I'm starting to get into the spirit of things around here!! I think it started when I was at Publix last night and smelled the delicious Christmas trees they had outside. While I won't be getting a real tree, I'll get a wreath and hope to have that wonderful aroma in my house.
Most of you who know me, know that I love to take online classes. You can do them when you want which I love. I have two I'm going to do in December. One is Christy Tomlinson's (and 11 other artists) " The 12 Artsy ornaments of Christmas" and the other is one by Margie Romney called, "SPARK your Christmas" after her SPARK retreat that she holds each year. Margie's is using recycled materials to make fun things and Christy's of course, is showing unique ways to make ornaments. Both sound so much fun and they are very reasonably priced. I'll give you the links to them if you want to check them out:

This weekend, a bunch of us are getting together Saturday morning to attend the Santa parade downtown and have lunch at this restaurant right on the route afterwards where we have a table saved for us by the one and only Midge!! Can't wait for that and it's suppose to be chilly too!
We have had rain come in today and now cooler temps with it which I'm sooooo looking forward to...I want to wear my fabulous fingerless gloves I got from Texas!!
I probably won't be able to wear them until January but I can't wait! The girls in Texas sure got a hoot out of them when I bought them.
Well, I'm officially in the sub system as of today. I was in at 8:45 and I swear at 8:50 I got a call to sub TODAY!! I turned it down of course but thought it was funny. I am subbing, for a half day, for my friend, Chrissy's 3rd grade class on Wednesday at my old school. Can't wait to see everyone and do it! As I said, I will be very picky about who I sub for and where as I just want to do it now and then. The only qualifications from the county is that I do an "average" of two days a month. I've started a fund to tile my big family room and that's where the money I make will go.
OKay, I'm outta here now as I have a good book I'm reading and want to get back to it!
