Surviving the Mart

No matter when you go, there is a lot of people.

We're all looking for those new and fabulous items!

The weather wasn't too bad, it was trying to snow the last

day we we're there.

Walking up and down the halls looking for companies or special items!

I always get confused which hall I was down.

They all run together!

My husband is very good on direction!

That's why I always bring him!

Just kidding!

This is how I feel when I get done.

Everything blurred!


So much to take in!!!!!
But I can't wait till those new and fabulous things come in!

Going to the Chicago Mart

Well it's that time to go to the Chicago Mart to find

new and fabulous things.

So I better get out my walking shoes, or should

I put on my skates and get ready for some

fun and excitement!!!!!!

See you when I get back!!!!!!

Happy New Year!

Have a Wonderful New Year!
