That's what any one of today's featured guests could be saying, since they're all stuffed plushies and woolies, and just plain adorable!

I think I'll be putting a couple of things on my "possibilities" list for the grandkids for Christmas, and maybe even a creature or two on my wish list too! How about you?

Tomorrow, stop by for a look at some verdigris inspired items and a little bit about the history and nature of the color and patina that we call verdigris. Interesting stuff! If you have any items that fit the theme, or any future theme for that matter, send them to me by clicking here!

Have a terrific Tuesday and look for me here tomorrow!
