51 days until Christmas

So the countdown begins.... Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Maybe your one of the organized people that has finished shopping & wrapping. Now you can easily cruise through the holiday season stress free.

Well I'm somewhere in the middle, I usually try to have my shopping finished by this time of year. But & that is a big BUT - this year I only have a few gifts bought & none are wrapped. With baby Hope on the way (27 days to go), she's been the only thing I've thought about. Heck with 27 days left until the due date - we still don't have all the things bought for her yet. Getting there though.

Anyhow - back to Christmas, I figured over the next few weeks the blog would just be about great christmas outfits, jewelry & gifts of course. Maybe help you find that special something for yourself or a picky in-law. God knows shopping can drive the most laid back person insane when choosing gifts.

Our gift lists stands at about 50 people - we're one of those families that still gives every single person a gift. Course as we 14 grandchildren have kids, it's getting harder & harder to keep up the pace.

So without further chattering, I'll show off some great pieces for dressing up for the the Holiday Parties...

Offered by Pinkdragonfly98 on Etsy.com

A lovely fruitcake vintage necklace - I simply love the way the colors pop on this necklace. It would look wonderful traveling to a holiday party.
