11.30.08 - Creativity

I attended a Creative Memories card party today. The object? To make 20 cards and 20 gift tags in 3 to 4 hours. Well... 20 cards got made. Only 3 or 4 gift tags were finished at the event. I made a few more when I got home. I have materials for a few more of everything! :)

There are long cards and short cards. Cute cards and elegant cards. There are five 'flat' cards with pockets for gift cards or cash.

I am so glad they have a 'planning sheet' with all the information on it. If I had to think of what to do myself, my creativity would run screaming out the back door! And I definitely would not have gotten 20 finished!

It was fun. I'm glad I went. Perhaps you'll get one of these lovely cards!

Until next time.

11.29.2008 - Almost December

... and I missed posting my Good For Friday post. :( We'll try good for Saturday instead.

I've finished a total of 10 hats, so far, for Deb and KnittyBe (see previous posts)... I'll do a few more and get them mailed next Saturday. Pictures before they get mailed. Promise! Fulfilled!




I'm hosting my younger son and a few of his friends for a snack attack party - alcohol-free. I believe a few will be leaving to find the 'alcohol-included' party somewhere else. None of them are old enough, so it won't be MY house!

Mom headed South with her youngest sister. Youngest Sister was here to celebrate Thanksgiving. Now, Mom is going to stay with the Middle Sister for two weeks, as Middle Sister recovers from knee surgery. It will be a nice break for us all, except for maybe Mom, but she is the Big Sister and said yes when asked to help.

Until next time.

11.27.08 -- Happy Thanksgiving

I know it's late. But I was in charge, which meant I was never far from the kitchen. Mom is heading to Florida to stay with her sister(s) tomorrow and there was a lot of last minute "where's this?" and "where's that?" to be figured out.

One of the things I did was print a bunch of pictures I had taken over the past year - weddings and graduations - that my aunts could not attend or at least one of them did not attend.

I also cajoled by sons into posing with us!

So here you have my Happy Thanksgiving photo:
