I’m usually at the drafting table in our office with iTunes going. Can’t work with the tv, it’s too distracting, especially when I’m working on jewellry. Need to be able to concentrate when I’m wire wrapping. 😀

I don’t have a local dealer 😥We have two wonderful dealers here, Em from Emerald’s Emporium (http://www.emeraldsemporium.com/) and Dave from Astral Castle (http://www.astralcastle.com/). They’re both great to deal with. Hope that helps. 😀

They said the camera flashes gave her migraines. I didn’t bother trying to get to her when she was doing autograph sessions since she was one of the stars that more people wanted to see and the lines were ridiculous.
Fun fact, did you know that Gates McFadden was the dance choreographer for the movie Labyrinth?? 😀
To: Southern Residents, USA
From: Santa
I regret to inform you that effective immediately, I will no longer be able to serve the Southern United States on Christmas Eve.
Due to overwhelming current population of the earth, my contract was renegotiated by North American Fairies and Elves Local209.
I now serve only certain areas of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,Wisconsin and Michigan.
As part of the new and better contract I also get longer breaks for milk and cookies so keep that in mind.
However, I’m certain that your children will be in good hands with your localreplacement who happens to be my third cousin, Bubba Claus.
His side of the family in from the South pole.
He shares my goal of delivering toys to all the good boys and girls; however, there are a few differences between us.
Differences such as:
1. There is no danger of a Grinch stealing your presents from Bubba Claus. He has a gun rack on his sleigh and a bumper sticker that reads: “These toys insured by Smith & Wesson.”
2. Instead of milk and cookies, Bubba Claus prefers that children leave a RC Cola and porkrinds (or a moon pie) on the fireplace. And Bubba doesn’t smoke a pipe. He dips a little snuff though, so please have an empty spit can handy.
3. Bubba Claus’ sleigh is pulled by floppy-eared, flyin’ coon dogs instead of reindeer. I made the mistake of loaning him a couple of my reindeer one time, and Blitzen’s head now looks out over Bubba’s fireplace.
4. You won’t hear “On Comet, on Cupid, on Donner and Blitzen…” when Bubba Claus arrives. Instead you’ll hear, “On Earnhardt, on Wallace, on Martin and LaBonte.On Rudd, on Jarrett, on Elliot and Petty.”
5. “Ho, ho, ho!” has been replaced by “Yee Haw!” And you also are likely to hear Bubba’s elves reply, “I her’d dat!”
6. As required by Southern highway laws, Bubba Claus’ sleigh does have a Yosemite Sam safety triangle on the back with the words, “Back Off!” The last I heard it also had other decorations on the sleigh back as well. One is Ford or Chevy logo with lights that race through the letters and the other is a caricature of me (Santa Claus) peeing on the Tooth Fairy.
7. The usual Christmas movie classics such as “Miracle on 34th Street” and “It’s a Wonderful Life” will not be shown in your negotiated viewing area. Instead, you will see “Boss Hogg Saves Christmas” and “Smokey and the Bandit IV” featuring Burt Reynolds as Bubba Claus and dozens of State Patrol cars crashing into each other.
8. Bubba Claus doesn’t wear a belt. If I were you, I’d make sure you, the wife, and the kids turn the other way when he bends over to put presents under the tree.
9. And finally, lovely Christmas songs have been sung about me like “Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer” and Bing Crosby’s “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town”. This year, songs about Bubba Claus will be played on all the AM radio stations in the South. These song titles will be Mark Chesnutt’s “Bubba Claus shot the jukebox”; Cledus T. Judd’s, “All I want for Christmas is my Woman and a Six-pack”, and Hank Williams Jr’s “If You Don’t Like Bubba Claus, You Shove It.”
Sincerely Yours,
Santa Claus

Mine too. I wish I could have afforded the Peacock SK’s when they were in the store. 🙄
I got a box today. And thanks so much, DM!! I love the two plush dragons that make noise when you squeeze them (and I agree that they sound more like geese than any dragon I’d imagine 😀 ), some wonderful chocolate and a gorgeous, warm and soft red bathrobe. And yes, it is freezing up here so it’ll come in handy. Thanks so much and I’ll post pics tomorrow.
