The Week in Review: December 1-8

Fits and giggles and visits and fun with an icky diagnosis thrown in. The bad news is that I will be having some major surgery in 2009 and our BIG trip is postponed. The good news is that you're stuck with me and my rambling for another year! Happy December!

making the bed: the calendar!

The Making the Bed Calendar is now available at LuLu.com. I am so tickled with how it looks online and will know for certain how it looks in person soon. I ordered my copy just a few moments ago! If you are a fan of my making the bed project, pick up one for yourself! I wish I could have made them for less but $28 Plus that darn shipping, yikes!) isn't too bad for a year round bit of scrumdillydilly! And, they accept Paypal!

Check it out here. Oh, and did you know there was a flickr group?

The December Bed

December is a bittersweet month for me. This year marks the ninth anniversary of my mother's death. She adored Christmas more than glitter and that lady loved her some glitter. Christmas growing up was always full of familiar things and music and baking so I try my best to recreate all that goodness but it just isn't the same without Mamos. Making the bed is a new tradition for me that only remotely reminds me of Mamos as she was always hollering at me to make my bed. So, in tribute to her, the wonderfully funny Penelope, I give you my December bed.

nifty needlebooks are in the shop

The Week in Review: November 24-30

It was an odd jumble of a week with the holiday, the moving of the mama & sister a-go-go, my doctor switching up my asthma meds and the jam packed reading and searching for my notes for my final class paper of the semester. Phew! So, here ya go, my week in pics.

I hope this coming week is less crowded but it won't be. I've got more doctor visits and that not so big but big enough paper to work on plus a day getting all sorts of x-rays and a squeeze of a visit with the ever funtabulous, SoMany and a Janet Klein concert with my partner in crime, Stacey. SO, here's to a smooth December. Please oh please let it be smooth, this year has been so tough already, I hope next year will be looking up.
