 |  Are you ready for Christmas?
We have had a super-busy month full of Christmas festivities and shopping and wrapping gifts. I'm done shopping, although I'm still waiting for a few items to be shipped to my house. I'm nearly done wrapping, except for the aforementioned gifts/parcels being sent via post. Wednesday is the last day of school before the two week holiday break for the kids. Nice! (Sleeping in for two weeks! Woohoo!) The kids are counting down the days to Christmas Day and can hardly wait! My brother will be traveling to stay with us for the weekend, which is an extra special treat.
I hope you are all enjoying this lovely holiday season and the true spirit of Christmas. 'Tis the reason for the season! God bless!
Hugs!!  |

Like Julene I'm just waiting for a couple of last minute things to be delivered but I've managed all the other parcelling up - just got to hide them now as my son and his family arrive Friday morning and I need the parcels out of the way before the grandchildren see them.

Julene, you are super duper organised!
I haven't even started yet - haven't even written on a Christmas Card or even got any to write on! Kind of ironic really seeing as I design them all day! My daughter is over from the UK and has confiscated my car so I am kind of stuck - hopefully I can get some shopping done tomorrow!
Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It's been a bit manic here, my daughter went ice skating on Sunday and sprained her ankle so is off school, then at 4am this morning she woke me up because she'd been ill and we both spent the next hour and half in the bathroom. Needless to say I'm at home all day today and the shopping is just going to have to wait.
Fingers crossed all will be back to normal tomorrow so I can get everything done that needs doing

No, no, no... I'm really not that organized. You should see how much I've fallen behind with taking care of the house while I've been working on Christmas preparations. I've got to get caught up this week, though, before we have guests.
I'm a little nervous since some of the packages I've ordered are expected to arrive on the 24th. Barely in time... if they do indeed make it here by then. *fingers crossed*
I also have not sent out Christmas cards, yet. They will be a bit late this year.
