Postal Service.

but first... 

as much as i LOVE working with dogs, some mornings they are lucky i love them so much--- nothing like the foulest smelling Boxer poop hug on my white v to wake me up.  My husband-to-be and family joke that i'm a spoiled prima donna so i had to snap a photo for proof that i'm not as spoiled as i used to be. Gross, i know but at least it wasn't on you right?

also! 

urban outfitters has some cute ornaments!

tonight i'll start rounding up partners for le Ornament Swap and start sending emails tomorrow. I am so excited! {70+ people have signed up! yay!}
