The chocolate chips in my life: crafts, grandkids, friends, family, scrapbooking, reading, stamping, Red Hats, thrifting, and I even get on my soapbox on occasion.

I'm Lovin' It!
What is it that I'm lovin? ......lots.......got to see most of my grand kids for Christmas (so far) and will see the remaining 3 soon.....watched 2 of 3 Christmas concerts.......and the weather has been unseasonable nice!!! NO SNOW to dig out from under (yet).
I don't mind one bit not having snow for Christmas, in fact I like the greenish grass bare. Yesterday I drove to my daughter's to watch my granddaughters concert. It was a long day, I left at 9AM and arrived home at 6:45PM. It was in the mid 30's with sunshine part of the day, my coat stayed in the car, a sweater was fine. I had to do a little shopping on the way there and again on the way home....because I didn't leave as early as I wanted to.
I didn't stay at Amy's after the program because the kids wanted to go to their tae kwon do party and Amy wasn't feeling too good either.
I stopped at these shops (first time ever in 15 years that I have been driving past) to see if I could get a good Christmas decoration photo...but as I was turning around I spotted the last shop-a St Vincent de Paul store....so I had to stop in. It was really nice....and....I found some red flats that I had been looking for and some shoes for one of my grandsons. Both pairs of shoes were like new. I also picked up 3 other little things.....for a grand total of under $5. I think God likes me to be a thrifty shopper because so many times he puts those things I am looking for right in front of me.
