Get it while it's HOT!!!

For the past couple weekends since Christmas I have been hitting up all the clearance areas!!! Believe me this year I scored some cute and cheap things....

First off: these glasses I found at Pier 1 for a wopping 2.00 each..... they were 50% off... and if you know me already... polka dots??? (my meth in decor form :) Not included in the picture is a 2010 hand painted ornament with the Three Wise Men.. in it's own storage box! It was normally 12.00... i was able to get it for our tree next year for a basement price of $3.00!!!!!

this year i didn't buy anything new for our tree or house.... I like to get things on sale and couldn't imageine paying 12.99 ($3.25) for each pillow.... 9.99 ($2.50) for the platter... 2.99 (.75) for each bowl.... and 19.99 ($5.00)for the Christmas Tree decor.... all of it... GET THIS!!! was 75% off @ Tar-jay... and I was even able to get a Douglass Fir tree that was normally 200.00 dollars for 40.00 (Since the box was open they gave us an additional 20% off the fifty dollar seventy percent off price)!!! YAY!.... now to box it up and twiddle my thumbs until next year to see it :)

get out while it's hot and get some!!!

Answers about the video...

1. how did i do it? well.... Channeling the inner-geek was pretty tough, however the FLIP camera (and there may be more like them) have the software built in; making it super easy for editing/producing.... once i edited each movie clip... i had to decide which recording clips were going to be in the video... super hard process for me..... i wanted it all.... well obviously i gave in and got it done... I'm so sorry to those that saw the lovely red recording button blinking and you were not a starring actor/actress.... it was based on time... the summary of the day.... (i still love you :)

i then had to finally set up an iTunes account... and yes i did..... I'm not a person who owns an mp3 player or an ipod.... i still love live radio and cd's... i know pretty pathetic... once that was done i combined them on the flip software in movie mode... and added it to a vimeo account... viola... "24 hours in Flagstaff"

2. Is that dog on Brennen's lap a new addition? sorry... but as cute as she is she belongs to my brother's... she is a lover and we enjoyed every minute we got to spend with her....

3. Why were there ambulance and police at the sledding area? no cool story or explanation... when we got there a lady was sitting awkwardly from a bad landing and was eventually hauled off on a stretcher.... i definitely hope she is better!

4. Who loves polka dots? well easy question... that's me... I'm a sucker for polka dots and secretly have an obsession with them.... :)

5. Did Aaron eat that entire sushi piece he put in his mouth? haha! yes he sure did.. he is a firm believer in not taking a bite in any sushi roll.... it apparently ruins the flavor explosion.... haha!

btw.... a big THANKS for all the rave reviews.... and yes... watch out Mel and Steven, Shannon's Shaky Hand Productions are coming to get'cha!


XOXO, Shan
