Yup, quiet around here, as usual.
November and December are always mad crazy months. With the holidays and all, who has time for anything, really?
I’ve been crafting up a storm in preparation for the holidays since last month. Last night and today, I was working on our holidays cards on the ol’ Gocco.
I am also making some mini buttons, marble magnets and a slew of homemade bath products for presents. I do admit to a little bit of Christmas shopping… at least we do a “White Elephant” gift exchange for my extended family. I do love finding gifts for my immediate family, though. I like to think very hard about what they would enjoy and the expression on their face when they find out what I gave them. Good stuff.
We also have been fixing up the house in preparation for our winter party. Our latest addition is what I fondly call the “Moon Room”:
We are hoping to add some little glow in the dark stars to the wall with the moon on it. I wish we could paint the wall, but alas, the woes of renting.
Earlier today, I received this fortune cookie:
It is the quintessential fortune cookie, no? I also cringed a bit when I saw that they used Comic Sans for the font on these fortunes.
I am off on a trip with my parents and brother to Mexico within a few hours. I’m a bit anxious about leaving home in the midst of all the holiday preparation, but I’m confident that it will all be just fine. The house and the rest of the holiday duties are in the capable hands of K.
I think I need a bit of relaxation, anyway.
Hasta luego, kiddos!
Happy Holidays!
