White Lighting, A Swap, And Mr. Jingles is Here

Well don't ever let Size fool you when it comes to SPEED!!!! OH my word I almost had a Heart Attack!
Everyday when the Mail Carrier picks up my boxes, the minute they hear her Honk her horn, when she drives in the driveway they get all Excited!! So about noon today they alert me that there is a honk? So I open the door and out they go. But WAIT!!! Boxes are now on the deck and I am taking off down the road.

There was this huge Brown dog chasing a car and they were the ones honking not the mail Carrier. Rango and Shelby are on their tails going down the middle of the road?? OMG...........I take off I know that by shouting out Shelby will stop, she minds!! Rango on the other hand is still going, Here I am in my PJ'S yup it is a PJ day girls!! And house shoes chasing after Rango I twisted my already messed up ankle *UGH age and a past injury that I pay for in Pain* So I stop in my tracks but continue to yell out to Rango, I look up and there She is running towards me with the Big Brown dog on her REAR!! Good thing I was there he was just fixing to take a chunk out of her back side when I screamed!!! I went to scoop her up and she turns around to yap at the big dog more........She thinks she is tough at 9 pounds and she can handle anything!! I was so upset by the time I got hold of her I did not even scold her for taking off.

So we come inside, get settled after I let my Heart Rate get back to normal. And then there is another HONK. This time I saw her pull into the drive so out they go again. They love to meet her at her door because she treats them with a bone everyday LOL. SPOILED!!!

And yes I had packages today!! I am a Member of an Etsy team called
And we had an Ornament Swap my partner was Deb of **Stitches To Treasure** I was so excited because we all know my tree is lacking in Handmade ornaments so I wasted no time unwrapping them and they went directly onto my tree.



Three different shaped snowmen Ornies
And a Great card and Candies
Thank you Deb I love them and They look great on my tree!

And Well on Saturday I almost cried when the mail lady did not have a box for me. I have been waiting for this box!! I won a giveaway over on ***Vicky's Blog***


 And here He Is oh my word Vicky Thank you!!
He is so darn Cute MR. JINGLES!!
Vicky also sent me a note pad and a snowman candle

Vicky has made lots of Holiday Make do's!!

Did I mention I had a third tree, YEP in this tiny living room, This is actually just a tree top that is inside of a sifter. Just lit up with a Big Green bell on top and a few sprigs of berries. It sits on top of the TV stand.

Ok so I need to get back to work I am behind yet again!! And it appears a Certain Ankle has a date with a Heating Pad!! OH yeah!

  8. I wonder if all little dogs have "small dog syndrome!" My Shitzu use to terrify the Saint Bernard we had living across the street! She KNEW when that dog was outside...even though she couldn't see out the window..as soon as he was out...she'd go to the door and bark like crazy. That poor big ole goof...he'd just cower on his front steps...scared to death of the little black storm cloud! Of course this would happen today...cuz you were in your jams!! That's always when that stuff happens!

  11. I know what you mean about crazy dogs. This new one we took in thinks he's a mountain goat. He climbs the wood pile and flies off it to get over the fence and then he takes off. He just loves to run. And they have no idea how small/big they are. Our doxies have the hearts of lions. They are so territorial and so protective of family and each other. I can remember our older male hanging off the face of our neighbor's mastiff, but he wouldn't let go and that dog walked backwards all the way home. Mike had to go over and get him and make him let go. That big dog never messed with him again! Little dogs crack me up. Gotta love 'em!

  12. Brenda, that Rango is a piece of work, as we say in the south! So glad that no one was hurt.

    Your Mr. Jingles and new prim ornies are absolutely adorable! How is it that you didn't have any handmade ornaments? Glad that you're now remedying that situation...

    Hugs,
    Pam

  19. OMG, I am so glad they are okay. Sophie scared me not too long ago running underneath the garage door as it was closing (so much for the safety mechanism) and thankfully there was someone right there to catch her otherwise she would have took off and she is FAST!

    What lovely ornaments you received!!! I missed the swap :( but I have been "hibernating" a bit :) so am slowly catching up with some things!
