It's coming together.....

I've been MIA since Tuesday. I am not sure where the time has gone. I've been cleaning house, wrapping presents, doing some shopping and preparing for Christmas. As of 4:00 yesterday, I am off work for 5 straight days. I have three more gifts to pick up today. I did a little shopping last night. I still have quite a bit of wrapping to do. Monday will be baking day. I can't await. Yesterday was our office party at work. We had an awesome time. I didn't get a lot of pics, but I did get a few. The food was fantastic. The boss's family was there as well as our Pastor and Youth Pastor from church. All in all, it was a great day.

A little Christmas Humor

 

Edgar's investigating

Edgar discovered my new Thirty-One bag. It is the new Zip Top Organizing Utility Tote in the new Bold Bloom pattern. 

He noticed that you can have it open...

Or use the zipper so you can have it closed. 

He was impressed with all the pockets that it has. 

He decided to scout through the new spring catalog to check out the new products. 

Keep in mind that every time you leave a comment when you see Edgar your name will be placed in a drawing for a giveaway.  The winner will receive the mini-zipper pouch in the new paradise pop pattern. 

Be sure and leave your comments to register for the drawing. The winner will be drawn and announced on December 26th.

I love a parade....

We had our 3rd Annual Kodak Christmas Parade yesterday. Despite the rain and the cold temperatures, we did have quite a few participants turn out. I was happy with the results. We are a very small community and just advertise locally. Our local fire department is very supportive of the parade and usually has a great turnout. A special thanks to Theresa and Renee. We couldn't have done it without their help.

A great big thank you to everyone who came.

A surprise on my desk....

I came in this Monday with this surprise on my desk. It was an awesome Christmas basket filled with goodies from my dearest friend who also happens to be my bosses wife.

It had some awesome goodies in it. There was a set of coffee - cake mugs. It has a recipe on the back where you can actual bake miniature cakes in the microwave right inside the mugs. I'm going to try one this weekend. It had some  delicious Lindt's Lindor Truffles and and this adorable Christmas ornament with my last name initial on it.

There was a plush robe that is super soft and very warm. I've used it quiet a lot this past week.

She had also included a hot chocolate maker. I love hot chocolate and plan on getting a lot of use out of this.

Everything was neatly placed in this gorgeous basket that I am going to use in my craft room to hold some of my craft supplies.

In the very bottom of the basket was something that made me squeal. My #1 item on my Pyrex wish list. I love it. It is the Shenandoah pattern that I have been wanting for months but could not find. 

This was one awesome gift baskets and I am very thankful for all that she and her husband do for me. Thanks, Stevie & Eric. I loved the gift.
