

our stout tree. Which is generating many a headache thanks to Doakes chewing off the branches. He doesn't seem to understand that this tree is not in the park & is therefore off limits. 

Early Christmas present from my hubs! This coat had been on my anthro wish list from the get go. Never did I think it would become a reality. Elegant, ladylike & coral: love, love, love.

Which leads me to the cutest, daintiest card. More than using it to show gratitude, I want to frame this sweet Jackie-O lady!


Instead of typing, I should be packing. Except that...what does one wear in 30 degree weather other than thermals, hoodies & boots with the fur? This white Christmas better lead to fun snow fights & snow angels, if not I am going to be really disappointed.
