It's DECEMBER!

How is your decorating going? Chestnuts roasting by an open fire, yet?
Twinkling lights and fires all aglow?
Stockings hung and the promise of mistletoe? ;-)

Here at the Alley, we'd like to know what your favorite part of decorating is? Do you have a special ornament? Family heirloom?

Share it with us!

NOW FOR NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, one of the Alley Cats received an early Christmas present this year. The fabulous and fantastic Angie Dicken is now represented by the marvelous literary agent, Tamela Hancock Murray from The Steve Laube Agency.

We. Are. REJOICING!!!

Not only  did Angie get a fab agent, Tamela got a wonderful author! A good match? Oh yea!
