Beginning to Feel Like Christmas

We are having our first Christmas Party today... my BFF from high school, her hubby and 4 month old little guy. I went shopping for all the goodies last night. Traffic wasn't too bad, and the weather was good which is the most important for this gal! I made this stocking for my friend since this is her first Christmas as a "mom", and being a mom is something she has had her heart set on for as long as I can remember.

I filled her stocking with lotions, a little chocolate,cookie cutters and some scrap booking supplies. Having a new little one, a dog who thinks she's really baby #1 and a full-time job, she doesn't really have a lot of time to scrapbook. I know though she enjoys it, so I bought a baby album that has most everything laid out for her. Quick and easy, but still adorable.
We'll be having ham, mashed potatoes, corn, crescent rolls and a chocolate peanut butter pie tonight. YUM!

Here is the crayon bag finished! I really love how it turned out. I just need a couple of "Dora" coloring books and probably another box of crayons to finish it off. It goes with the Dora quilt I made...binding still has to be completed by next Sunday...I am starting to realize I DETEST binding.

And for those who need a snow fix....



Well, I best get going...I have to pick up DD from basketball practice and transport her to a snowmobilers course! Also have to drill her to find out where my IPOD cord is. I always leave in the computer and when she needs to plug hers in she should just switch cords, leaving mine nearby. I was going to fill my IPOD with Christmas music this morning and of course, no cord. She will say "I don't know", and ultimately, it's my fault, because apparantly, I'm not good with cords either. Between the camera and the IPod....I guess I'm just half a techy!!

Have a wonderful weekend!
~Blessings!

PS ~ Ok, So I'm a dork sometimes, I'll admit it! I pick up DD and ask her about above mentioned cord.
"Mom, you hook your Ipod directly to the computer; you don't HAVE a cord!" (as eyes roll!)
Does this mean I'm old?

Bonnie, that stocking is beautiful!

And no, I do not need a you know what fix! No four letter S words, no Objectionable White Stuff. Ours melted away as quickly as it came, praise God. It's flippin' cold out right now, but I'll take hauling water buckets over OWS any day!

Oh, the stocking is beautiful, and the crayon bag is too cute. The snow pictures are beautiful as well, as long as the snow isn't here! Lol.

I enjoyed reading about all the creative things you're doing. Christmas is almost here. Yikes. Have to finish a few more things.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a great Sunday.

Christmas blessings,

Renie

Awwwwwww, you are such a sweet friend.

And as to being a dork... You ask if this kind of thing, means you're getting old. Hehhhhh... Just wait and see how really dorky you become, when you really _are_ old. -gigggles-

Hi Bon,
Wow good job on the stocking and the bag, you are very handy I must say. Such nice gifts.
Pretty soon it will be break time from school, love to know that you don't have to work for a few days, don't know why it makes me feel good but it does. So Glad though that you like your new job so much.
Still waiting for the really BIG snow. Then I will be waiting for it to go away, its very confusing.
