I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was the usual rush, rush, rush, but that's our life and it works most of the time. We are just lucky our families live so close to each other.
The rain really messed up my shopping plans, it rained so darn hard! A couple days off and it started again tonight, a lot. Glad stores stayed open late, Sears has saved me a couple of years in a row, they seem to sell a little of everything for everybody. My mom and dad will be returning their Cannon blankies, kind of like a Snuggie but classier I thought, way too big, heavy, and warm for them. I hate returns!! I knitted a ton of scarves and I think the people were happy with them. Even made one for an almost 3 year old! I sewed a folklorico skirt for the same little niece, I used to sew a lot more and should do it more. The only other thing I crafted was a chip board album for my Secret Santa at work. Oh, I did make floral arrangements also. I'll be forever grateful to Bill Coleman, my flower teacher from so many years ago. I got to spend quite a lot of the day with my youngest sister, Sandy who lives in Tehachapie. It is quite a drive to Whittier, her family ends up celebrating Christmas the 26th. Thankfully, they got home all right tonight. Church was the loser of our attention this year. Shopping and wrapping were the thing. My "Favorite Thing" a la Oprah, this year was a clear, craft bucket of cardboard tags. They are almost done and the bucket will become one of my craft containers!!! We spent last night at Nev's brother's and sister in law's house with his parents and the other brother and 6 kids. They were so excited and had so much energy!! Today was spent with my family but Nev excused himself at 2 to watch the Lakers play. Oh well! I have been tamaled out, they are delicious and think I better freeze that last dozen I have in the fridge. Again, Merry Christmas to all!!! Robin
