feeling good
I’m feeling good about myself this morning …
… our family christmas cards are ready to be put in the mail
Since I make cards for a living, I always feel this self-induced pressure to send out my ‘best creation yet’ for our holiday card.
But by the end of the season, I’m typically out of new ideas and our card doesn’t get the royal treatment. This year was no exception, but I did go to the extra effort to hand cut each one and I do love how they turned out.
p.s. If you’re last name is Jamieson, Ostan, Coonrad or Allen … would you mind sending me your address?
… teacher gifts are finished and packaged.
The boys’ beloved teachers are getting a set of gift tags with some string and a navy blue flower pin.
A little something out of the norm for their sweet teachers.
… while taking these photos, santa’s little helper found my stack of tissue.
I think gift un-wrapping will be very exciting for her this year.
… but I’ll tell you what I’m not feeling good about …
Our christmas tree stand didn’t enjoy being moved {for the third time this season} and decided to fall over just minutes after admiring it in its new perfect spot. Oops. Only a few ornaments were injured in the fall, but we now have a tree with a broken stand leaning against the wall.
We are hosting a big party here on Saturday, so I guess the good news is that it will be fixed by then. Don’t you love hosting parties for that very reason? All of the little tasks you’ve wanted to finish get done {and the bathrooms get cleaned as well}.
…
Now off I go to the mall to buy myself some boots. And maybe a skirt. Or two.
