Woke up to snow again this Sunday.

It didn't' last long though by the afternoon it was all gone again, so nothing like last Weekend.

Today's countdown number is accented by Miss Julie's wonderful POM (that stands for Project of the Month! for all you non TOM visitors!)

We ended up vegging out on the couch today and didn't do much. Martin cleaned the kitchen after I made breakfast and we watched a couple of football games. The Seahawks kicked the Arizona Cardinals butt. Yeah!

I got a little bit of scrapbooking done, a couple more X-mas gifts. The irony is that I had already packed up gifts for these people and the one I really needed to work on I didn't have enough paper for. ARGH!

Better luck next time I guess...

I bought a X-mas Gift!

Yeah, for me. I did purchase something yesterday and am soooo proud of myself. I actually ended up venturing into the jaws of the lion, or should I say the doors of TARGET yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I've tried a couple of times just to give up due to the sheer volume of cars in the parking lot in front of the store. But yesterday I must've timed it just right and got there during dinner hour between chores and volleyball at 7:15 last night.

So tonight and tomorrow (Martin is going to Ray & Lisa's house to play poker tomorrow!) I will try to accomplish a lot and work on my gifts to be completed....we'll see how that goes.

On another note, Monday we had our first winning match of the season for our women's team. This is quite a feat since we've moved up to the top division and have never played at this level before. We've been playing so much better since the beginning of the season. These stronger teams just lift our play to a whole 'nother level. So far we've always managed to take one game out of three twice and lost one match, but on Monday we actually won all three games. Whooooohoooo!

I went by Trader Joe's last night for some groceries, and picked up this cute little wreath. It's kind of hard to see in this photo, but it's got little walnuts tied to it and smells divine. What do you think? I love it.

It's DECEMBER!

Wow, where did time go? I can't believe it's almost Christmas. I think this is the first year where I am sooooo totally completely behind with my X-mas shopping. Usually I am more than halfway done in the middle of summer...what happened?


Anyway, I digress. Timing was for once perfect. I completed a sample for the store Treasury of Memories with the beautiful Making Memories Christmas line of papers and stickers and we sold out of them just in time for me to take it home. What luck....I now have it displayed in our living room and look forward to using it to countdown to Christmas Day.

The Christmas Card Holder on the left is also a sample that we sold out of shortly after I made it. So lucky me get's to use it for holding our X-mas cards. Which by the way, we have only received one of, and that was hand delivered. But I have faith...

If I have time I will try to get started on blogging about our wonderful trip to Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island. I highly recommend it...
