Hello hello! Cynthia here this Tuesday night with today’s picks. I’m a bit overwhelmed with thinking that a), my girl turns 6 in less than 2 weeks and b), that I haven’t started Christmas shopping. So posting tonight is a nice diversion, right? Let’s get on with the pretties I found so I can go back to thinking that I’m running outta shopping time…*sigh*
