Photo Sunday - trying my hand at making coiled baskets.  This is one I made for a Christmas gift.

I was so productive the last couple of days I'm not sure what I'm going to do today :)   The boys are spending the night but won't be arriving until later this afternoon.  So.......I'll have some more caffeine and maybe I can come up with a plan!

Have a wonderful day!

The Christmas decorations are put away......well, let me rephrase that - they're in the garage in the tubs, not quite put away.  That's one of my jobs today.  The winter decorations are up and just a bit of straightening up is needed in a couple of rooms.  So, I'll finish that stuff up today.  Tonight is birthday dinner night for Sara and her Mom, so that will be a nice end to the day!  

Have a great day!

The card - trees are stamped on a strip of patterned paper.  Sentiment piece is die cut.    Super easy!

Well, Christmas is over.  Feeling kind of sad about that - I've had a great  Christmas season and I hate for it to end :).  But, it's time to move on, so today I will take down the Christmas decorations and put up the winter stuff!  

Have a wonderful day!

The card - background panel is embossed.  I stamped the sentiment on the panel before I embossed.  Dove is die cut and popped up.

Off to do a bit of volunteer work for awhile today.  But looking forward to our annual chili dinner at Jeff and Sara's and then a drive around town to look at lights.  

Have a terrific day!

Off to breakfast/lunch with a friend and then maybe a movie or just checking out shops.  It's still a plan in progress :)  But, it will be a nice break and good time spent with a friend whatever we do!

One last (I think) Christmas get together tonight.  I still haven't figured out the menu so I need to do that so I can go to the store :).  That's about it for today (unless I'm forgetting something important, which is always a possibility :)

Have a wonderful day!

Making peanut brittle this morning.  After that's finished I need to make some salad and dessert for lunch.  Another  Christmas lunch with friends today!   Need to work on a couple of gifts if there's time left in the day.   Only a week left 'til Christmas - almost time to panic :)

Have a wonderful day!

The card - super simple, but one of my favorites.  Background has a strip of patterned paper with a mat border of gold.  Sentiment is heat embossed with gold.  Add some gold/black twine.  Easy peasy!

Off this morning for one last round of training for my new volunteer job.  After this I guess they figure I'll be ready to work by myself :)  I won't start til after the new year, but I am looking forward to this new adventure!
