It's not too early to start your December Daily album. I did some scrapping with friends this week and made pages for days 1-25. I am not going to scrap December Daily 1-31 this year but rather 1-25 plus Thanksgiving weekend. It's my way or the highway and I think this will work for me. Last year I was exhausted for the holidays as we put the addition on the house so no December Daily. I missed it.
This year I used a kit from Hobby Lobby, a Pretty Little Studio Christmas kit that I won from Ali Edwards, some packs from making memories that I got at the UVill sidewalk sale and mini file folders from the new Paper Source located in UVill. A mishmash of products keeps me from getting bored. I'm not a heavy embellish'er, more of a plain Jane but I do say, "when I grow up I want to be an embellish'er just like Julie!" I'm trying!
I got a ton done and met some great women. Love that :) A good day of reconnecting. Amy's husband is a beans to bar chocolatier. We didn't have hot chocolate but rather we sipped drinking chocolate.
*Hubby was in Washington D.C. this week. His luggage may have had more fun than him as it went to Hawaii. He eventually got it. This afternoon he and hopefully, his luggage come back home where they belong. I missed him...*Besides a scrap day I have been crafting up some fun things for the redecorated guest room. When Hubby is out of town I make Max a BiG pan of beef and bean enchiladas. That way I don't have to make dinner all week. Everyone is happy and I have time to make stuff.
*Shalom Sunday this week at church so I am busy baking cookies and finding fun things to send in soldier's care packages. Ideas?
*My windows are filthy but I'm not going to wash them until the potatoes are harvested from the field next door. One year I washed all the windows, dusted the house and everything was a dusty mess in a matter of minutes. Lesson learned! I'm waiting it out.
*I got new eyeglasses. They are purple and paisley. You'll see me coming...
*Hubby and I are having a small dinner party on Saturday evening. The foodie and wine connoisseur friends are coming. Game on!
*Have a great weekend! The weather promises to be unpredictable. When I left my house for boot camp before six this morning it was 71 degrees outside. Weird.
