Words from the Editor

Christmas is upon us! I have, at the insistence of my monkey, adopted an Elf on the Shelf who has been named "Millo". I am not a Pinterest parent- I have spent, most nights, less than 5 minutes setting him up. One night I spelled out a message in Smarties that might have taken 10 minutes (and murdered my back- oy) But the boy is happy as can be about it. He insisted that if Elves were real and had magic, then Santa was real. I'm not ready to burst his bubble yet. Any (easy) Elf ideas?? I'd love to hear em!

Did you do Uptown Sparkles? I checked out some stores and they are so pretty!! I loved seeing everyone out supporting our local stores!

Don't forget! We have wishlists and gift certificates in store! We'd love to see you!

Happy Holidays!!! Whatever day you celebrate may it be filled with light and laughter <3

Geek on!!!
