Busy, Busy, Busy...

Time sure flies by. It is already the end of the semester...and I realized that I have so much to do. My little business is also keeping me quite busy. Damon and I joke with each other that someone forgot to call the maid to come take care of the very basic things in the house...only wish it was that easy. It seems like things creep up on me without really even realizing where time has gone. I get everything done...but sometimes just in the nick of time. We hope that everyone is healthy and happy. I will write again once next week is done.

Black Friday...

Hello! Damon and I ventured out early this morning. Last week I had seen the personalized cutter/die cut machine on an infomerical early one morning before I headed out to work. I was automatically hooked. The only thing was...the price. It was $250 PLUS shipping...last night after we got home from Thanksgiving...sure was yummy and wonderful to be with my family, we started looking at some of the ads on the internet. We came across the Wal-Mart add, and behold...the Cricut was going to be on sale TODAY...for a MUCH lower price. SO...we promptly went to bed (9:00 pm) and laid there and laid there. I was like a little girl...I was so excited to maybe have the chance to get this cool new gadget. So...3:15 AM...I woke up and got Damon around, and we were headed to a Wal=Mart who was going to have these Cricut machines. dWe thought we were going to have to wait around until 5:00 AM to purchase...but they let us check out about 4:45...we then headed to Macy's...we had to pick up a Christmas gift...SHHH...I can't tell what we got. Then headed to Bath & Body Works to get some wall flowers...then home so that Damon could sleep a couple of hours before had to head to work. I have already used the machine...It is going to be SOOOO much fun to use! I am going to get a space cleared out for the Christmas tree...that is our project for tonight if my family is not doing anything together. We had a lovely snow yesturday...nothing like snow to put you in the Holiday spirit. We are also thinking of doing the 12 days of Christmas for two single older ladies in our ward. I hope that you all are enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend!

Happy Holidays...already?

Happy Holidays...already?

I was out and about running errands today...and you would of thought Christmas was just a view days away. I went into Hobby Lobby to pick up some ribbon and I could not even make my way through the Christmas Seasonal isle ways. I love the joy and energy of the holiday season. So many people have gotten away from doing for others in the way of service...helping the needy. I hear what some people spend on 'things' for gifts and it makes my mouth drop open. As I get older, I basically have everything I need in life...and what I don't have, I can go out and get for myself. My husband and I were going to buy each other our passports for Christmas. My in-laws live in Canada...we need to be prepared to go at anytime if the need arises. My mom is actually buying our passports for our Christmas gift. A few years ago, we went to go see WICKED with almost front row center tickets. I would much rather do something all together with my family then get things that are just 'things' to set around the house. One of my grandmas gives to us each year a piece of china or something from my relatives that have passed on. Things are the "THINGS" that I LOVE to get. What I am trying to get at is that too many people are getting away from the Spirit of Christmas. I encourage you to get back to the basics, find someone who might be in need that you could help out.
