Happy Christmas Eve Everyone!

 

I want to wish everyone a wonderful, happy and safe holiday. Thank you so very much for stopping by to read my blog. Enjoy your holiday and being with your family. Relax and reflect while bring 2014 to a close.

These pictures are from Crabtree Valley Mall when they were just starting to put up the mall's Christmas decorations. 

I LOVE the color of the bulbs on these trees. These are my favorite colors for any Christmas decorations. It's a nice change from the usual red, gold and green colors that are always associated with Christmas time.

If I remember correctly this is the Christmas decorations for the store Belks. Simple but very elegant. I actually like these "hanging upside down trees with the red bulb" thingies. LOL!

Take Care Everyone!

Thank you for reading :)

I"m Back! New Posts and Update Coming Soon

Early morning in downtown Raleigh. I love this city. It has changed so much over the years.

I  have been enjoying riding around rediscovering the places I remember from the past and finding new places to enjoy new things.

New job (a blessing and a strong motivation not to settle for being underemployed). Job searching for a much better job. Learning how to manage my time around a new schedule. I've also become a lot more determined and focused to follow my dreams.

I missed blogging. I missed talking to you all. 

It is now or never. Life is so short. Go for it. Do it. Do it NOW!

More to come soon.

Thanks for reading!

I always buy something from this store when I go to this mall. A pencil or a small notebook. I have been doing this for years.

Sanrio store - Hello! Hello Kitty you are so cute.

Crabtree Valley is a a beautiful mall with a lot of stores. I love window shopping.

Looking into the window at the Arhaus store.

I am a office supply/paper/stationary geek so of course I love browsing in this store.

The decor in Tomato Pie restaurant is so beautiful. This picture does not do it justice.

People waiting patiently at Pantera Bread.

I am a sucker for a well done flower arrangement.

The weather was so warm and sunny the day I visited Raleigh.
