I’m finally getting around to putting up some pictures of little Christmas gifts I made this year. They’re small, not very complicated, but specifically made for each person in mind.
For my Aunt Laurie
For my grandma, Gammie
I think he’s a little weird looking, but my Gammie loved him and that’s all that matters.
This for my mom
Everytime she and I go shopping she has a chaotic mound of gift cards and coupons floating in her purse. We usually end up standing at the register for too long while she shuffles through the stack trying to find the appropriate coupon and gift card. With papers falling on the floor and a slight scene being made each time, I decided I needed to do something about this. I made her this gift card/coupon wallet. It’s working great for her and all of her junk fits in it perfectly. I included 2 pockets for the gift cards and 1 larger pocket for all the coupons.
Now that the holidays are over with I’m busy cleaning up all the messes I made from making those things up there. Eek.
Anyway, Happy Sunday!
Hello World,
I had an extreme case of guilt this evening because I haven’t posted in a short forever. It’s hard to force myself to sit in front of the computer when I’m not at work, even though I treasure this blogging world so much. My brother and his fiance came to town for the Steeler’s game today, so we spent most of the past 3 days with them. Yesterday we went to the National Aviary and then dined at The Georgetown Inn. We ended the evening driving through Hartwood Acres and enjoying the Celebration of Lights. It was most definitely a wonderful weekend.
Here are a few pictures documenting my family adventures.
These are called “Owlets”

In the middle of all this chaos, I was able to finish one stuffie for my sis-in-law, Lindi, for Christmas. Here’s a sneak-peak…
I’ve also been working for hours and hours on a drawing/painting for my brother. Over the summer we had an encounter with some peacocks and he made the oh-so-simple request of a peacock painting. He just had to pick the most intricate and detailed bird of all birds on the planet for me to draw for him. Chances are, this won’t be finished by Christmas, but I’m trying! So here’s a sneak-peak of the peacock..
Anyway, the holidays are right around the corner. I hope everyone is enjoying the festivities, the family, the friends… I know I am.
Merry Christmas!
