My wild and crazy weekend

Hello and happy Monday to you, my dear friends.

I was left to my own devices this past weekend while

Doug and Carrie were living it up in Las Vegas.

{Don't feel sorry for me - I do not like Vegas.}

Carrie had a bit of car trouble just before the trip, so they ended up taking my car. I could have driven Carrie's car or Doug's truck in a pinch, but didn't have any real need to do so. So I stayed home and took care of a little Christmas business. Like cards:

And a photography class assignment:

And some wrapping:

 

Got ready to make a trip to the post office. I'll still have one more trip in a week or so when my mom's package is ready to be mailed. Or, maybe I'll sweet talk Carrie into mailing it from her work...

The Santa belly card shown above is a design I've been seeing all over the place lately. I made two to use as notecards for Mom and Grandma this week.

I finally broke down and turned the heater on. Last year I made it till December 3rd. This year December 2nd. Our air conditioning unit runs constantly from May through October. Once that's over we like to leave our unit turned off for as long as possible. It's just what we do...

I stayed in my pajamas all day yesterday. I seriously can't remember the last time I did that! I watched a little Indiana Jones with a couple of furry friends:

Why, yes, as a matter of fact, that is a plastic ram by our TV - courtesy of my late mother-in-law, PJ. PJ was random - I loved that about her. That's why when I came across this ram recently I knew we had to display it this year.

Fancy Jane likes Harrison Ford too.

Good kitty.

On the agenda this week: more Christmas prep!

Ready.

Set.

GO!
