Busy, Busy
I feel like I have been working on ornaments non-stop for days!
In between, I have been making gift baskets, full of lots of homemade goodies, for teachers, etc....
Below is a picture of the one that we dropped off at the post office today.
Our post office is wonderful!
They are always so sweet to my kids too!
We love them!
I have been tying on one of my ornaments to each of them.
I think that they turned out so cute!
Well, back to ornament making!...with some baking and kids' school Christmas show watching (tomorrow) mixed in.
Why is the week before Christmas always so busy?

Caramel Corn...in your Microwave!
I just had to share this recipe. It is for super yummy caramel corn made in your microwave. It is so easy to make...and clean-up is easy too!
This caramel corn would make a great gift. Also, it's a great way to use up your paper grocery bags!

Joy
I just added a new painted shirt set to my other etsy shop. This one spells out JOY.
I am going to use them for my Christmas cards this year.
Today I wanted to get some pictures of the shirts on my models. Unfortunately, I picked the absolute worst time of day to take pictures...too bright...too many shadows...etc...etc.
But, I was determined to work with them!
With the help of some Pioneer Woman Photoshop Actions, I think that they aren't too bad:)
Which one should I use for my Christmas cards???
#1
#2
#3
#4
I think that I like # 4 the best...but not too sure...hmmmm...what do you think?(P.s. I'm also planning on using part of the lyrics for "Joy to the World" somehow in my cards.)
What do you do for your holiday cards? Do you make them?
