doesn't take much....

to make me happy

I have been described as

a cheap date

only this isn't a date

it's just to show how small things

can make me turn on a dime

a penny a yen a euro

a franc a lira
and get the spirit in a minute

I saw these

 in the useless craft store a couple of visits ago

four for $1

I picked them up

I love houses in any way shape or form

they are small enough to be cute and big enough to put something in

well I have three now

grandson took one home the other day

with an owl inside it

hey the owl had to live somewhere

:)

then

while looking for decent fruit and veggies

I came across this

a

Christmas Cactus

in the basket it went

with its cute little red flowers all ready to pop open and

sing

Noel to us all

well I may as tell you now

by the time we got home

two of those cute little red flowers had survived the trip

and now

there is one!!!

and it ain't singing

Oh well

it's green and it has shiny paper wrapped around it

then I spied the m&m people

a him and a her

so they joined

the then lovely plant

I love his sarcasm in the commercials

he's my kinda Santa

then a package came

and it had sweet little bags

oooooo I thought

the spirit is showing itself and you are on the verge of

feeling merry

mery!!!!

so today

because it is the day of the great cleaning

I cleaned

I sneezed

I coughed

I smiled

it all came together when in the search for a tablecloth

that at the moment is hiding somewhere

but it will be found

I came upon two

not one

but TWO boxes of little white lights

brand new in the boxes

short too

just what I needed

to make it all complete

so after a whole lot of washing and dusting and re-arranging

we have

merriment

in the

kitchen

so back I go to hunt down the cloth

hope you got the spirit

or

it gets you

see ya
