bye 2008!

 I’m crafting up a storm here, finishing up layouts for my BPS class starting in just 30 days. So I’m doing a lot of thinking back of 2008, and I am in awe at how very much went down. This is indeed a year to remember. My walk down memory lane at this moment must be short- work calls- but I’m going to direct you to two FABULOUS posts that made my day yesterday:

Meg Cabot (oh how I love her) summed up some great ’08 points and movies as only she can.

Cathy Z talks about being ‘puffy’, and I’m right there with her! I’m down 25lbs since this time last year, but it should be more, lots more and I’m a workin’ on it!!

I’m back to work- don’t get too wild!

a moment for plum.

So, if you’re a Plum fan like me then you’re doing a antsy-dance because in 1 week the newest book (Plum Spooky) will be out. Ok, it’s a ‘between the numbers’, but still a full length fabulous adventure. I’m excited. In honor of that, I thought I’d share a few ‘plum’ happenings I’ve found.

First the 12 days of Christmas- plum style. totally cracked me up.

Now for a shirt I stumbled across…

I’m actually considering a shirt like this for gym wear. The inside joke of it (for us Plum fans) would be awfully tempting. I’m still thinking.

For all you non-fans I promise to resume normal posting now. Even if my thoughts are on countdown ’till new plum ‘venture…

One last prize…

for 2008, that is! I’ve got plenty of fun in mind for 2009, but we won’t worry about that now. Right now, we’ll just think about ’08, and the one more prize.

A whole lot of fun stuff here… just leave a comment to be entered! I’ll draw a winner on 12/31.

(holy smokes, is 2008 really almost over???)

the scary princess.

I got Elizabeth this super lovely and cool horse that walks with the wave of a want. Totally magical- I love it and so does she. She’s having a lot of fun playing with her.

(but) she wishes she had the princess aurora doll that matches. I can dig that, and she has Christmas money to spend so what better way? I picked up the doll (who comes with fairies- so cute) today.

Alright, here’s where the scary comes in. If you lift the lovely “Princess Aurora who’s last name must be Sleeping Beauty” ‘s dress you see this.

Bionic Sleeping beauty? It creeps me out just a bit, and I’ve nicknamed her scary princess. Of course she isn’t my doll, so I am keeping my opinions to myself. Except to share with you.

Hoping you had a holiday full of magic, wonder, happiness, and just a touch of the scary. Because it wouldn’t be Christmas here without something odd!
