i was given the task of getting joelle some dress-up clothes for christmas. this evening i went to value village (per joy's instructed) and found her an assortment. the only thing i didn't manage to find that i know we loved as kids were some shoes or boots. although, i only got about 4 or 5 skirts/dresses, BECAUSE i came across a trunk. so i've bought her a "tickle trunk" like mr. dress-up. if any of you have some clothes you'd like to get rid of that you think a 3 year old and some little girl friends might enjoy, please be in touch :) i'm going to go thru the 2 bags of clothes i have stored at my mom's place.
i went to value village in search of some curtains for my dad, but came out with curtains for myself. they're really quite beautiful. they're for my bedroom and my utility space. they're red. i'm starting to wonder if i have too much red in my house. i used to always lean towards blues and greens, but i was trying to break that trend. i also really like how warm red is. the fabric i selected for my kitchen chairs are also a burgundy. see?? red. it has little retro flowers on it :D
if we have to manipulate something to get our own way, maybe we just shouldn't have it. mental note: if i start manipulating, time to stop.
well i'm officially on vacation. nice. although, i have a bunch to do tomorrow and i'm kicking myself for leaving the standard to the last minute. whoopsy. i should go to bed. its pretty late. i want to sleep in AND get lots done. good luck les :p
leave your things behind.

what an awesome gift to give a child! dress up clothes! I always loved dress up. My mom used to let us dress up in her wedding gown. so elegant.
hope that you get all the things that you need to get done done!
thank goodness for holidays!
thanks! enjoy your holiday too! you might need those clothes in a year or two for maya! time will fly! but if you wanna send them my way, that would be great.
a wedding gown would be hilarious! hahahaha. just imagining that entertains me a great deal. maybe i should suggest that to joy. although, i think she's saving her dress for me.
