Dear Thief Who Broke Into Our Car Last Night Between Midnight and 6:30am,

Do you remember the humble ’03 elantra you broke into last night? The one with the 2 car seats in the back? You smashed in the passenger side window and scattered glass chunks throughout the WHOLE car. All you stole was my beloved GPS, in which I affectionately call Gerald Pierce Sterling (G.P.S. – get it?… he has a British accent). You found him in the center console hidden under my sunglasses and phone charging cord… which leads me to believe that you might live in our neighborhood. I don’t know who you are but Santa does! So I’m sure you will get coal in your stocking!! Actually, you will probably have a great Christmas… car radios and all the other stolen goods stacked around your Christmas tree just waiting to be sold on ebay… ug! Well even more important than Santa… God knows!! And while you are reaping the benefits of your robber escapades now, you will reap the consequences later!!! My sweet Gerald is fully loaded with my favorite songs by Jars Of Clay and David Crowder Band. And when you turn him on my favorite picture of Hot Hubby and I flashes on the screen while everything is loading.

Don’t you worry about me though. My Hot hubby has already arranged for someone to clean up the car and replace the window. Even as I wite this, they are fixing what you destroyed.

The saddest part is that Gerald (while I adore him) is rather old in the GPS world. His maps are outdated and you would actually have to spend money to update him. Which you probably won’t do! So my dearest Gerald will just be junk to you, and since you have no regard for things you’ll probably just throw him out and steal a better model from a Lexus! Shame on you and all your houses!

Warmly,

Kara-Noel and the Family

Side Note:

If you have been saving the pink breast cancer yogurt lids, they are due by the 31st so send them out today. I did.

You may or may not remember about a month ago when I announced the adult size Surfer Lid would be coming soon. “Soon” came and went with the hustle and bustle of the holidays! Now I can say the adult Surfer Lids are HERE. And they are adorable! You all know how I love matching so this is right up my alley… hopefully yours too.
Would you like… OR…

No need to decide because these Lids are reversible 🙂

They come in the child size which will fit a 1-year-old to about a 5 year old…

…and adult sizes which fit about a 5-year-old to… well… an adult!

On sale for $16.50 till January!

Eli’s Lids is introducing leg warmers straight from Cora’s Closet…

They are great for…and…

My friend Cheri makes these adorable socks!!!

I think they are just dandy!

So does Cora…
She plays with them during car rides…
You should go to Cheri’s etsy shop and get them too. Or you can email her through etsy for custom orders. These little sockies would make great stocking stuffers for girls of all ages. And shipping is FREE!!!

Cheri and her husband, Devin, reside in Illinois with their two little boys, Kai and Nash. Devin is a worship leader and Cheri is a mama extraordinaire!

Silly Facts:

~Devin and Cheri were married on my birthday, 7/25.

~Kai and Eli have the same birthday almost to the minute… a year apart!

~Cheri and I worked at Rock Harbor together (first tiny picture on this post).

Nissa over at Nissa’s Niceties was the winner of the first Eli’s Lids Giveaway. She also happens to have a great etsy shop, Luscious Little Treasures. Nissa sent me some of her adorable bows and I have been smitten!

Cora wore one on Thanksgiving…and one at our Christmas Party… Best of all these little cuties (the bows and the girls) look amazing with Eli’s Lids! See for yourself…

Nissa also makes so fun looking pretend food… but not for long so you should pick some up soon!
