Busy ~ Busy

Wow ~ what a week-end

I woke up this morning hoping that it was not Monday

but alas ~ it was....

Friday night I stopped by one of my favorite shops

and picked up a couple of little things for me

after all ~ it IS the season for giving

and receiving ~ right??!!

these were taken with my phone and I think they turned out

pretty good

you can see why I love this store and this was just a little corner of it.

after supper we brought in the tree ~ looking good!

I spent the better part of Saturday putting on the lights

until I ran out ~ so off we went to the store for more

and 3 stops later ~ we were back home in time

to get ready for my department party

which we had a blast

good food and some drinks

and a designated driver made the night complete.

Sunday was baking day

getting everything ready

I made 4 kinds of cookies ~ yummy!

love my old recipe cards

this one is my Aunt's handwriting

little things like this I cherish

my 30 day cake is almost ready to go

the fruit has been fermenting since the 15th of November

and they are best tasting cakes ever

we also got a knock on the door while we were having brunch

and this Christmas neckerchief was delivered for Miss Molly

by the best next door neighbor ever

she is going to look some spiffy Christmas Day!

last night we decorated the tree

drank eggnog and ate cookies

it was a busy but productive week-end

so the tree is trimmed

I am setting up my wrap center this week

so I hope to have everything wrapped by the week-end

a few little things left to do

but my goal of having nothing to do next week

is looking good

wish me luck!

How was your week-end??
