Hello Monday


Good morning

well ~ it is morning here!

it was the kind of week-end
that I wish had at least 3 days
instead of 2...

I look back at all the things I got accomplished
and at my list of things left to do

the house is trimmed though
for the most part

 
it took most of the day Saturday
and after supper I ran a hot bath
put on a face mask ~ grabbed my book
and disappeared for an hour
it was bliss!


my Christmas cards are all written up
just have to pop those in the mail

as I sat down Sunday afternoon
I wondered how many people still go old school
and write out Christmas cards


I still do it because I love receiving them
although the cost of mailing them is crazy expensive
but I can do it ~ so I do

Sunday we also went to the local nursery
and picked out our tree



they get them locally ~ fresh cut
smells like heaven


so we will bring it in on Friday
set it up so I can put the lights on it Sat
and decorate it on Sunday

I like a million or so lights
give or take
so it takes me a couple of hours
in and out each branch.

Lots planned for this week
a shopping trip with Mom on Tuesday night
then little things sprinkled throughout the week
to help alleviate the stress on the week-end
as it will be a busy one.
Hope you had a wonderful week-end.

Don't forget about my giveaway ~ I will be closing comments on 
Thursday night and announcing the winner on Friday

just click here!

Have a great week!

Traditions ~ Cards

I am a creature of habit
and some of those habits are good ones

really...

While I embrace the cyber world
I do love to send and receive real mail

you know the stuff that the postman delivers
into the real mailbox
the one outside your door
not on your computer

something that you actually are excited to open
not something that you have to pay.

Although I am not a great letter writer anymore
I love sending cards
birthday and just because cards

so...
with the season coming
I get excited
I have been browsing the Christmas aisles
for the last 3 weeks

found here

I have bought a few things
some gifts and some new things for me

I also bought some new cards
and have made my list
I am ready to go...


found here

I love sitting down
and writing a little note in each one

these ones are from here
aren't they the cutest!

once they are all addressed and mailed
I sit back and wait...


because as much as I love sending them
I love receiving them too!

I want to find a fun new way
to display my cards this year


I know it is not something that a lot of people do anymore
but this is one tradition I want to keep alive
