You may have heard of Thirty-One . . . I had - my friends have bags, they have had some parties, but I really didn't know what all the fuss was about until I got my first two bags a couple of weeks ago. I got two completely different bags - the Retro-Metro Weekender Bag in Teal Mod Dot: And this Cindy Tote which is a perfect fit for my phone wallet (in an outside, easy-to-reach pocket) and my laptop. Plus it's personalized to make it that much more "me"! Now, I get it. These are my two favorite bags out of the I-couldnt-tell-you-how-many in my house.  Thirty-One is a company that does parties where you can earn FREE items by introducing your friends to the latest designs and patterns of Thirty-One to your friends and family.  Or if you really love the company, you can become a representative for Thirty-One and make a great income sharing these with other people.

Look at the gorgeous wrapping paper you can purchase from NOVICA. Several months ago, I reviewed an amazing dress that can be worn as a long, trendy vest or wrapper. I've worn it many times since then and always get an array of compliments when I do. Today, I purchased some of the handcrafted wrapping paper . . . I can't wait to use this to wrap packages for my friends and family. I know they'll love the idea that not only do they have beautifully wrapped packages but the wrapping also helped support other families around the world. This package is just $17.99 right now, and there are a couple of other options that are just gorgeous and priced up to $27.99 The best news is that I have a $25 gift certificate to give to the first person who sends their NOVICA purchase confirmation to MelissaStuffBlog@gmail.com - can't wait to see what you order. There's so much amazing stuff! Keep an eye out - even though this prize has already been claimed, there will be...

If you're looking for a unique way to celebrate Christmas this year, you should consider having Tea with the Angels at the Degolyer Estate inside the Dallas Arboretum. I had the chance to visit this week - and the DeGolyer Estate is decorated gorgeously with over 500 different angels on loan from the Dallas Pi Beta Phi Alumnae group. In addition to enjoying the holiday decor throughout the historic home, it was fun to try to spot all of the angels in their various places throughout. You can tour the home now through the end of December from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Right now you can get a  two discounted tickets for just $14  that will give you entrance to the Arboretum and specifically into the DeGolyer Estate. Through the 22nd of December, you will be able to meet Santa and at least one of the reindeer on Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. During this same time frame Frosty and Rudolph will also be around to greet the children and take pictures. However,...

This last week my entire household dressed up and headed over to the Watters Creek shopping center in Allen to see Santa. There was no wait when we went and we were able to walk up, climb directly into Santa's lap . . . and ask for an iPhone 5. Yep, seriously. My six-year-old who has to this point been considering options that include Silly Slippez , PS3 games and LEGOs chose that moment to bust out with the biggest wish he could think of - an iPhone5. The adults all had to laugh when Santa's response was, "Well, son, that's the one thing we DON'T make at the North Pole." Interestingly enough, this is the child who had a horrible day at school that very same day. Horrible enough that I had spent almost an entire hour on the phone with his teacher after school. So when Santa said, "Be Good!" Momma had to take the moment to point out that if his days continued to be like they were that day, Santa would be bringing coal and not toys. Then, said c...
