Happy 2008!

Can't believe it's upon us but I do hope your 2008 will be great! I don't really have any resolutions--just always try to do the best I can with whatever comes my way! Looking forward to a new year of crafting and hope to continue to share with you thru my website & blog! Happy New Year! More later....

It came!!!

Yep, Christmas came & it is now just after midnight & gone!! Sat night was our "real" celebration where we all met at my Mom's...it was aunts, uncles, cousins, etc & we had a ball! I truly enjoyed it! We sang, ate & laughed the whole evening away---just what I think Christmas should be! HOWEVER, for the real Christmas day I spent it in bed. I woke up in horrendous pain & really could not move. This comes from over-doing it & it is a hard price to pay! I didn't get to go to my Mom's for our traditional Christmas breakfast & I didn't get to go to my Mother-in-Law's for our traditional Christmas dinner. I was miserable all day & now I'm wide awake! LOL But, I am looking forward to the new year...it's almost here! Hope your Christmas was Merry & Bright! More later....

It's almost here!!

I can't believe we are just 10 days from Christmas! It's really my favorite time of the year! I got some last minute orders in & they have been keeping me busy, but I have still been able to sit back & enjoy some Christmas movies (My husband & son call them "girlie movies") and drink hot chocolate, watch the fire in the fireplace, (yep, we have had a few so far!) & just look at the Christmas tree all lit up! I love listening to Christmas music in the car & stuff, too! Our Christmas play is this Sunday at Church & I am singing Mary Did you Know in between scenes. Our Church also had a float in our town's Christmas parade this year & that was fun! Well, gotta print up lots more candy bar wrappers...more later! Oh, and I'm posting a pic of our Christmas tree!

It's closing in on us....

OMGosh---22 days till Christmas?? Where is the time going?? I've got to make lots of craft items for a Christmas Festival I'm doing this Sat, the 8th!! Panic is setting in...breathe, breathe...nah, I'll be OK....whatever gets made, gets made & whatever doesn't, doesn't!! :0) Hope all is well in your corner of the world! I know once this festival is over I'll feel better & can enjoy the season a little more. How are you all doing on your shopping?? With our children being adults now, we just give them money & then a couple small things to open, so it's not as stressful...also, not as fun! I miss having little ones at Christmas...so....I have "adopted" my good friend Lori's 3 kids & can't wait to have them over to see the decorations & see what's under the tree for them!! More later....
