I found my way to this neat little store that has items like PUCKER PASTE and wonderful soap scents like Christmas Pines that had me thinking of Christmas gifts, and of course some items from myself.   I placed my order from  Rose Petal Betty today and have already received notice that my items are ready to ship!  Now how's that...

I have been tagged by Molly to tell you 7 interesting facts about me.
