I think the Christmas spirit is finally upon me. I am ready to spend time finishing my Christmas shopping and wrapping and baking cookies with my kids.

I think this came about becuase of some final accomplishments that were completed today. I had my last show for the season this past weekend (and it was awesome!) and I delivered a wholesale order to Palm Beach Zoo! I am very excited to have two zoos as wholesalers. It's a wonderful feeling and I am excited and pumped for the coming year!

I've been thinking about all that I've accomplished and I am very pleased. I have learned much this year and am ready to make new goals for next year. I am eager to finish all this back end work to really see what I accomplished. But as I speak about it, I am also very tired so I'll give it a couple of days and then dig in. The orders are still coming in so I am making the most of the holiday season!

So today I check out the December issue of South Florida Parenting where my friend wrote a rave about Kaboodle Kids and was told it would be in the December issue. I was disappointed to see that it was not in there; however, my friend did get her writeup. She didn't bother to tell me that she wrote in under a few different topics - she couldn't remember what she wrote. Well one of the other topics she wrote was picked. I was bummed a little bit today as I've been on cloud nine thinking I'd get some advertising through this. I called her up this afternoon and told her she was a shmuck! We laughed about it!
