Trimmings

The boys got the tree and the girls got the decorations. Then the trimming commenced:

A late night trip to Big Lots for more lights. A stocking that doesn't match because someone has to have a ballerina /princess stocking. Santas everywhere. The Holy Family. Lots of balls.

Black Friday

So I set up a 15% off coupon code for my etsy shop: HOLIDAY

It is good through Friday at midnight.

After which we shall all be sucked into the holiday vortex.

I can't wait!

Books...

I've been working super hard because I want a well-stocked etsy shop for Fall/Winter. I'm going to be adding paper goods like books and garlands and other fun stuff. I'm so excited that I have to give you a sneak peek!

These little books are so cute! I want to keep them all...

Why I Haven't Blogged

There are lots of reasons. Here are the best ones:

1. We had one of those Super Busy Holidays. I mean, the kind where we still feel a bit hung over from it.

2. I was reading these great books I got for Christmas:

Byron in Love by Edna O'Brien and -

The Varieties of Scientific Experience by Carl Sagan. OK. Neither of these pictures represents the actual book covers, but they show is pretty.

3. We got so sick as to be bedridden. For two days.
