Happy Friday..(almost)... I have been so busy this week working and working on things for my open house. I am still unsure of the date:(:(...so many things I want to get done and do before then but I have been working all week and will be up until next Wednesday. Not enough hours in the day for this crafty mom. I had my son, DIL and grandkids this week for dinner. I am having more blocks cut for the Christmas countdown gifts...every seems to like them so far, I just hope that I can sell some>>>hehehe. On Tuesday this week, we had a rare fall storm with 50-60 mph winds that ripped through most of the state in a matter of hours. We were lucky not to have damage, but it looked scary for a few hours. I can't believe that in a few days it will be the end of October 2010...weren't we just celebrating New Year's 2010? I swear the older I get, the faster the years go by before I have a chance to catch my breath. I am a huge picture taker, much to the disappointment of the kids and I always snapping shots of them and my grandkids around the house. I keep trying to convince that some day they will thank me>>>hoping so anyway.
My biggest pet peeve and complaint about this time of year is the retail business....WHERE IN THE HECK IN THE FALL SEASON AND THANKSGIVING IN YOUR DEPARTMENT STORES???
Seems that right after school starts and they clear out the school supplies, up go the Halloween decorations. I have never been one to celebrate Halloween but prefer to decorate for fall. And almost immediately around October 15th, they put the Halloween stuff on discount and bring out the Christmas stuff. Now, I like to decorate and get ready for Christmas just as much as anyone, but how can we just skip over the whole month of November???? Thanksgiving to me is so much more exciting and meaningful than Christmas....its all about getting together and eating....no worries about gifts or how much to spend...just getting together.
Well, enough of my rantings for tonight.
Have a great weekend~~~Happy Crafting
