I did get out on Monday....
Was it Monday????
Yes....
Monday...
Visited one of my favorite stores...
Homesense....
And..
I...
Found....
A few...
Great buys ♥
2 packages of cookie cutters...
Gingerbread Men...
And...
Snowflakes...
$1.50 each....
And...
A very exciting find...indeed....
A bag of Apple Spice seasoning....
This goes into my Apple Pie Bread recipe...
And...will save me a lot of time...mixing up the different spices!! $1....
A lovely Peppermint Bark Candle....
Very nicely wrapped....
Could be for me...
Or...
A gift! $2!!!
Festive napkins...
With such an appropriate saying!!!!
$1 each pack...
A lime green sparkly twirly thingy....
Can go in my planters...
Or simply in a vase...
Or...
In a floral centrepiece!
Reg $15 for $4!!!
This next purchase, really brought a smile to my face....
Considering this year....I neglected to buy any Christmas crackers....and my son brought some....
Now.....I am well prepared for next year...
And I thought the style was very attractive♥
They will match my plaid place-mats very nicely! reg$20.....paid $4!!!!
One can never have too much ribbon....
Couldn't pass up the gingham...and at 2/$1....even better!!!
So..........thee were my after Christmas purchases.....pretty nice,eh?
And...........so........darn........cheap!!
Hope you all had a great day....

The snow is beginning to build up on top of things again!!!!
It had all either blown off...or melted from things...
Took these shots this afternoon...
After I got the tree down...
Ornaments and lights packed away...
Swept the needles into piles....
Into the dust pan....
Then.....
Vacuumed for 5 hours to get all the needles!!!!
Perhaps it is time for an artificial tree for this household!!!
Darn snow.....go away for a while....
Hoping our drive South....won't be hampered by all of these winter storms...
Fingers crossed that they ease up...towards the end of January.....please.....
**********
Have you got all your Christmas trappings put to rest?
Do you always find things after you think everything is put away???
I do.....
I keep a small box, for those stragglers!!!

Grilled Pork Tenderloin....marinated in Worcheshire and ground pepper..
Sauteed mushrooms,onions and red,orange and green peppers....
Leftover roasted taters thrown in to warm at the last minute♥
Enjoy the rest of your evening...
