December Daily : Day 17

(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.

Sending prayers and kind thoughts. My grandfather had them removed and he lived to be 97. How about that! Thanks for sharing great projects this year. Looking forward to Ali inspirations next year. Happy Holidays.

I would like to congratulate you on having time to enter your day to day happenings on your site so close to Christmas. I am having trouble keeping up with everything that is happening and don't have the time to sit down with out visitors turning up for christmas drinks.
Enjoyed looking at the new poncho you brought. Wish it was cooler here but Very hot in Australia at the moment.
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family. And all the best for the new year.

Just remember that you are not the only one to have moles removed. If you are lucky (as I was) you will find out there was nothing wrong. And if not, it was good that it got caught early. Speaking as a person with two basal cell cancer surgeries (neither of which started from a mole), just remember that it is all treatable! I have to admit to panicking myself and it takes so long for the biopsy results to come back, but think good thoughts. At least don't let your mind run with the "what if's" until you know how it all comes out. Wishing you well! And thanks for all the wonderful projects you post and books that you write.
