Gifts part 2

Today are the gifts that I got from Amanda.

She gave me two new additions to my Christmas village. A train and a greenhouse. There was also some  foaming hand soap from Bath and Body works and that pretty blue sweater that she tried to give to Presley. I just realized that I forgot to include the purse she gave me in the picture. Probably because I'm already using it.

Happy New Year

No celebration here. I didn't even stay up late enough to see the ball drop. Welcoming in the New Year when I get up is enough for me. I do have the day off since I asked if we could be closed today. There is no point in being there anyway  Hardly anyone comes in and most walk out with nothing because we have so little left in the store

However you choose to celebrate, I wish you a year filled with good things

this is an AI picture I snagged from a Facebook group I belong to. 

And this is one that I created in Procreate.

Gifts part 1

Due to a lack of blog material I'm going to show you the gifts I got for Christmas but I'm going to break it up into three posts. 

Today I have the gifts from the girls at work. 

On the left  are the gifts from Kelly, the deli manager. She got me two Yankee candles, a diamond painting kit, a hot air balloon solar light and a candle warmer.

On the left was from Debbie in the deli. There was a wax tart warmer and a box of wax tarts

I also got gifts from two customers. One gave me a table runner

And from another customer I got candy and $5.

So many people I am going to miss when the store çloses.

Family photo

 Every year when we get together for Christmas eve, I insist on doing a group photo. They aren't great photography but it's nice to see us all in one shot. I set up my big camera on the tripod and set the timer.

Everyone was gathering on the couch and as I was getting the camera ready I told them all that I couldn't sit on the floor but they had already decided that I was sitting in the middle of the couch with Presley on my lap.

This is an edited photo of course.

After the timer went off on this I said how about one more and lets make it a silly one. This is what we got. Notice everyone has their tongue stuck out except for Amanda. We'll have to work on teaching her silly This one is also an edited photo.
