I cannot believe that Christmas is this week! This month has just flown by! I think I'm done...well except for the gifts for the 2 gift exchanges that we are doing....but I need to take the boys out to do that. They need to pick out what they want. One of them is one of those "white elephant" ones. Those are fun. The other we pulled names, so we have ideas on what we need to buy for those.
Our tree has been up since Thanksgiving weekend. I was super excited to put it up, along with each boy (3 of them) having their own. They had fun decorating them. Mine, I did all alone! I prefer it that way. That is why they have their own!
There are quite a few presents under the tree now. I don't usually put things under until Christmas Eve....so that it looks like tons in the morning...but my mom started putting stuff under and Christopher kept complaining that there was nothing for him, that they were all for my brother and his son. I put 3 alike under the tree...and it drove the boys NUTS! Then the next day I put 3 more just alike and again they were complaining. So early this morning when I was up with "yummy boyfriend", I put 3 more alike...and of course...I heard the comments about them being "clothes" and that my son wasn't happy about it! oh gosh! Whatever! he's 12, almost 13, what toys does he possibly want? And he already has an xBox, Ipod touch, cell phone....what the heck more could he need....or want? I painted up that cute bag last night! I didn't have anymore boxes and I have a ton of these brown bags from my craft show days....so I thought they'd be cute all painted.
We took the boys out for a photo shoot this past weekend. They were awesome!
This one below is my fave of Christopher! LOVE the look on his face! I love to see him happy like this! Makes me smile!
Okay, so, some news about my website. I have decided to close it. But I'm not quitting, yet......I will still sew, and I will still have dolls up for sale, I will just be adding them to Etsy. And of course I will show them here too. And if you don't want to register for Etsy, you can just let me know, and I can invoice you through PayPal. I haven't made the transfer yet of my .com, as I am paid up through the beginning of January, and I'll deal with that right after Christmas. And I haven't added anything to Etsy yet, except for a few patterns that are on there....but I will let you know when I do.
If I'm not on here bloggin before Christmas, I want to wish each and EVERY one of you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! I am excited about it this year, my family is alot bigger this year with yummy boyfriend and his cute boys in it! And we have all the kiddies Christmas Eve and Christmas morning, so we are super excited about it! I'll try and take lots of pics!
Hey Nicole,
Will you keep your blog going along with your patterns and dolls? Hope that's true and oh yes HAPPY NEW YEAR! Love the pictures of your family! Prayers still for your Mom!Dee
