Boxing Day Shopping

Did y'all go out shopping on the 26th? I did, but only a little bit. I didn't get too much. I don't love crowds and I kind of lost my enthusiasm when a lady at Target shoved me out of the way so she could get to some cans of Poppycock without so much as an "excuse me".

Here's what I got: at Target, I got my year's supply of Scotch Tape like I do every year after Christmas.

I got some Nerds for 49 cents...

I got a box of these jewels for my bedroom tree for $3...

and two packs of silver snowflakes for the same tree for $1...

I bought this at Williams Sonoma for $4.98...

and I got a pink back for my Nook with a Barnes and Noble giftcard...

I tried to spend my Christmas money, but have had no luck. I first looked for another pair of Ugg House Shoes at Nordstrom, but they were completely sold out of ever single style. I then decided to buy a Garment Bag from Vera Bradley, but I called the VB store and they were out of "Twirly Bird Pink" and I had decided that was the one I wanted. I thought about buying a charging dock at Ballard Designs that was on sale, but the $12 shipping turned me off. I have also been perusing Louis Vuitton, but my Christmas funds are a few hundred short to fulfill my desires there! So I guess I'll just take that all as a sign and save my money!

So if you hit the stores, what did you get?

I wandered out to Target as well, but just wasn't motivated. Even with everything being 1/2 off I just couldn't do it. Have you tried the Zappos for the Uggs? I just got a pair from there and they got to me ASAP! I hope you had a Merry Christmas

I bought some Christmas lights for the exterior of my house. More lights for house and lights to wrap around the trees. I saved $58.00!! Glad about the savings- but I have to wait a whole year for the gratification. :)

What LV are you looking at? I am trying to sell one that I never carry so that I can get a new LV. It is a bad habit to have, but it is my addiction!

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal. I particularly love Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar. It wasn't close enough for my liking. So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat. I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things. The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients... Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too) I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau...
