The leaves are changing and it is time for something that I have been looking forward to for several months now: Junior League of Little Rock's Holiday House at the Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock!
Now as a member of the Holiday House comittee (logistics to be exact and I'm still not sure what that means) entrusted with making sure our event goes off without a hitch I am a bit biased, but I think this is the best holiday shopping opportunity of the year. The gifts are unique and they aren't the same old same old that you can find anywhere. Trust me, your mother does not want another candle and that sweater you gave grandma last year well she still hasn't worn it. Get them something fabulous at Holiday House and make their holiday!
So come on by and shop it up. You know that's where I'll be. And my mom is coming to visit and do some shopping too! You can be sure I'll be picking out some items that I can point out to her for what I want for Christmas! So the posting will be minimal this coming week. But hey what's new around here? Have a good one!

Go to http://www.jllr.org/ to see more on all those wonderful projects that my fellow league members and I participate in (my personal favorite is GROW:Girl's Realizing the Opportunity Within).
