I’m not quite sure how I stumbled on to this. But, it’s kind of neat. Some of it’s a little silly, but I think it’s a great way to show you what handmade creations you can find for your friends. I believe it goes through and finds what your friends “like” on facebook and it shows you some gift ideas. Click here to try it for yourself.

I played around and found some cute things by looking up a few of my friends.

I like the Top Gun glasses on a stick!

I don’t know, what do you think Amy? I like the WA state pillow!

I like many things in her selection!

One thing that sort of sucks is you can’t look up yourself! Sometimes I find searching through Etsy a little overwhelming. It would be neat to see my stuff. Find stuff for your friends here.

Love,
Mama

Hey all! Don’t forget to enter your photo/card into the my Holiday Card/Photo Challenge! The last day to enter is Friday!!!

Driving to Washington on Tuesday…

We arrive to our destination to find leftover snow on the ground!

AND, to my VERY excited eyes… we wake up on Thanksgiving day to snow falling! I LOVE snow. Ruari has never been in snow. It DID snow last year on December 29th… But, Ruari was about 10 days old and had no idea what was going on. Snow sort of made everything a pain that day…. 4 hours to go a couple miles. Mike got home from work after driving 6 hours.

Ruari really wasn’t too impressed with the snow… mostly just annoyed with the 50 layers we put on her! Do you like her jacket? I LOVE it. I found it at a little thrift shop by my house for $5. 

For Thanksgiving dinner… Ruari tried turkey for the first time ever! Her first taste of meat. She really likes it (Ummm…. I’m not too sure I’m liking how horrible it makes her poo though!). Look at her cute outfit!

She wasn’t too sure about the Turkey at first….

BUT, she quickly decided it was awesome!

Mike and I like to wander the malls on Black Friday. Not so much on the shopping part… more on the people watching part! This was Ruari’s first year joining us!

Yeah… of course we had to stop for cupcakes! Man, I need to start working out.

Then… Mike and I got to go out for a couple of hours while his parents watched our screaming sweet baby.

That’s ALL folks! I really hope you all had a lovely weekend as well!
