Merry Sprinkles


The kids are rocking out to The Chipmunk versions of new songs and the cookies are cooling :D

MerryMerry the kids have another snow day and Christmas break starts, too




School was called off for the third time this week! Ahhhh, I was hoping to get some secret shopping done today. Darn. Tomorrow we are supposed to have major snow, so today I really need to get things done! I'm always last minute!


Here's my effort at holiday decoration....I didn't get too much done, but I have this small part of the kitchen decorated somewhat :D


Don't be fooled the lower shelves are a mess with all my packing supplies! One day I will have a practically perfect cottage home. Someday :D

A Haunted Christmas
















This what you get when you give the camera to one of the kids and do the driveby christmas lights thing :)
I like em!
Oh!! What to get the kids???? For Christmas? I mean they never really play with the toys they ask for or get. When they do it isn't as the toy is intended! It's always a joke to get the kids cardboard boxes and it's the truth! I went online to look for some cardboard houses, ya know? And it pisses me off that they want 80 some odd bucks for a cardborad house! Come on. It's cardboard, dammit. It's a plain cutout. I can see spending 25.oo on a cardboard house but this business about 80 bucks just makes me so mad! The nerve. Anyway, I had to let that out.

I was noticing in my Etsy shop that I do not have the variety of plush that I have had because of sales :)
I am feeling the need to bring in some different styles. I have a boatload of past doodles that I think I will work from.
We've had snow in Portland lately but no real pile up of it! I want a really white Christmas!! We shall see what the rest of the week brings.

I hope everyone is having an enjoyable December :)

Who's a dud?











Me. I need a swift kick in the behind. I'm such a poor blogger! Everyone else has Christmassy cheer happenin' .




Here are a few shots of our handmade christmas ornaments.
Now we gotta go to Blockbuster...we need some christmas shows and such. :)

BRRRRRRRR


It's 27 degrees here. That's damned cold for me. When the wind blows the chill factor is 7 degrees. That hurts. This is the coldest I ever remember Oregon.

I've got some new ones to sew shut later. I thought I would get them up today but we went out and just got back.

Christmas is in ten days, huh?

Posy blog


I'm going to try to find cute blogs to show everyone and also post a happy Christmassy photo a day. Something I make or do. Enough of this scrooge business!!!
This is a pic from Posy Blog. So dreamy. It looks like a house one of monster girls would live in!
