Snowed Under?

Hey, are you snowed under with Christmas preparations? Feeling the stress? Waiting in anticipation for family to arrive and the festivities to begin? Well, if your ready or not Christmas is only 4 days away! Can you believe it? Where has the year gone? 

Don't panic, just prop your fuzzy socks up on that hassock, with your little glass of wine, good book or movie, and warm cozy fire beckoning and just relax and let's chat for a few minutes.

Today, I am working on some gifts for you~ my Club Hostesses. Hope you will like them! And you will be getting your new Seasonal Expression 1 Catalog!!!! It's a doozy!

Tomorrow, my grandaughter is coming to help me decorate cookies. She wanted to come anyway to do something else, which that event is a mystery to me so, I thought while she is here we can do the cookies together. Looking forward to hanging out with her.

Sunday night we hope to be in Ohio for Grandson's Church Program. We will spend the night and drive back on Christmas Day to eat lunch with Hubby's Mom and siblings.

Then, the next few days we will be getting ready for our Christmas with our family New Years weekend so I am not too stressed yet. Should I be? What will the next few days be like for all of you?

Gearing up for the New Year and events coming up! 

Looking forward to our All Day Crops that will be hosted by Vicki in January, February, March and April. They will be at Leesburg Lions again on the following dates.

January- 9 Tues.

January- 27 Saturday

February- 13 Tues.

February- 24 Saturday

March- 13- Tues.

The cost will be $10 for the day.  Pay at the door.  You may bring your lunch or go out to eat.  If the weather is  somewhat nasty,we will let you know if Vicky will bring soup for the day with you bringing something to share.  If the weather is very nasty, it will be cancelled.  We will email closer to the date so we can know how many will be coming.

So sorry...........

         

Did I say I would post every day? 

I got caught up with Saturday's Craft Sale, driving through the snow and on horrendous roads, hauling stuff in to the house and up the stairs and plopping in to bed. Twas so exhausting! 

Then, Sunday, we went to church and I got extremely tired in service, so, after coming home and fixing Hubs a salad, I went to bed~clothes and all and slept awhile. Got up and started working on projects for Christmas gifts and totally forgot this project. Our Son and 3 grand kids came for while also and that is always a distraction for me. 

Monday we traveled to Ohio for our grandson's Christmas Concert then drove back home that night. 

Tuesday, Hubs took the day off and we went to Shipshe and Goshen shopping. Again, we traveled through snow and "ugh" roads. Had a great day together and ate buffet at Essenhaus. We haven't ate there for years and were amazed at the change in the place and Yoders Dept. store. Obviously, were not Shipshe goers. Needless to say my days slipped by. 

So, here is the deal of the day..............

Friday already?

Oh dear! It's Friday and it's 5:00 p.m. already!!!! Where has my day gone????

Another late night (rather early morning) to bed, late getting up, went for a massage then home to work on projects again.

The day went very fast and here I am behind on the next Blog post! I will make this quick and show you what I am making. These will make really fun Stocking Stuffers for teachers, Mom, Grandma, and any other person on your list you give a little gift too.

The top two are made with coasters in the center, lots of retired papers and using the Cricut for the designs. I used the Flower Market, Art Phylosophy, and bought a couple from Cricut. Click here to see where you can get the little calendars   Calendar Pads.

This is just a covered coaster with a Post It Note and ribbons on the clip. I did stamp a bit on it. You can decorate these however you want to.

I don't remember where I got the coasters, but, if you google plain coasters you should be able to find them. 

Well, that's it for today. Just don't forget the Calendar Kit is only available this month and it's flying off the shelves, so if your thinking you wanted one or more ya better order it real soon.
