Congratulations, Marth...uh, Miss Kitty!!!

Congratulations! I hope to work on mine tonight. Just getting up some Christmas decs and now must clean up the mess. I am also making a Marine scrapbook for my dad for Christmas. So much to do, so little time!

That is so sweet....I know your dad will love it!

Y'all. I have to go to church with white paint on my fingernails that won't come off.

Tell 'em it's the latest fashion in manicures!

Finished!!! Merry Christmas dear SoWaller!

It is small but filled with good intentions. The first ornament I made was a diaster....things do not turn out like the picture . It will be mailed tomorrow.

FINISHED!
Will be shipped today. I don't like it...... I may have to make more!

Do we put our return address or keep it a secret and hide our name inside? What is the proper process...someone who knows or cares please!

I think it's fine to put the return address.....they will see where it's postmarked from anyway.

Tell me...
I put lights on the same tree twice today. Then decorated that tree, and another one. Put garland and lights on the stair rail, hung wreaths, went to wal-mart , went to Kohl's, went to Sonic. Decorated some more, made lemoncello, cooked dinner, boxed up ornament. I don't even know what freakin' day it is, and it's still a while til Christmas, right?

DD: Congrats on making the limoncello. Did you make the limoncello cream and how did it come out? I keep mine in the fridge even though it's supposed to be OK if you don't because the alcohol is supposed to keep the milk from going bad. Frankly, limoncello is best kept in the freezer before serving. So... how did it come out? And congrats on having a productive day. Maybe you can sit back and enjoy the holidays now! I spent much of yesterday on snapfish.com ordering holiday presents (lots of photo puzzles which seem like a great gift, a few photo mugs, and two photo dog dishes).

Hey Paula! No I just made the liquor. It's brewing out in the spa room...Wednesday's the day to finish. I am gonna make the cream next though. I keep the liquor in the freezer, but I've got some pretty tall gift bottles, so am in a dilemma--maybe just decant it when gift giving time comes. Will probably need your advice on the cream....this weekend.....
Yesterday, I found out just how wonderful technology is. I took my grandson's photo in front of the tree, uploaded to Walgreen's, picked out a holiday card, ordered them and picked them up in the span of an hour and a half!! I tell you, it's a wonderful thing when a plan comes together.
Thanks for checking on me...

The ornament, not the check is in the mail. :clap_1: However, they are probably going to wish they had the check instead of the ornament when they see it.
