December Daily : Day 17
Tags:
(day 17 : "holiday" from a Kate Spade mailer)
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Oh man, I am really starting to get all excited. Updating some of the decor I put up earlier: making adjustments, moving things around, getting ready to have family here. I can hardly wait for all of them to get here.
Working a bit on wrapping each day so I don't end up doing it all at the last minute. I like being able to take my time. Here's a couple so far - going with a red + browns theme.
Found these bakers boxes at Shim + Sons. I like having a mixture of wrapped presents and others in simple brown boxes. Ribbon from Pottery Barn.
Red on red stripe wrapping paper at Target. Chocolate ribbon from Paper Source.
This is cool: today (Tuesday) through Thursday, December 20th Fontwerks is having a 30% off sale with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Autism Speaks. Enter "HoHoHo!" at checkout (don't forget the exclamation point).
And one more thing: could you say a little prayer for me today? I had three more abnormal moles removed this morning. Here's to hoping they are simply abnormal looking and not anything else.

Wow. I had 3 abnormal moles removed last Thursday and am still in the recovering from having stitches mode and all like that -- so you have my COMPLETE sympathy and strong prayers especially given that we are here in this very same boat!! You know what? We are both going to be fine and we'll have to think of some blog-friend (if I may be so bold!) way to celebrate when we get our results. Peace~

You definitely have my prayers! You are a very big part of my life right now. I just finished Life Artist and to say I LOVED it is an understatement. So many projects I want to start now because of you. And I started reading A Designer's Eye to Scrapbooking last night. I think it is going to take longer. My mother has breast cancer and is undergoing chemo right now. It is not something I would wish on my worst enemy, much less my new mentor!

Love the clear album - it's the first thing I check with my cup of joe in the morning. I have learned so much from you and you have inspired me in so many ways as a fellow mom and scrapper!
Sending warm thoughts and prayers for you...

You need to email Brendan (and me) about that stuff. He still wants to talk to you.
Oh - and all the Christmas stuff is lovely. :)
