It's Almost Open.....

(Insert Walking In A Winter Wonderland here.....you know, just play it in your noggin'). It's almost time for me to open the Jingle All The Way Home website for Christmas goodies. Tomorrow the web-doors will fly open with all new goodies for the season. So check in tomorrow because there will also be a give-away as well. I've been working hard in the studio like a good little elf. My 2009 series of Fresh Vintage Christmas ornaments are very cute this year.

The studio smells of cinnamon which is radiating from the newly created tiny cinnamon ornaments. Unfortunately, they are not edible due to the a secret ingredient in the recipie called glue! This makes me a little sad because I never met a cookie I didn't like. Cinnamon is one of my favorite smells.....it reminds me of Christmas! When I make a cup of coffee at work I always sprinkle a little cinnamon in it and the kids say "Mrs. Ustik's drinking her Christmas coffee!" I guess the fragrance of cinnamon makes everyone think of Christmas.

For those of you who follow my blog, you are familiar with Toodee the studio mascot. He usually is getting into some sort of hijinx! The week before Halloween, Toodee always gets a little sugared-up and ultra creative. I made the mistake of leaving a full bottle of sweet tea by him last night and found him in this state this morning with a very cool snoman metal dog tag around his neck (notice the tea bottle is empty). That Toodee! By the way, he shared with me how he made the tag and it will be available in the Jingle All The Way Home Shop tomorrow.
