Yay!!! We made it back home without any problems – although some parts of the road were still in rough shape. It’s only a 3 hour drive, but it’s not a very interesting one. So, it gave me plenty of time to think about how I should spend my Christmas money! Here’s what I’ve been mulling over:

Swap Packages
Yay, we made it here without a hitch – but boy is it cold and did the weather ever turn nasty!!!! But enough about the weather – before we left on our trip, I had a wonderful time opening the swap packages that had arrived in the mail! First off, I got my ornaments from ‘cyndiq’. These are machine embroidered (the camera doesn’t pick it up, but she used a metalic thread on both) with beading on the hangers. These will make a nice addition to next year’s tree – we managed to take our decorations down on Thursday.
And We’re Off!
Since our plans changed last week due to weather and illness, we’re giving traveling another go today.
New Shirt
As much as I want to start a bunch of other projects, I decided that I really need some new long sleeve shirts. It was a toss up between making a long sleeved Jalie Crossover Top (which would mean altering the sleeve length) or using my new Emma One Sock Heavy Metal stretch fabric (which would mean deciding on a pattern to use).
High Street Messenger Complete

The Day After
I hope that everyone had a wonderful, restful 3 day weekend and is ready to start back up the week! Much of our day yesterday was spent playing UNO Attack
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope that each and every one of you have a wonderful day filled with good company, food, and presents.
C Is For Cookie
Like millions of other folks, today (or for those of you on the other side of the world, yesterday) is a day for baking. I can’t take credit for these, however. These peanut butter blossoms are Taylor’s creation (and they are yummy).
How To Be A Hostess
Yesterday was spent mostly relaxing – Bret napped all afternoon, Taylor made Christmas cards for everyone (I think 16 total), and I did a bit of work on my messenger bag. I had planned on staying away from any store that sold anything that could be given as a Christmas gift (crowd avoidance) – until Bret said that he had read all of his books…..
