Weekend happenings

Such is the case with my "seester" Aurora Skye. She was once technically my sister-in-law as she was at one time married to my husband's brother; however, that never mattered because from the very first time I met her we had a connection. Family came second after that. She and I will always have a close relationship even though we are no longer legally in-laws. 

Yesterday, we finally had a chance to spend some time together before the holidays and also exchange our gifts to one another ...

She gave me a wonderful gift bag of goodies! Among them were this cat book marker ...

This really cool cat bag ...

An awesome Yankee Candle which smelled GREAT! ...

Inside the cat bag, were two essential oils to help me with much I am currently going through at the moment ...

We did a little shopping and I found this cute little Hello Kitty Ceramic Christmas Tree to add to my holiday decorations this year ...

We also stopped off at Murdough's Christmas Barn and I bought these really cool items ...

These two Jim Shore treasures - the purrfect pumpkin and Peter Cotton Tail ...

Wednesday musings ...

Happy Wednesday, my friends! Just a quick little post for today. My co-worker and friend, Ms. Sonia, surprised today with this special gift bag of "goodies" for Christmas ...  

A mug filled with hot chocolate and marshmallows, a little bag of candy, and ...

A warm winter hat with a little bottle of spirit rolled up inside of it! LOL!! ...

A pic taken of us just today during first break at work.

And, a pic of us taken at her 60th Birthday Celebration last year!

This 'n' That

Greetings, friends. It has been a little while since I have posted, but in my defense, I am dealing with a lot of stressful issues lately which go far beyond the normal holiday crap and I will not bore you with them. Instead, I will make an attempt to focus on the positive if you will indulge me.   

I haven't had much time nor the room as of yet to actually put up my usual holiday decorations and so I did the best that I could ...

The sconce on the left is Green Man (Autumn) and the one on the right is Green Man (Winter).

My husband and I stopped by the Fairgrounds Square Farmer's Market two weeks ago and I picked up these delicious treats!

Hand baked fresh Chocolate brownies with mint icing and chocolate chips.

                                 Pumpkin spice cake.

And, my hubby brought home these maple snickerdoodle cookies ...

This past Friday, I was surprised by these gifts from two of my very thoughtful co-workers ... 

My personal trainer (and friend), and fellow Eeyore enthusiast, Deb, gifted me with this awesome Eeyore tooth fairy and small Pooh picture frame.  

And, another co-worker whose mother is currently fighting stage 2 breast cancer, surprised me with this sweet (and perfect!) gift bag ...

Complete with Grinch Christmas card, two talking pens (pens with sayings on them), a thank you owl, and Grinch Hershey Kisses ... HUGE HUGS!!

This particular pen is spot on because I am ALWAYS saying (both at home and at work) "Whose STUPID idea was THAT?" lol

Until next time, have a great rest of the weekend all!

Fun Friday!

 Wishing everyone a wonderful (and warm!) Friday!!

~ With love from Kitt 'n' Benny 💖

Weekend Happenings

Blessed Sunday all! It has been yet another BUSY weekend here! Yesterday, I spent the afternoon with my sister, Aurora Skye doing a bit of long overdue shopping for Small Business Saturday ...

Among our favorite places which we frequent was "Celtic Myth & Moonlight" ...

Greenman sconces on sale of Winter Solstice, Summer Solstice, and Autumn Equinox ...

At "The Mint Leaf", I found these cool pieces of jewelry ...

And, at TJ  Maxx, I found these items ...

 

Also this Saturday, we had some much needed work done at our home. A very excellent and reasonable certified arborist trimmed two of our trees VERY close to our house, and the road, as well as a dead maple tree in the back of our house ...

 

That same day, we also had to have an electrician come out to fix and replace both our switch and box in our garage. 

Have a good week everyone!

Thanksgiving Day (Part 2)

Greetings, friends! I hope that everyone had a nice holiday. As per every year my hubby, my MIL, and I had a delicious and lovely Thanksgiving dinner at his cousin's home. I brought along a little something for dessert - homemade Pumpkin Snickerdoodles baked by none other than my friend and co-worker, Chef Jesenia ... 

This year, the family also decided to do something a bit different - we enjoyed an ice cream cake to celebrate both my husband's birthday and his cousin's son-in-laws' birthday. The "85" on the cake was a reversed "58" as a joke on my hubby (which oddly enough was also the year he graduated from High School) - LOL! ...

This is a pic taken earlier before we left today of Benny and Kitt staying safe and semi-warm in our garage - complete with food, water, litter box, and bed! ...
