December Weekend #4

Well here we are, Christmas weekend!!! All of my preperation is done. . .sounds like a lot but since it will only be the two of us this year, pretty much all I did was put the au gratin potatoes together and make a breakfast pastery that my girls refer to as "Pecan Crap". . .they never liked it, but I do!!! You simply can't go wrong with crescent rolls, cinnamon sugar with pecans and butter topped with a mixture of honey, butter, powdered sugar and more pecans!!! I'll put a small ham on tomorrow with the potatoes and some green beans. All the packages are wrapped and the majority of things have been delivered. On Sunday my husband will go to his Mom's for Christmas. I'm skipping it because I think there are a fair number who are unvaccinated and see absolutely no reason to protect a 90-something from this virus.

I've done a little bit of scrapping this past week, but been doing more Christmasy stuff so here goes. . . Created using Created using And with that, I'm winding down on this Christmas Eve. I hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed holiday season filled with new memories. . .until next time. . .

December Weekend #3

Well, this week I did actually manage to get the Christmas calendars and scrapbooks done and ordered. And, the great thing. . .just got a notice that one part has shipped. I have delivered the Christmas gifts to their rightful recipient. The COVID numbers are skyrocketing in our area again, so I made the decision to forego a Christmas gathering again. In part, it was just too tough to find a time with Christmas being on a Saturday. Kids actaully go back to school in this area on January 3rd. . .Since my Christmas preparations are now done, I did take a little "me" time but have also managed to scrap a couple of pages so here goes. . .

December Weekend #2

Yeah, it is the second weekend in December!!! At this point I think I am virtually done Christmas shopping and a good deal of the wrapping is done. I'm holding on a photo from this weekend to finish the Christmas scrapbooks and calendars and then they go off to Shutterfly!!! This year, I'll just have those things shipped directly instead of coming here to be wrapped. With the big surge in COVID, we are going to forego yet another Christmas. If people could just get their act together, things could go back to normal, but I've been in respiratory distress before and I have absolutely NO desire to experience that again. My immune system has been wonky for about a month now so even though I'm fully vaxxed and then some, I still think it would be a rough time. Plus my daughter is about to start an intense immuno therapy and we need to keep her safe. Having said that, I am going to venture out one more time to see our oldest granddaughter in The Nutcracker. This is her first show and I wouldn't miss it for the world!!!

With all the things going on here, I didn't do a lot of scrapping this week, but here goes. . . Created using Created using And, that is a wrap for this week. . .Until next time. . .

Holiday Season - Part 2!!!

Well, Thanksgiving is over, Black Friday is in full swing and I'm gearing up for the next phase of the holiday season. My goal for the weekend is to get the tree decorated and get the presents wrapped. Next weekend is the first of two weekend of Nutcracker performances and I'm excited about those. For one granddaughter, this will be her 7th production and for the other, this will be her first. I'm not missing those!!! Until then, I'll finish up the scrapbooks and calendars for the girls and hopefully get some relaxing time in :-) I've managed to do a bit of scrapping this week so here goes. . .

Created using Created using Created using Created using And, with that I am outta here to go do some Black Friday Digi-Shopping!!! Until next time. . .

Gearing Up For Turkey

I've been gearing up for Turkey Day for a week or so. Let me tell you, procuring that bird was the hardest thing!!! At one point, the only turkeys in the freezer section were birds where the packaging had been pretty much ripped to shreds. Now, I usually opt for a fresh turkey, but there were none to be had. I finally got a turkey which is much larger than I need, but I figure I'll freeze what we don't eat and we can have turkey salad sandwiches and turkey tetrazzini into the first of the year. Again this year, there will only be the two of us. Both of our granddaughters have Nutcracker performances the first two weekends in December and I would much rather go to that than have everyone together for Thanksgiving. We will all be together the following weekend and watching ballet on stage is way better than eating turkey in my mind. . .and since both of our daughters and granddaughters are dancers, I'm pretty sure they would agree. However, at this point I'm trying to figure out when we can get together for Christmas. That in and of itself is no small feat. . .I'm not fond of weekend Christmas dates and it seems like everyone goes back to school on January 3rd this year!!! So the window of opportunity is very, very small this year!!!

I continue to be busy working on Christmas gifts so I only have a couple of things to share today so here goes. . . Created using Created using That's a wrap for today - told you it would be a short list - LOL!!! Until next time. . .

Snow. . .Say It Ain't So!!!

To add insult to injury. . .not only did the time change this week (it is dark just after 4:30 now) but we have snow in the forecast for the weekend!!! UGH!!! This week, I'm hoping to get the Christmas scrapbooks done for the most part. . .I'll be in a holding pattern for photos from two different productions of the Nutcracker, but I do want to have everything in place so after I get those, I can plop in the photos and send off the order!!! Then, since we aren't going to have a big Thanksgiving, I'm planning on having a wrapping party on Black Friday and avoiding the crowds. In my area the COVID numbers from positive cases to hospitalizations to deaths are creeping up again. It seems like the numbers go down and then people let their guard down and the numbers go back up. One of my mottos throughout life has been everything in moderation but that seems lost on people now. Anyway, I've done a little scrapping this week so here goes. . . Created using Created using Created using Created using And that does it for me this week!!! Until next time. . .
