holiday rush

man oh man... i just don't know where the days are going.  at this rate it is going to be the new year before you know it.  thanksgiving vacation went quickly didn't it.

i have been filling my hours with projects.  projects that aren't so easy to talk about here because they are christmas gifts and i don't want to spoil the surprise, but i have become one with my sewing machine as of late.  if i didn't appreciate her before, i sure do now.  i can't wait to share all the exciting projects i have been working on after the holidays.

this weekend we visited my brother-in-law and one day sister-in-law for a work party at their house.  there were lots of little tasks we helped them with from installing dimmer switches to fixing some existing fixtures around the house.  in exchange Rainier and Baker will be spending their holiday vacation with S&B.  isn't the barter system wonderful? 

tonight i am headed to a holiday meal with a bunch of amazing women... tomorrow back to sewing.  the next couple of weeks are my favorite of the year... this weekend christmas will explode in my house.  i can't wait.
