{fallen off the wagon. already.}

okay, so i am breaking my fast - but, just a quick break. i had to get a plug in! today i ran by creative kitchen to pick up a couple of the elf of the shelf sets as christmas gifts. she's pretty certain that i got the last two; but, she is ordering more. if you want one you may want to call ahead and have her put your name on it. they are that cute guys!

oh.my.goodness! i had never been in there before! i love it! i bought several little items, mostly for christmas...a few for me. ;) for christmas, so that makes it okay, right? i got scott some "onion goggles". seriously. he cannot be around onions AT ALL when they are being chopped or it will pretty much guarantee a migraine. problem solved! i'm not sure if they are really for him or for my benefit, it's a toss up! then, i got someone (no name mentioned) a "butter bowl" it is a cute little red ceramic dish that you add a stick of REAL butter and a measurement of water. the water seals it shut and you can leave it safely out of the fridge as it is tightly sealed. soft butter at a moments notice. may sound strange, but the recipient will love it. because, she loves butter. let's see....i also got THE CUTEST recipe holder for someone that has been looking for THE CUTEST recipe holder. did i say it was very cute? hmmmmm.......they also have all of these neat cooking gadgets - measuring utensils, whisks, scrapers, etc for older people or those who have difficulty with using their hands/arm (ie. my mom from the fracture last year). she cannot stir things well, cannot open things at all....will be perfect! they also have the cute little "chalkboard" signs. that was what i got for me.....i can write the boys notes, happy whatever, i love you's - it will be fun. and, disposible cups for get togethers that have "labels" to write your name to avoid a mix-up with an uncle with a cold. thoughtful things too. ;)

and, if either of you know the owners Jaime or Jennifer........super sweet and fun! and, they did not even ask me to write this. just some really cute finds in a complete range of prices all at one stop. i love that! just wanted to share.
