good afternoon! I hope you have all the stockings hung and the quilts bound and wrapped. All my homemade presents are wrapped and under the tree patiently waiting for Christmas. I’ll try and snap a few pictures and post them to instagram over the next couple days. Mom and I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season. I have been trying to get back online for some Christmas pictures, but I have been so busy trying to finish up quilts so they could be picked up by their owners. The last Christmas present was picked up this morning…so it is nice to have those on their way under their trees.
So, today I have pictures of our trees…this year I admit, I was NOT in the holiday spirit of things. After some Christmas music and holiday movies and some awesome present ideas and snuggling with the doggies…I’ve come around to Christmas with not to much time to spare. (I did have a nasty cold/flu thing last weekend…the cough has hung on for almost 2 weeks now so that kinda put a damper on things.)
Getting back to it…I do have some pictures though…
