Christmas Characters

Those darn kids. Ask them to pose for a photo before their Advent program and what do you get?

P.S. The muffs are vintage fur and used to belong to my Aunt Muffin. That really is her name. I am not making this up.

Cute holiday card

PlanetClaire readers know how much I love crafts. My friend Pierce at work got the most clever greeting card. It's a punch out Jumping Jack. I had my daughter put it together and now it's hanging on our tree. Cute, cute, cute.

P.S. Read Pierce's syndicated column here...

Let heaven and nature sing...

The Fighting Sisters

When I talk to my girlfriends who have sisters, they always tell me how great they get along now, but how much they hated each other growing up.

Someone please transport me 10 years into the future, because my husband and I have three girls at home (ages 8 to 14) who want to kill each other on a regular basis.

These boots are made for splashin'

Well, things were pretty busy at PlanetClaire headquarters over this past four day weekend but Mrs. PC found time to ID these spiffy rain boots at a local department store. Not only did I try them on for size and photograph them, I printed out said photo and left it on Mr. PC's desk as a not so subtle Christmas gift hint. I hope they appear under my tree :)
