So close… but no wins for us!!! Last night was the final game of BINGO at IKEA for the year. I went with my niece Taylor with plenty of daubers in-hand. We had a great time despite not winning a round… but, we did each get a fun IKEA bucket hat made from recycled IKEA big blue shopping bags. Only after chatting & trading with IKEA Amanda! Happy holidays at IKEA!!!

One of my friends stopped by my SECOND HOLIDAY HOME SHOW this past weekend & purchased a little cactus in one of my little pots. He sent me a picture of its new home… it’s kind of the “Where’s Waldo?” of houseplants! Thanks Eric!!!

And just in case you’re wondering… this is what “Waldo” looks like.
