I don't know about you, but I was wondering why it was called "Black Friday" so I looked up the origin of the term!
According to Wikipedia....".... 'Black Friday' was originally so named because of the heavy traffic on that day, although most contemporary uses of the term refer instead to it as the beginning of the period in which retailers are in the black (i.e., turning a profit)." Okay.... my curiosity is satisfied.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I made a new dessert and fell in love with it! So I decided to share it with you. I would certainly show you a picture but it didn't last long enough to take one! I am not a big pie person, but LOVE anything pumpkin. This cake was amazingly light and moist for a pumpkin dessert!

Hubby and I woke up at 3:00 this morning to go shopping. I made a hot cup of chai to go and we were off. I won't bore you with tales of our hours of standing in lines or the mad traffic woes, but suffice it to say, I am pooped. I am particularly excited about a couple of great finds for the perfect gifts, but I'm aware the recipients are some of my blog browsers, so I'll have to keep it to myself for now!
I hope to have some stamping done soon! Hopefully I will have a card to share tomorrow!
Have a great day!
Blessings~
