Aspirin and a Stiff Shot of Jack

ought to fix this back. Unfortunately for me, fortunate for all I'd encounter, I do not drink. So I took the aspirin.
My hubby decided to play "good egg" today and help me with a few things. I was thankful for the help.
No present wrapping yet since I forgot a homemade item for them all, easy to do, just a bit time consuming. Teach me to brag I'm all done.

I really enjoy the Christmas season. The church cookie exchanges, programs, etc. What makes Christmas special for you?

Hey Kids, What Time Is It?

It's time for Christmas Shopping. (Don't hate me because I am all done)
I still have to wrap umpteen gifts and I have been finished for, hmmmmmm, about a month. Mercy, the postman in our small town of 250 people is going to be so disgusted with me. Nothing like waiting till the last minute to mail.
I hope you all have a fantastic week-end, find bargains galore then hurry and beat me to the mail box. lolol
Toodles for today.

Hello My Two Followers

I have missed you. lol

I would much rather do gourds, painting, beading, and just general Christmas gift making than that nasty four letter word called work.

Houses need cleaned, food needs cooked, floors need scrubbed, (yes, I still do that.) We won't say how, but it gets done. So when I am absent it is with good reason.

I have also not felt well. So forgive me until I return, and I must now find out why this Save Now button is automatically doing an autosave. GRR. Catch ya later

HEY Y'ALL, JUMP IN HERE AND SIGN UP

You don't want to miss this folks. These are super looking handbags. So click on over there on the handbag button on the right and get in on the fun.

Quite the switch up round here

We had a gorgeous day of sunshine today. I loved it!! It sure beat yesterday, when I awoke to no electricity. (Naturally our heat out here in the boonies needs electricity to kick on) Perfect excuse for sitting in a chair bundled up with my 2 poodles on my lap. Believe you me, that is just what I did. Stick a hand out and read the Bible or a magazine for awhile then shove it under again for warmth. That got old by 4 p. m. Had to call hubby's work and they brought me (us) out a generator and heater to use.
So, do you think they deserve a plate of cookies or some fudge? I sure do. Even though the electicity was on half an hour after they got me fixed up..........it is such a blessing to know they are kind and caring people.
Enough of this woman's country rambling........later.
