Delightful Discoveries - Don't Let the Stars Get in Your Eyes 12.13.10

Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,

Don’t let the moon break your heart!
Love blooms at night,
In daylight it dies,
Don’t let the stars get in your eyes,
Don’t keep your heart from me,
For some day I’ll return,
And you know you’re the only one I’ll ever love!home

You know I love all you guys! And you knew I couldn't stay away long... Things were a bit hectic around here the past few days and today I started my day with an appointment to serve jury duty, but now I have no more excuses to not get my rear in gear and get back on track and stick to my schedule. The grandbaby is here, no jury duty for at least 18 months, no one is facing any illnesses at the moment, and I've resigned myself to the fact that I simply won't be sending out Christmas cookies with my Christmas packages heading back east! The good news is, that for all intents and purposes, my Christmas shopping is done - thanks in great part to some amazing Etsy shops that I did a great deal of my shopping at this year! I'm catching up a bit today, so I'll be featuring some great items in the themes I had scheduled for the past three days - and while these are somewhat abbreviated lists, I think you'll still enjoy them!

These had me seeing stars - in a wonderful variety of ways!

I think I'm caught up now! :) Tomorrow we'll be using our imaginations a little to imagine some lovely orangey gold koi fish swimming in a crystal clear aquamarine pond - our color combination of the day is orange and aqua! I'd love to see something from your own collection featuring the complementary hues of blue and orange, so be sure to stop and send me yours!

It's been a long day, and {yawn} I'm bushed! Tomorrow is definitely another day! Take care 'til next we meet!
