some colorful gifts from carol firing me up this monday morning.
I’m feeling everything rainbow this month. I think it’s all the white I’m living in. it needs little bursts of color.
emergency late night craft project
for a certain someone’s first missing tooth! (inspired by stephanie’s adorable pillow that I remembered from years ago)
some last minute holiday making
puffs for the toes
and cookies for santa
festivus
The gingerbread house was made. And I swore considerably less than last year which was my goal. Love this roof! All Oscar’s idea. Here’s a pic from the front.
My sister brought us do-it-yourself diorama ornaments from Paper Source and we got to go crazy with glitter. Finished pic here.
The caramel corn is made and tinned and is, as advertised, crazy good.
All my presents are wrapped, my handmade gifts (all two of them) are on track for being finished in time, all my teachers gifts are delivered, the kids are off school, I’ve made peace with all the things I didn’t get to this year (Christmas cards, the gifts I didn’t get bought and in the mail on time, baking, many more handmade gifts) and I’m ready to relax and play in the snow and wait for the big day. Ahhhh. And this is all a 180 from the basketcase I was last week. I think with Christmas you just have to get over the hump. The too-late-to-mail-stuff cut off can be its own gift.
yes!
“this branch is perfect! just how I wanted it.”
six!
count em! two hands! there was a bowling party and a lego show, lots and lots of toys, lots of lego assembling by mom and dad and a transformers cake and not one single good photo was taken of any of it. december birthdays don’t really leave much time for reflection. I know I should be freaked out about how fast time is passing but really, six sounds just right. happy birthday oscar!
hey turkeys
Hope your team wins and your bird’s not dry, no one loses it during scattegories and everyone is home safely tucked in bed at 4am. Happy Thanksgiving!
