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!

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!

Welcome December

Happy December, Glitter Bugs!! I'm so excited to welcome December. The Winter is upon us and the holidays are here. The colorful leaves are still falling and giving us our last few weeks of Autumn. Enjoy it!

The shoppe has been buzzing with so many visitors this time of year. I have met people from Spain, Israel, Australia, so many from New York and New Jersey, Indiana, Florida, Texas, California and so, so many other states too! I love to see your smiling faces and hearing about the towns you are from. It's especially fun when you come in to purchase mementos to take back home with you from our sweet little shoppe.

This month, Downtown Apex will have a wonderful night of Christmas Carols and Christmas Tree Lighting on Friday, December 6th starting at 5:00 pm.

Don't forget to come and look for all of the Shoppe Gals and their helpers in the Apex Christmas Parade on December 7th starting at 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm. Come early and find your spot to watch this wonderful night parade. Downtown Apex will be full of excitement and cheer. The shoppe will be open both days that weekend until 8:00 pm. Well, every Friday and Saturday.  :)

What are your favorite things to look forward to in December? I love the frost on the trees and the Cardinals all puffed up and perching in their bright shades of red. I also love friends and family all gathering together for fun festivities and spending time together this time of year. Walking in Downtown Apex enjoying a meal and strolling the shops.

The shoppe is filled with all kinds of pretties this time of year for your holiday shopping, ornament exchanges, white elephant gifts, stocking stuffers, and always something cozy to wrap up in. Don't forget to stop in for something to dress up your outfit for that special occasion or just a fun day out on the town. We have something for everyone!

Happy Holidays, friends! I can't wait to see you in the shoppe soon.

Welcome December

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

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.
