Okay…so I need to keep this kinda short as Huntler has his school Christmas program tonight and I have a bazillion other things I should {need to} be doing, but I just HAD to share my finds from this morning!

Gentry girl and I headed to Kohl’s to do a little Christmas shopping while Huntler was at school. As is the case every single time I enter that store, I found oodles of fun goodies!! Mostly for me and not the people on my list. Why am I so darn easy to buy for?!!

Anyway, I know some of you are about to fall of your chair reading about me buying decor and goodies for my daughter’s birthday party that isn’t until JULY! So be it…when you are searching for Candyland-ish happiness in June and can’t find it, you’ll be sorry you weren’t stashing bits and pieces back in December when it was everywhere!!! No, but really, with a theme that revolves around peppermints, lollies, gumdrops and gingerbread men, Christmas is SO the time to be stocking up!! So I am!!

Here is what I bought today! I normally don’t take pictures of “things” because I simply am not good at it and I really don’t like it, but I wanted to share these!! Maybe you’ll get inspired!

First of all…the towels. This is what started it off!! I wasn’t even looking at the Christmas towels and such but these nearly jumped off the rack they wanted in my cart so badly!! I am loving the colors!! I also picked up a white linen napkin that is very simple and has a little peppermint in one corner. The snowflakes on the blue towel aren’t exactly ideal for a summer birthday, but I am sure I can find something to use it for!!

So then we mozy on over to the actual Christmas decor. Mercy, mercy, mercy!! I found these little gems and put them in my cart as fast as I could! Not that there was a huge rush on them or even anyone within 30 feet of me, but there was no debating on these! I mean, really now, with my love of photography how can I NOT buy a picture holder or two?!!

Here is another view on the gingerbread house!! Tell me these are not adorable little finds?!! And the shimmer??!!! Ahhh the shimmer!!

I have been on cloud nine all day! I am so loving getting these little details taken care of so far ahead of time! It just means I won’t be bummed and frazzled come June when it is actually time to start gathering things up and I am having no luck!!

Now I need a little help from you, my fabulous blog readers!! I bought this package of soap earlier this year at Wal Mart. I know for a fact that they had them out last year at Christmas time…in the midst of their four aisles of novelty bath goodies they set out for the holidays!! Anyway, I bought mine earlier this year and for some bizarre reason {I have NO clue why} I didn’t buy more. I have been to several Wal Mart’s down here and can’t seem to find these fun lolly soaps anywhere. So, next time you are at Wal Mart if you happen to see these, would you pick some up for me? They come in packs of three just like this and cost $3. I would be good with 5 packs of them. {I’ll be sure to post if someone contacts me and is able to find them!}

So there is that!! I also ordered the digital kit I am going to use to design the invites and thank you notes with, but I’ll share that at another time!! I have no idea why I am so gung ho on this, but I am!! Maybe I am trying to put off the things I really need to be doing to get ready for Christmas?!!

Alright, my little man needs some TLC and Gentry had a really rough night and it has continued on into today. So since my loves need their mama, I am going to get! Hope you had fun looking at all my sweet goodies!!
