Thoughts of Christmas

Layout based on Shimelle's Sketch of the Week

Thoughts of Christmas:

  • While I made this layout to highlight the humor of my family's procrastination tendencies - this year we aren't swapping gifts, at least not this way.  I'm a little bummed. I'll miss the adrenalin rush. 
  • I'm seriously considering putting up our Christmas tree tomorrow. Is that nuts?  I normally insist we don't put it up until two weeks prior.  I might be having a mid-life crisis. 
  • I think there are several reasons I'm considering putting it up early this year.  1. We're getting company for Thanksgiving.   2. After Thanksgiving - life gets crazy(er)  3. When we put it up two weeks prior, we're so busy running to parties and events, there are years that nobody actually sees our tree and I think my tree might be a narcissist and wants to be seen by more than just the six of us.  4. I need a place to put the gifts. 
  • I put together my 2010 Christmas card album this last week, and that album is being featured over at Scrapbook Steals. It's always my goal to get last years book put together before this years cards start coming.  *pumps fist*  Done!
  • Speaking of Christmas (because we are) - my Souvenirs of the Season class can be purchased along with my Stamping 101 class for a two'fer price!  It's me at a bargain!   Save 24% if you purchase both together. 
  • While we pondered going up north to my mom's for Christmas this year, that planned changed slightly when we remembered we have a dog now.  Yeah.  Today's plan is that - weather depending - I'll go up with the kids after Christmas, and Greg will relaminate our kitchen cupboards while we're gone. For far less than $16,000.  *wink* 
  • I haven't really started shopping yet. 
  • And I haven't given much thought to our Christmas cards yet either. 
  • I guess I'll still get that adrenalin rush after all.....

If Greg wants to come, bring the dog.

I meant the dog, but I suppose it could apply to either.

I totally thought you meant my husband looked sweet.

Tippy is sweet :)
Love the card album. Most adorable.
I could refinish your cupboards. I need a job!
