Sorry for the lack of updates. We had a youth-group retreat all weekend, which was a lot of fun, but utterly exhausting. Sleep never seems to be scheduled into these things!
I have a lot of stuff to do to prepare for Christmas, and I lost the whole weekend for working on projects, so Monday was spent frantically trying to get some of it done. I have to get my sister's family's gifts in the mail TODAY. I'm just hoping that they'll arrive in London in time for Christmas morning!
A picture of some of what I've been working on:
And even though I vowed last year that I would never make my own Christmas cards again, I find myself breaking that vow. Funny how a year's time can make the memory fuzzy about what a pain something was!
But at least the house is decorated, and most of the gifts are already bought. I've still got tons to do, but it could certainly be worse!

I have still lots of gifts to buy. And I am sick now. :(
Annie, I'm so sorry you're sick. That's always miserable, but even more so when you have stuff you need to do!
I'm terrible. I've never even sent out a Christmas card/letter/photo. I really admire that you even make yours, too! That is so meaningful :)
My mother-in-law reminded me of how nice it would be if we sent out a Christmas photo-card. As soon as Eric gets home from his business trip, we'll have the neighbor come over and take a pic and I'll try my very best to get them mailed out.
ANNE MARIE (now I can say your name!),
These cards are beautiful. I saw your response again in the CTC newsletter--I had one in there this time, too, and will link to it on my blog tomorrow. Such a small world!
