Greetings and Welcome!

Well, first posts are always the hardest, but I do want to say hello and thank you for joining me in my little spot on the web.  It was a New Year's goal of mine to start a blog and keep it up throughout the coming months.  My plan is to focus on the things I know and enjoy, hence the Smiles, Shopping and Self Indulgent Prattle.  I will share a smile, a find and an occasional rant or story.  Please join me and share your own!
