all sorts of stuff

all sorts of fun stuff going on over here...

we got the tree up. we got the right size this year (we often overshoot and have to chop it up to make it fit in our miniature home). and i think we got it at the right time although it always feels early and it seems like people get them earlier and earlier. or is that just me?

we made cookies. again, seems a little early but they were fun to make and i put most of them in the freezer for later (will-power willing)

got some shopping done. i have to confess that, although i took the handmade pledge, there are a few things the kids really want that i can't find on etsy. but here is some of the handmade goodies they will be getting this year...

awesome plush
good luck charms
rockin' wrist gear

i plan on finishing my shopping for them here on wednesday night. john and jen and the rest of my family and friends are getting lots of handmade stuff but i can't show you here because they sometimes read this.

our show friday night was lots o' fun. thanks to all who came out. we bought a lot of wine and i think it was drank all up, which is a sign of a successful evening, in my book.

john's co-worker sent him this for his birthday. they send you a file of your actual song, but i can't figure out how to share that here. i can assure you, it's pretty funny.

Awwww thanks Meg!!! :) We finally got our tree up too. Memphis has been crazy for it this year and as it turns out she had been hiding gifts she made for Jason and I in her dresser and way dying to put them under the tree. Love your cookies and that dancing dog thing looks super duper cool. Memphis would so dig it. xoxo

I just happened to stumble upon your blog. I'm so happy I did. Cute Christmas tree. And yes, Christmas comes earlier and earlier each year!
I was browsing through your posts. I love the little button wreaths! They are so adorable. I love all your thrifty finds. I'm a thrift junky myself. Merry Christmas!

Your tree is exactly my favorite kind - you can really see the ornaments - not like those tight bushy commercial cones that are everywhere. So pretty.

I am really enjoying your blog, and I love the look of your lovely tree cookies! We had some major icing "issues" this year. Any chance you could tell me what kind your icing is? Or give me the recipe recipe? (Please?!)

Thanks so much - I have certainly seen those recipes, just don't think I have tried one yet! Maybe for Valentine or Easter cookies! Thanks again!! Heidi
