I hope everyone has all their Christmas wishes come true!!!
We are celebrating tonight with my family and tomorrow morning with Santa gifts! It should be lots of fun...my grandkids are sooooooooooo excited. They are bouncing around!! If you have young children or grandchildren, you will know what I mean. It does make my Christmas, though, to share in their excitement!
If you are traveling, please take your time. I want to see everyone in the New Year!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you all!!

So it is only ONE WEEK until Christmas Eve!!!
I know I have been absent for awhile but I haven't forgotten about you!!
We have done some fun things in the past few weeks. There was a Christmas party for the residents of our building in the party room one evening.
Last night my upline, Lisa, had us demos together for our Christmas get together. We held it here in the party room and it worked out perfectly...plus no one had to make sure their house was clean, or clean up afterward. Lisa planned a few games for us to play from the TV show "Minute to Win It:. We laughed so hard and had a lot of fun. We also had a potluck dinner and a 3D projects swap. I got a beautiful fabric tree that Alley made. It is so pretty...thanks, Alley!!
I have also taken a painting class. I love to paint but I haven't done any of it since I got involved with Stampin' Up over 3 years ago. I will show you pictures of one project we did. Unfortunately the weather prevented me from going to the other 2 classes that I had signed up for. The painting surface is a 9" tall clothespin. They are too cute!! I have a 12" tall clothespin half finished...I will show you pictures when I am done!
I have most of my Christmas presents organized and wrapped...just need to finish a few cards and stocking stuffers.
If the weather cooperates, on Monday our grandkids are coming to stay until Christmas Eve when my son and "daughter" will be joining us. I am so looking forward to sharing in their Christmas excitement! Since we haven't been living with the excited children for the past month, it will be a great treat. I have plans for us to go to Victoria Park (3 blocks from us) to see the Christmas lights and maybe for some ice skating. I won't be on ice skates, though. I haven't skated for probably 30 years and I was never very good at it!!
So here are the photos of my painted project...with one Christmas card thrown in!!

Isn't this cute?! Hope you get all you need to do over the next week so you can relax and enjoy your family and friends.
So long for now,
