Seems like these last few weeks have flown by! Have been having lots of fun. Mackenzie's swim season ended and we went to her year end banquet. She won an unexpected award for top freshman swimmer and also received her Varsity Letter! Needless to say, she was pretty darn proud of herself and certainly intends to continue swimming next season.
Steven has found a new passion for flag football. I'm trying to talk him into signing up for a league starting in January. Maybe there is still hope for the kid who really only likes to ride his bike as far as sports go. I think if he just gave it a try he'd really like it!
In other news......Steven's garden is really taking off. We have 21 tomatoes between the two plants, many jalapenos and really the only thing not doing well is my basil. Something......I think possibly a bird, ate it.
I've been trying to get some stamping done and did spend all last Sunday working on some of my X-mas cards for this year. this first image is from the Cat's Pajamas new Kitty Kat pack that I received in the mail.
The second card is from the Papertrey, Boards & Beams set. This is a very fun set, but does take some time and patience. Not one to do in multiples........that's for sure.
Oh, what the heck, since I haven't been a very good poster, let me show you one more.
This is also another image from the Cat's Pajamas new Kitty Kat pack. I do have a few more cards to share but I think I'll save those for another day.
Can't believe next week is Thanksgiving, which I happen to be hosting. Sixteen people will be at my very unclean house next Thursday and then Friday night, after my crazy Black Friday day of bargain shopping, my father arrives for his winter visit. IF his flight is on-time (highly unlikely) he'll arrive at 10pm.
So my goals for this weekend:
1. Start X-mas shopping. I have one gift purchased and that's it!
2. Start hauling out X-mas and get the tree ready to go up.
3. Get some more cards stamped.
4. Make a list of exactly who I'm buying for this year.
5. Figure out the teacher gifts.
6. Make a list of wine/ beverages for Turkey day.
7. Call about rock for the yard at the rental home since I don't think John will ever finish this project unless I step back into the game.
8. Wash my car.....my poor baby doesn't even know what color she is anymore.
9. Drop off the clothing rack to Aunt Darlene so she doesn't disown me as a niece.
10. Workout so I can eat Turkey dinner.
If I accomplish all of the above I will be thrilled to death!
