The Pressure's On

so it's one week until x-mas and this is how far i've gotten with my x-mas decorating.

exactly.  i've done nothing.  that's where my tree is SUPPOSED to go.  i guess i've got work to do today because if i don't get this area cleaned up and the tree decorated this weekend, it ain't happening.

but i have a very good reason for the lack of x-mas spirit.  december is a busy time in our house due to the fact that between thanksgiving and christmas we also have 5 birthdays to celebrate (that's including mine which is in two days.  have i mentioned that?) .  last weekend, we went to our twin nieces' birthday party.  here they are wearing the ponchos i made them.

 

oh this is fun.  when you bring a mini cooper into the bosom of your family, you also get great surprise gifts from the mini people.  yesterday i received some funny  mini trading cards/stickers (that kind of remind me of wacky packs from my childhood)  and this very fun mug.

see, it comes with paint.  you paint the mug and then when you like your design, you set it by baking it in the oven.  isn't that cool?  i love the mini people.

anyway, i'm really off this time.  gotta motor.
