If you were at a friend’s house for a holiday dinner and you found a dead cockroach in your salad, what would you do? I would be mortified but I'm sure she would be even moreso! Needless to say I probably wouldn't be going over there for dinner again!

If you could put anyone you know on Prozac, who would you choose? Better be careful with this one....never know who is reading! I'll just choose to leave this one alone.

How do you feel about public displays of affection? I think that holding hands or a bit of a peck is ok. As for those who enjoy a full out face sucking sessions I really don't need to see it, and I'm sure no one else needs to either!

This will be my last blog post until next week. There's still so much to do and so little time left before Christmas to get it done!

From Bijoux Designs For You wishing you and yours a safe and happy holiday season!

Well with a ton of snow supposed to hit today and continue all weekend long I thought a hot chocolate inspired Finds was in order. These finds are inspired by the yummy warmth of hot chocolate and, of course, are all $10 or less!

This Itty Bitty Bizzie Zippered Coin Card Bag (say that three times fast!) is a rich chocolate brown with lovely blue flowers on it. At only $9 it's a great way to carry your cards, coins, stuff your receipts and more! The richness of this fabric instantly warmed me up! Also available in her shop are a lovely selection of wallets, totes, purses and other accessories. Definately worth a visit!

Stop by Beat Blacks shop for a great selection of pendants, earrings, rings and more...many of which are good enough to eat! I fell in love with these adorable Chocolate Chip Cookie Earrings for $10!

Have you ever returned an item to a store for a refund after having used it? Nope. I've only ever returned something that I bought for my hubby that didn't fit.

You are going out for the evening. If your partner objects to what you are wearing, would you change your clothing? We probably wouldn't be going anymore if he objected!

What item that you don’t currently possess would you most like to have in your home? Seems silly but I want a salad spinner! Just one of those items that I want but can never remember to buy.

What is the most expensive meal you've ever eaten? Hmmmm....I'm not sure. Probably one of the meals I had while on my bf's wedding cruise (but of course food is included in your cruise). It was her wedding dinner and was 5 courses including lobster as one. I'm sure if I had had to pay for it it would have cost a small fortune...but man it was good!

What is the fastest speed you've ever traveled in a car? That I'm not sure of although I know it wouldn't have been me driving. I'm a 10-20 over the speed limit tops kind of girl.

What is the highest building you've ever been to the top floor of? Definately the CN tower. Did you know that it has a glass floor that you can stand on and try not to puke your guts out?!

Have a great week everyone!

It's "Cyber Monday" today, the ceremonial kick-off of the holiday online shopping season in the United States. Do you do much online shopping, holiday or otherwise? Until I had an online store I had only been a window shopper. I mostly shop online for supplies although I will one of the ones participating as both a buyer and seller today! I have some Christmas gifts that I will be purchasing and I'm very excited to await their arrival!

Are you a Mac or a PC user? Why? I'm a PC user simply because it is the computer I have had forever and my brother is a major computer geek and just keeps fixing/upgrading it for me:)

What website do you spend more time on than you care to admit? I spend FAR too much time on the computer in general! I am completely addicted to surfing the net, reading blogs, twittering and searching through Etsy and Artfire for great products.

Happy Cyber Monday to everyone! Let the holidays begin! Both our Artfire and Etsy stores are offering FREE SHIPPING until midnight tonight.
