Over the next few days, I will be baking for a women's shelter and for gift giving. The sugar cookie dough is ready for chillin'.
The Christmas mugs I bought yesterday from Pottery Barn (buy two get one free) are ready for fillin'.
Wednesday and Thursday were whirlwind days for me. I love Saturdays because they are quiet and free of obligations (except for Zack's baseball pratice from 3-4:30 pm). There's time for cleaning, crafting, baking. Last nite I started making holiday tags with my recycled cereal boxes and bits of scrapbooking paper.
I also did a little cross-stitching and tried my hand at a crocheted stocking. I didn't much like the pattern. Was too fiddly to hold as I crocheted round and round. Will look for another pattern to try.
So much I want to do. I CANNOT believe it is December 11th. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend in your neck of the woods! Friendship Blessings, Tammy
Hi Tammy,

Dearest Tammy,
ReplyDeleteQuite nice projects for a noble cause... Your handicrafts look okay, it is just cute and in the right colors.

Love your decorations on here
Oh my gosh, you have been busy- tag making, crocheting, baking and cross stitch. I love the idea of recycling cereal boxes for craft supplies- great card stock!
ReplyDeleteI also love hunkering
ReplyDeletedown days, Tammy!
Lucky for us, we are
having a blizzard today
and all kid activities
were cancelled, so it
will truly be cozy as
we wrap and write and
hopefully sneak in a
movie or two. Thinking
about you across the
world! Big hugs!
xx Suzanne
PS: Thanks for your
heartfelt comments.

I can't believe it is December 11 already! I am doing much of nothing today. I designated it as "play with baby photos" day! lol Merry Christmas!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings~
ISN'T THAT SOMETHING..12/11/10
ReplyDeleteTIME IS JUST FLYING BY...LOVE YOUR MUGS, I COLLECT HOLIDAY MUGS TOO... YOUR TAGS ARE CUTE......WELL, BACK TO DECORATING....HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND.......RIZZI
I am not surprised that you are doing something for a worthy cause. Can't believe you didn't tell me of your little find at Pottery Barn. I'm gonna have to go there to get some of those mugs, that's if you didn't take them all. The only thing I have been crafting are cookies. Its so true how this month goes by so fast because everyone is just busy with the holidays. Happy crafting and making people happy:)
ReplyDeleteit all looks so very merry!
ReplyDeleteDecember is going far too fast, please slow it down!!! What sweet tags, you've been one busy girl! Enjoy that coffee, sounds like something I will join you in. Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy, We are having a super snowy weekend in my neck of the woods...the biggest snow in 19 years.
ReplyDeleteA bit of cinnamon in coffee sounds good. Lately, I am into drinking chai tea every morning with splash of milk and honey.
Time is ticking away and I can't seem to get into the baking Christmas routine. I bet you have a lot of "tasters" in your house. I hope your days are Merry and Christmas brings a wonderful joy to your heart! Hugs ♥
ReplyDeleteYes, Tammy, time's flying! I know it will all get done somehow for all of us. Lovely sounding coffee and cute tags, too. Diane
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of your laptop and coffee, I have a similar one on my new blog! happy holidays!

I love your Christmas header Tammy!!
ReplyDeleteI thought about making a Christmas theme on mine but didn't want to wreck the whole thing!!!
The cross stitch and card making is a nice way to relax and destress I feel - it works with me!
How wonderful to help the women's refuge - especially at this time.
Have you got a pottery barn in Q8???
Christmas hugs
