A few late night Thursday things

I'm totally tickled PINK to have an item from my etsy shop, The Merry Magpie, included in this fun Chic Geek column by Delia Hauser! My item is #4 in the Wrapping section, a set of darling vintage Christmas gift boxes. I have those and a ton of other cute vintage Christmas items in my shop right now.

I'm still waiting for an email from the winner of the Mickey Mouse puzzle, Mabel. Please send your address to fraulein_h at hotmail and all that so I can get it in the mail! Today would have been a perfect puzzle day here. It started snowing at 7 am and left us with about 6" of powdery, fluffy snow. I shoveled the driveway so that The Mister could get in after work and it was like shoveling cotton batting! It looked exactly like the bag of fake snow I have for decorating and sparkled just like German glass glitter. It was COLD but absolutely beautiful! The gentle glow of Christmas lights reflected in snow has to be one of the most peaceful sights ever, don't you think?
