Well I do hope everyone is ready for the big day.
I believe I am done. The baking done, along with the shopping & wrapping. The only thing that is missing this year, are those darn Christmas cards. I swear the time to get those done, is getting harder and harder every year. I should start them the day after Christmas, and mail them out at Easter, and then maybe I would be on time. What is sad is that there's a brand new box of card here. I guess I better put that on my 2009 improvement to-do list. At least I will have a brand new box of cards ready to go.
Now could that snow quit falling here. My goodness we have had enough, and it can quit anytime, now. Guess what? It's snowing as I type this, it's the first of the 2 new storms we are suppose to get today & tomorrow. Just lovely for that holiday travel that we get to do tomorrow. So on that last note-
I do wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas, may it be a joyous one for you and your family.

Whoa Momma!

{picture taken within the first 3 hours of storm-there was no snow prior to picture on the ground, also didn't capture the blowing winds were getting. Snowing an 1-2 inches an hour.}
We are getting hit by a big snow storm at this very moment. Guess what this means? Snow day for Moi! Yes, it's coming down that hard. When the snow started this morning at 4:20 AM we had about an inch in 20 minutes. Then it really started to come down and it's still going quite strong. This was also suppose to be my last full day of work, before the holiday vacation was to start. I can't say I mind starting that vacation a day early. LOL
Is everyone done shopping? I plan on getting done this weekend. I do have to rave about www.amazon.com I did some shopping on there Tuesday morning and they shipped (free) 2 hours later. My package arrived the next day, no kidding! Plus by shopping on there, the 2 items I ordered there, I saved $33 on my items, and with the free shipping, I was in shopping heaven.
Well thats the highlights around here. I hope to find more time to blog while I'm on vacation.

Happy Wednesday!

Hope everyone is doing well, and getting their holiday to-do lists done. There is nothing exciting from me to post about, maybe this weekend. Until then, keep safe.

I must share this with you, I think this is funny.

Snow Day

The view out my window today. Lots of yucky snow, but the good thing about it. I got a snow day from work. So I have had one nice long Thanksgiving break. Only a couple of more weeks, and it will be time for Christmas break. Of course more snow days are welcome.
Here is picture of what I have been doing this weekend. They are hand sewn bear dolls from a pattern in Elsie's class. There is one more not in the photo, it's of a bunny that I had to create for Sarah. I have to say they are fun to make, if you like to hand sew.

Okay, that's about all for now! Stay warm.
