Christmas Craziness

Santa Baby 2 is on (again); cute movies! Hubs wants to know if there are any noncorny Christmas movies. Umm I don't think so.

Call Me Claus- Whoopie

All the craziness of Christmas has left me with just enough time to list the corny Christmas movies I've been watching/listening to lately...

Is it December?

Watched Santa Baby (again). That's a cute one. And listened to Christmas in Handcuffs while working and waiting for Bubs to get out of church youth.
I made a sugar scrub from Pinterest... great, really. Love it.

 OOTD pics leave alot to be desired lately...

 Spend the last Saturday in November baking with girlfriends

The red velvet whoopie pies were my favorites.

Corny

I love, love, love Christmas movies. It is the one time of year I will watch/listen to a corny romance. Tonight Christmas Town is on. I remember watching it last year and although it isn't the best there is romance involved and since it involves a hidden Santa's workshop it does classify as corny.
Caught an old Denzel movie I've never seen before, or even heard of, and although it was rated 2 stars I thought it was quite good. Out of Time is a police drama with a quirky unbelievable ending but still Denzel and Eva Mendez in the same movie. Come on.
Last weekend I watched Dear Santa and I just wrapped up Undercover Christmas. OH and Snow with Tim Cavaungh is a good one. Again unbelievable, romantic happy endings. I guess at the end of the year I'm looking for those.

The Buck Stops Here

Trying to squeeze in all those autumnal colors.

Wednesday preparing for the friends' thanksgiving Hubs got up and made pancakes to kick off our day of cleaning the garage. I really can't believe Hub's can see a disaster and turn it into organized heaven. Seriously he works miracles.

I didn't take any good photos during our Friends Thanksgiving, it got very hectic, very fast. Here is the aftermath.

 Thanksgiving morning, Hubs took off to fish for a few hours before we headed to his family's for Thanksgiving so Bubs and I cuddled up in bed to watch Tom and Jerry reruns and flip through blogs on the iPad. Good times. Then when we went downstairs to feast on Pumpkin Pie Poptarts for breakfast Marina alerted us to the fact that there was a buck in the backyard. Thanks for the gift thanksgiving.

 I tried to wear my hair down for Thanksgiving but it ended up in a knot with a pen holding it. Grandma got a kick out of that. I asked for a pen and she couldn't find one that worked. I told her it didn't matter and she was completely befuddled.

 I wore the fingerknit garland I bought for an example to make my Christmas Tree Garland this year as a necklace.

My 'create' for today is this Sugar Scrub from Deliciously Organized DIY

Just listened to Tom Bodett on a podcast of The Moth... very entertaining, thoughtful and moving story of a 

boy/man and his father's influence.

Not guilty

Having a recuperate day after feeling it coming on for a few days.
Last week while watching Harry Potter I jotted down this beauty on a bookmark and gave it to a student I'm trying to convince is not living up to his ability.

Twilight Eve

 Time to scrap those goals from this year and start thinking about the next year! For instance learn to take better pictures because this shirt and cardigan were awesome together but you can't tell it in this pic. AND you can't see that I'm celebrating the new Twilight movie with my Twilight jewelry!

Owl always love you autumn!

Like the new border? I adore owls. Not sure when that happened but they just represent autumn for me.

Last weekend I'm not sure if I was more excited to get a crafternoon at Yo's house or more excited to get sushi for lunch. I tried the mussels in addition to my favorite pink lady.

 Harley kept an eye on my craft table for the afternoon.

This week a friend called in the evening letting me know she had me covered for lunch the next day. Boy did she ever. 3 kinds of quiche, cookies, a muffin, a tangerine and pumpkin bread. Love her. 

I picked up this blanket/table cloth and these dishtowels at the festivals this fall. This is why I am very careful to only make things for people who treasure them. Not sell them for pennies at thrift sales. Or you better not people. I have faith in you!

On the 'create more' front this weekend I made a tag for a bag gift for a colleague I know loves cats. Also put together a thank you card for the ladies who made my lunch bag above. Yesterday I reworked a box with baby stickers for an early Christmas gift for a little one.

It's November and I'm looking back on my goals for the year. Some have been stagnant- my weight, while others have blossomed- creating more.
