Wild Wednesday!

Yep it's another one of those, as I've got all kinds of errands to get done and finish up my Christmas baking, as I want to get a box of goodies shipped off to Danny.  He did find out his assignment after he is finished with his schooling.  He will be leaving for Japan in July 2011.  He is very excited about this and said he is ready for anything and everything that comes his way.  Oh to be young again and invincible! 

I survived my craft show weekend, which brought back all the memories of how FUN they are!  But oh the work in getting things ready and then surviving a busy, hectic day with shoppers!  The #1 seller was my decorated CANDY BARS!!  I woulda never thought that, but was HAPPY!!!!

My share for today is another item that was a good seller!!!  I am always so happy when I find the little things that I can afford to keep the price low on and find that my customers enjoy them too!  They are those paper mache boxes that you see at every craft store and I just decorated them up, so that they were more Christmasie and they make the perfect gifting box!  I painted them a Christmas green, I took some SU background paper and covered the top.  Of course I had to place some ribbon on them too, cause nothing is finished until it has RIBBON on it!!

I hope your day is a calmer then mine!

Windy Wednesday!

It is very windy out there, which equals BRRRR!!!  We have some flurries going on, but nothing much is sticking around.  It's just cold and gray out there.  Even the deer are hiding!

I've still been putzing on items for the BIG weekend at Sweet Peas and the Craft show on this Saturday.  This weekend at Sweet Peas they are having their annual "Holiday Open House".  All in all, it just means that I've been BUSY!!! 

Can you believe that it's already December?  Seems like it was just August and I was wondering if fall was ever going to arrive!  Guess I missed it, cause now there is snow on the ground and the temps have dropped!

Today's share is something that I worked very hard on!  I received this idea many years ago from my friend Piney; http://www.pinefeather.typepad.com  She loves to make journals and she shared her idea of the 12 days of Christmas, which she got from Ali Edwards; http://www.aliedwards.com.  So yes it's a 12 days of CHRISTMAS journal.  The purpose of this journal is to take a few minutes outta of your day to jot down something that you enjoyed about one of the 12 days.  I have found it valuable, as it made me think about each of these days and remember the little things that are IMPORTANT to me.  I have gone back through these journals and they bring fond memories and BIG smiles to my heart!  I hope you will take time to make one of your own.  Even a little note book would do the job!

Hope your day is filled with fond memories!
