Happy Sunday!

We've enjoyed a little rain on and off this weekend. Yesterday, I got a babysitter with plans of starting my Christmas shopping. Then Jamie called and said he was going to join me. HA! What a nice day to grab some lunch and then hit the overcrowded mall. We ended up at North Star, because I figured we'd get wet walking around LaCantera. I wish we hadn't. It was nuts. It felt like the day after Thanksgiving. Too much commotion for me!! But we still managed to hit our favorites and managed to do some damage at The Disney Store for the girls. If you spend over $75, you get to pick a free DVD (Meet The Robinson's OR Jungle Book). Plus we had our 15% coupon. SCORE!
.
Something funny just happened...Jamie just now came out of the room all dressed up in nice slacks, shirt and tie. The 3 of us girls were oooing and awwwing (I can't remember the last time he's dressed up like this for work - he's always behind the scenes). And then Lauren says..."you look like Prince Charming". Jamie was loving that comment!! CUTE!

.
I've been feeling crafty lately. I have lots of ideas and fun things that I want to do, but not enough time. I've managed a few things, but still have lots left. Here's a few things I've worked on lately...
.
A Layout!!

Some felt trees that I'm not sure what I'm doing with yet!!

.
If you like the trees, check this girl out...HOLLY...she is inspiring! She made some really cute felt trees, also. She's always doing something crafty!!
.
And this girl rocks the banners like nobody else!! I love her shabby chic/vintage touch on everything she does!! You'll love her stuff.
.
That'll do it for now. I think I'm going to get my Christmas decorations out in the next day or two. My brother Mike and Pat (and family) are coming for Thanksgiving...we are so excited. This will be their first visit to San Antonio. I might have to post "THE AGENDA" created by my crazy husband, for while they're here. We plan to do all of the major attractions and touristy stuff. I will have major pics and lots to report on later this week.
.
ENJOY!!

Sounds like you have been busy. The stores ARE getting so crowded now. We are so doing the Black Friday shopping though. We do it every year and have gotten some really great deals in the past. Hope this year is just as good.

Hope you have a nice Thanksgiving visiting with your family:)

Well, I LOVE your trees! Is that the new Creative Cafe polka dot felt? I am planning on buying some for my ornaments over at the Red Velvet Art ornament swap. Hopefully, they will have some left at my LSS! And, thanks for the mention on your blog! :0) Made my day. But, thanks even more for the Candice Carpenter link. I had never heard of her before, but I am HOOKED!
