Down to the Wire!

Only 3 more days! I'm still managing to keep my sanity. I think trying to keep it simple has been really helpful. Focusing on some hand made gifts and enjoying Ryan's events at school has really kept the spirit of the season for me.

This weekend we went to see Babes in Toyland at a local children's theater. It was wonderful. Ryan really enjoyed it. We will certainly be back there for other performances.

Last weekend we visited Hershey, PA for their Christmas celebration. It was awesome! DH picked up these candles for gifts for his co-workers. I wrapped them up with some kisses and a pack of hot chocolate. Can I tell you how good these smelled?? The tag is done with a Stampin Up stamp, Sweet and Sassy Stamps border and some old Paper Salon paper. They were quick and fun to do.




Here is one of the last Christmas cards I've made. I actually dreamed about that sentiment. Isn't that wierd?? I dream about making cards! I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder, rhinestones, K and Co. paper and a Melissa Frances glittered chipboard piece.




To cap off our weekend, we had a visitor last night. Santa dropped by for a visit! He brought Ryan a pen, a coloring book, some crayons and a candy cane. The look on his face when Santa asked him if he's been a good boy was PRICELESS! He's still a little freaked out by the man in red, and I thought he was going to cry when Santa asked him that. I jumped in and saved him, though. I told Santa he's been good when it counts. :)



Thanks for stopping by. Hope all of your holiday preparations are going smoothly. Happy Hannukah to all of my Jewish friends!!!
