Holiday Woes

31 days until Christmas.
I have nothing done.
No gifts. No gift ideas.
No Christmas Cards to send.
Jeez! What's up with me this year?
I do have the tree up and the stockings hung.
I've also been working on a Daily December scrapbook that details each day leading up to Christmas. (I'll post those pages in December as they're done)
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock.
I gotta get myself together!
Maybe I'll brave Black Friday this year.
Notta chance.

I'm Back!

My computer died and had to be shipped back to Denver this week for repairs. I just got it back and am ready to update you!

The Tree went up this week, and finally got decorated tonight.

We went to Olive Garden for lunch today then picked the one zillion apples that fell off the apple tree onto our yard. Then we watched Grumpy Old Men.
Now we're watching Wizard of Oz. Why does this movie always come on TV around Thanksgiving and Christmas? It's not exactly a "holiday" movie.

Trees and things

Happy Vote Day!

It's 6:00 pm here, we're starting to see some results trickle in, but it's still too early to know who our next President will be.

Last week the Jim's had our tree in the backyard trimmed way back. They actually wanted to cut it down, but I just couldn't agree to that ;0)

Also, I finished painting my new Craft Room (technically, it's just an empty room still, but I have grand ideas for it).

For months have been scouring websites to look at other people's scrapbook spaces (my absolute favorite is this one). I have poured over color schemes and paint samples, and finally decided on a delicious teal color. Here's a preview...

It is quite a bit bolder than it looked on a 3" sample, but I think once I get all my stuff in there, it will be just perfect. A room that is fun and fresh and inspiring. The perfect place to scrap. That reminds me of a quote I saw recently: I craft because it's cheaper than therapy. Funny.
