December Ramblings

Wow, this background is sure easier to read, isn't it?

I can't believe there are only seventeen days till Christmas and I am NOT ready! Usually I start preparations in August and spread the cheer over a few months! This year I am lumping the cheer ALL together...in one big marathon!

I have been making a few gifts this year. Do you ever have one or two presents you are just REALLY excited about and can't wait to give??? This year it is my project for Julie. I'll have to post a picture AFTER December 25. BUT! I think she is really going to LOVE IT...I think Ally will love hers too...

In the meantime, sometimes I just have to do something creative...This is the stitchery I did for our gift exchange at the scrapbook retreat in Fairview in November. I'm so glad Kimberly got it. She loved it and will appreciate it, being a stitcher herself!


This is the cute garland my friend Michele made and gave to each of us in Fairview.


This is the garland Allyson made to go with it so I had one for each door to the patio!

I'm making a little something for each of our kids' families too. More pictures will have to wait till after Santa comes...

You are crazy ambitious. Our family has discussed making homemade gifts for Christmas, but I think I would have to start in January to be ready for December. I can't wait to see the goods!
