43 days 'til CHRISTMAS.


So, have you started thinking about Christmas yet?  I sure have!  I wish the Christmas holiday season lasted longer, so I've got my Christmas music playing and am so ready to start decorating!  I've found a few more vintage ornaments to add to my collection too.  One day I hope to have enough to make one of these:

I have even started my shopping. 

Has anyone heard of the Perplexus Epic?  I'm thinking about getting this for my son. 

And I am super excited about a " dear daughter" journal that we personalized for my daughter for Christmas.  I found the idea at how does she? and the adorable journal at paper coterie.

Joel just made THIS for Izzy's AG doll for Christmas.  He did a great job and now I get to paint it and work on the bedding.  I hope she likes it!

** If you need a couple of ideas, I'd wholeheartedly recommend the games Skipbo and Zingo.  We love playing these together as a family and have lots of fun and laughs. **


I'd love to hear any ideas you have too!
