Oh, the Drama with the Christmas Cards

Guess what? I fear the very worst has happened. Do you remember how I sent a bunch of Christmas to my friends and family early in December? I did it really early this time, really wanting to make sure they’d arrive in time. But as I’m sure you’re able to guess now – the very worst has happened. They haven’t arrived at all yet. And I don’t need to tell you that we’re way past Christmas! Maybe the ribbons and all that were too much of a threat!

December Daily 2012: Final Wrap Up

December 2012 is over – and to be honest, I’m glad I’m done with the December Daily this year. Don’t get me wrong, I love doing it because if nothing else, it helps me live the season very consciously and make the most of every day, but I’m glad I don’t have to try and keep up with a page for every day anymore. I still have two more pages I need to show you, and soon I’ll be ready to share with you the finished project.   See my other weekly recaps here: Week 5 Week 4 Week 3 Week 2 Week 1

An Overdose of Fruit

You see, the thing with visiting people around here is that you’re always expected to bring presents. Usually, I’ve trained my students well, and despite their cultural background, they don’t bring something for me each time they visit me. These days, however, they found out that I’ve been sick. And when they came to visit me, every one of them brought a full bag of fruit – apples, pears, pomelo (2x), bananas (x2). And now I’m left to wonder: how am I ever going to eat all of it? It seems impossible, even when I’m healthy!

Freebie Friday: A Cozy Christmas – Part 3

Time for the next installment of my digital scrapbook kit “A Cozy Christmas.” Today you’ll get the second set of papers. I hope the link works properly for you (believe me, I do pay attention to set it up right the first time, but you never know what mischief maker may get in the way, right 😉  ). So, that’s it for this week. Don’t forget to come back next week for the first set of elements, and if you’ve missed the earlier parts of this kit, you can still grab them by finding the earlier posts tagged “freebie.” Don’t forget that everything under the copyright of Misty Hilltops Designs, so proper accreditation is required if you want to use this product. Happy Friday, scrappers!

Feeling Sick

After a weekend full of people, that is, full of hanging out with people, things have changed a little this week. I’ve been feeling rather sick. Not because of the people I hung out with, really. But because some of these people were sick. Now they’re well, and a whole bunch of us others started feeling sick this week. I for one. And so my new year’s week has been basically all about my bed and some movie watching. Not quite the exciting way of starting the new year, is it?
