I have made 7 samples for Brenda. Hopefully she'll pick one or be able to say what she likes and doesn't like and I'll be able to come up with just what she wants. It was fun.
Now I'm working on cards for two different contests on line. One is for Lawn Fawn stamps and the other is using Penny Black stamps and Flower Soft. I've finished the one I want for Penny Black but, it's so overcast, I don't think I can get a good picture to submit right now.
I've made one card for Lawn Fawn using Critters of the Sea, but I think it might be too "crowded". I've put it in the livingroom and I'll keep looking and see.

Brenda picked me up and we met Kay and Penny at Eric's for breakfast. We had a really good meal (I had enough for supper also) and great company. We actually made a date for next month.
On the way home, Brenda asked me about making 40 thank you notes for her mom's anniversary. I told her to call me when she got home from camp and I'd have some samples for her. Katie is going to print out a photo to be included.

I did something I've never done before. I wrote to a celebrity on facebook. I'd been watching Jane Fonda say that she would take her biggest mistake to her grave with her and it saddened me. I really want her to let it go and forgive herself.
Today I'm going to the dump and then to the dentist. Then I'm putting away my Christmas things. This is the longest I've had them up after Christmas. It was just nice to have that cozy, warm lighting.
It poured all night and the wind blew a gale. Now we are back with NO snow, which is more than OK with me.
I did get my Christmas things taken care of today. That seems nice. I am leaving my candle lights in the window though and that way I can enjoy the lights.
My order of stamps from Hambo came today and I love them. I really like humorous ones and these certainly fill the bill. I spent the evening making cards with these stamps. FUN!

This morning I made New Year's card-11 of them. I made another Valentine's card and then I started making some special cards for friends to give out on certain occasions. I also made 3 boxes to put them into. I had a lot of fun and will finish them tomorrow (Tuesday). We meet for our get together on Friday. We are meeting here and going to the Post Office Cafe in Mount Vernon for breakfast. It's a lot of fun just getting together with friends and family at Christmas. I love that and can't think of anything better.

Christmas morning, and I'm up at 3---as usual. I still get excited on Christmas. I have nothing to do for the brunch until 4:30 so I make a white fence and three lamp posts for my paper 3-D village. That added a lot, I think.
Katrina called and she had already spoken with Kelsey and was going to talk with Kasey next.
At 4:30 I started the kielbasa and then cooked up the onions and green peppers for the potatoes. Kasey called and wanted to use my oven for her over-night French toast so I made my quiche early.
Kasey and Matt came and Kasey got her dish into the oven. Kelsey and Andrew came and Kasey and Kelsey worked on the computer. Lisa and Russell came around 10:00. Still no Kay, so I called--the line was busy. I had us begin because everything was ready. Kay arrived about 10:20.
After we ate, Kelsey got us playing charades. No one was too enthusiastic, except Kelsey, to begin with, but that soon changed. We all added things and divided up into teams. Lisa says she has a whole year to think of something to get back at me for my "pissing on a tree" saying. Don't know what the problem was---she did a great job! Only wish I'd taken a picture!

I made butter-crunch muffins and blueberry muffins for Christmas brunch. I cooked the bacon and the potatoes also. This will make it a lot less work when I have company. I have the Christmas lights on and it gives a nice, festive atmosphere.

Tuesday, Kelsey, Andrew, and I met at Lisa and Russell's to wrap our "adopted" family's gifts for Christmas. It had pizza and clam dip. It was fun, but I did miss having Kasey and Matt there too. They had other obligations this year, so they sent over their wrapped gifts.
Once again, Russell turned my car around for me. Don't think he trusts my driving. Maybe it has something to do with, when the kids were young, I told him not to let me drive at night with the kids in the car because I had a hard time seeing! That was at night, in the rain, with a lot of city lights. I admit, that's a problem for me, but Russell's house is so far out in the country that there are no lights! Oh well, I get waited on and that's a plus. Now if I could just get him NOT to change my radio station!!! LOL
