How was everyone's weekend? I keep thinking I'll catch up with things, but it's just not happening, or at least not quickly. I'm much looking forward to having next week off! Anyone else on vacation between Christmas and New Years?
Saturday we shipped out the last of our Christmas orders, and discovered a new packaging technique that we're excited to use in 2011. I worked on my super-secret Christmas gift, and we watched Disney's A Christmas Carol with Jim Carey. That story never gets old, does it?
Yesterday, my mom and I got together to do some baking. We made chocolate covered cherry cookies{partially done in above picure}, snack mix and three batches of fudge {two plain, one with nuts}. It was just the right amount of baking. Lots of goodies, but we didn't push ourselves past the point of it being fun. I finished setting up my gift project late last night and it will be complete before today is over.
I cannot believe Christmas is this week! I'm so excited to spend some good, quality time with our family. I am so very, very blessed!
Here's to a week full of joy, and getting all those loose ends tied up!
Are you ready for the holiday, or are you still scrambling to finish things up?
I have a last minute scramble on my hands. The gift Aub told me he wanted - (which was wrapped and under the tree already) has to be taken back because he informed me that there is a "better" widget... anyway, this is the second gift I have purchased for him that will be returned. I am at the end of my rope... and my SIL told me to get "Eclipse" for one of my nieces. So, I got it and wrapped it - only to have them tell me to get the Soundtrack-- argh so that will go back today as well. And the same Brother -in Law and Sister in Law - I made a sign with their name on it and the year they got married (after I asked Aubrey to find out the year) - they texted after I finished the gift to tell me they gave us the wrong year. I am trying to have a happy Christmas but I am quickly getting sort of pissy :)
