I just wanted to write a brief post commemorating Small Business Saturday….this is new territory for me and I’m happy to report that SBS was a success in my book! I fulfilled a few orders and watched a lot of college football with the fam. Black Friday was also fabulous, but for entirely different reasons. After a wonderful Thanksgiving with family in Atlanta, the kids and I were eager to burn off some energy (them) and calories (me), so we took advantage of the warm, sunny weather and biked along the Swamp Rabbit Trail. It’s been a fun, relaxing, rewarding Thanksgiving break and we still have one day left!
These cousins take their NCAA football seriously!

My cousin and I both married boys from Michigan (random) and they both enjoy a spirited game of Euchre. I’m sad to say that the guys beat the ladies, but I’m even sadder to report that they cheated!

Some hostess gifts that were picked up just before the holiday

Some black Friday orders


Our Swamp Rabbit adventure…such a pretty fall day in SC!


More Small Business Saturday orders…lots of dog stockings and personalized travel soap tins.


I’ve had so much fun monogramming Caboodles the past week. Takes me right back to my middle school days.

Who wouldn’t love a monogrammed umbrella!?!? I’ve actually gotten orders for a few more of these. They are sure to brighten a rainy day.
