It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

How is it December already?!   It is truly the best time of the year!   It's a time for giving.  We have lots of gift ideas in the shoppe that would be perfect for your bestie, your mom, you sister and even great stocking stuffers for teens!  Be sure to come check them out!

Did you go to the Apex Christmas Parade?  Did you see us?   We were in the pink VW Bug with the giant lit wreath on the back and we had the Grinch riding around us on a pink tricycle!  It was hilarious.   All of us Shoppe Gals and our wonderful owner, Julie all piled into the bug!   So much fun!

We hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of Holidays!

Holidays In The Shoppe

What an amazing holiday season it has been at The Doodling Bug. The Shoppe Gals all buzzing around putting glitter and shine all around the shoppe. Hauling Christmas trees out of our shed. Gathering all of our Christmas decorations to delight every taste.

Christmas is over, but we are still playing our fun Christmas music on the speaker. Everyone coming in is dancing and singing. It's so wonderful! We just don't want it to end.

Did you know that we offer 30% off on all of our Christmas related items in the shoppe starting the day after Christmas? Well, we do!! Even my favorite top is on discount. (I got lucky and my Husband surprised me with one for Christmas. Yay!) I think that we secretly do it, because we don't want to stop seeing all of your friendly faces during the holiday break. We want to see those smiles and your excitement when you come in and pick up the little things that you really wanted, but didn't buy for yourself for Christmas.

Happy Holidays to you, once again and we hope to see you in the shoppe this week!

Holidays In The Shoppe

The Shoppe Gals and You

Our Shoppe Gals are one of a kind and you, our customers, make our lives even more delightful. We like to think that in our small, but bright, eclectic, sparkly and decadently pink shoppe, is where the Shoppe Gals make magic just for you. 

We love to welcome you with a smile and a warm, "hey y'all" or "good afternoon, welcome".  We are always there to help you with your questions and to make friendly conversation. And, don't forget we love giving stickers out to your kiddos and treats to your canine pets.

Our Shoppe Gals are a tight-knit bunch that make a point to work hard together. Constantly adding new items to the shoppe floor for every persons taste. Rearranging walls. Making new signs to make you giggle and smile. Decorating for the seasons. Updating our, Glitter Bugs email list, so you always know what will be adoring the floor next. Sending out Instagram and Facebook social media story posts, to keep you up to date daily with our everyday happenings and excitement.

It is always good vibes everywhere, inside and out. Before you even step through our door, you'll see a bulletin board with complements and good thoughts.  You're awesome, you're beautiful, and you're a treasure. But sometimes we need reminders. So grab a happy thought, slip it in your wallet, or tape it to your mirror, because we don't want you to ever forget how fabulous you are.

Today and always, we will have a special bond with our customers. Our friends. It is because of you that our small shoppe thrives and that the Shoppe Gals love our jobs so much.

The Shoppe Gals and You

Oh What fun, The Christmas Parade!

Wow, last night was spectacular! It was my first Apex Christmas Parade with The Shoppe Gals. It was so much fun! I think that I just need to show you how wonderful it was!

We are piling into the cutest pink VW Bug ever!

Ready to head to the staging area for all of the parade goers. 
Yes, that is 5 of us squeezed into this cute little eye-lashed Bug. Haha!!

Shoppe Gal Katie grabbed a photo of all of the Santa beanies following us to our parade staging spot. 
Loved this sight!

We did our best to stay dry. Our wonderful shoppe Owner, Julie, was prepared as usual... gloves, rain ponchos, umbrellas, snacks and drinks. She is just so wonderful and we all appreciate her so much.

Selfie time with... Shoppe Gal Isabelle.

With Shoppe Gals Laura and Katie. Always fun with these two!

Our sweet little vehicle all Christmas Parade ready and big smiles from Julie and Isabelle. 

Love those eyelashes!!

Even though it was raining, everyone was in great spirits. It was so great!

Don't you just love our monogrammed hats?!?! Make sure you ask one of us Shoppe Gals next time you are in The Doodling Bug for her phone number. She is amazing!

The monogrammed Santa hat crew. A great one at that!
I really am so happy that I get to spend my days with these ladies.

It takes a village and this was ours last night. Thank you everyone for making the night so fun!

Merry Christmas!

Santa finished the parade with his sweet smile.

That's a wrap! Thank you for joining me through our Christmas Parade photo brigade. If you would like to see more photos and videos you can find them on our Shoppe Gals Instagram and also our Facebook page.
