It's coming quickly!! And lots of fun activities have been happening and will continue through this weekend. Oh, and we finally got some chilly temps today too which I love!
Tonight, I'm going over to Lynn's house for the ornament exchange she has each year. These are friends of Barb's and I was lucky to be invited several years ago and now go each year. It's one of those funny parties where you trade gifts which I love. Actually we did this also when I was in Texas and we had a ball. It's always tons of laughs. There are usually about 25 women there and this year, Barb's DIL, Dina, will be coming too which will be fun. I'll show you the gift I chose to bring this year, tomorrow.
Here's a couple of pic's from the party last year...
As you can see, we don't really exchange ornaments, but gifts and they're all so cool!
So looking forward to that tonight.
Tomorrow, I'm at the fundamental school subbing in a 5th grade class all day. I wasn't going to work any more this week as I've already done it 3 times in 7 days which was more than I had planned on, lol, but I decided to go ahead and do it as I like that grade level. First grade on Monday was a trip! They pack a lot of curriculum nowadays in that grade level and it was a very busy day. I think I'll be off all next week as most teachers don't take off the last week before break unless they're really sick so that should be a nice, long 3 week break for me. I am enjoying the subbing though and love making money again!
I'm really looking forward to going over to Teresa's group on Friday night as they have their craft show with several vendors. I missed this last year so definitely want to go to it this year as I'm sure I'll find some cute things.
Saturday evening is the wonderful stocking girl party at Linda's!! Gerri Anne, Barbara and I will be staying over at a hotel nearby too so I don't have to worry about driving late at night. Can't wait to see what all the girls get this year!
I am also picking up my Tim Holtz Vagabond die cut machine that day too and can't wait to get it!! Linda ordered it for me and it came in.
I think the plan for Sunday is for Linda, GA, Barbara and I to get together and decide on our side trips for our Alaskan cruise this coming June. There's many to pick from and some very cool ones.
If you're looking for some neat photography, you need to check out my older brother's web page. He has some beautiful pictures and good prices too. Check him out here- Nels Johnson Photography.
I've been taking a couple of online classes too for holiday ornaments and gifts with Margie Romney and Christy Tomlinson and 11 other mixed media artists. There has been some great ideas and I've really enjoyed the classes.
Okay, gotta run and wrap some gifts...Have a great day and weekend!
