~Happy New Year~

Here's a few more of my Christmas gifts I forgot to take pics of.
~Just down from GG's house in TN there is a thrift store called "Karms."  The proceeds go to help feed the homeless in Knoxville. 
I saw this beautiful red tray there, and I loved it.  It was originally was $69.99 from Hobby Lobby, and Karms wanted $21.99.  I was NOT paying that for that tray. 
The next day, I had to be back in Karms, and asked them if it was part of their Christmas 50% sale, and they said, No. So, I did not buy it.
As we were leaving town, Phillip and Sarah ran back in Karms for a couple things.  As they were checking out, Phillip saw that tray and knew how much I loved it and asked if it were a part of the Christmas 75% off sale.  
The guy said, "No, but, I want to sale it, so I'll give it to you for 75% off!"  
So, they bought it and Sarah gave it to me for Christmas.  HOW FUN!  :-) ~

 ~I gave Phillip shoe trees, this french press, and a tie rack.~
