Rudy Day

Over at another forum that I belong to, today the 25th of every month is Rudy Day.  Do something that helps Christmas be less stressful.  Of course, I rarely get to do anything on the 25th but some drink hot cocoa (in a Christmas mug), put on some Christmas music and accomplish things.  Make list, crafts, try a new recipe, update card list, try to set a budget and put back for a gift with every pay etc....

I always have a booklet thing in my purse and I jot down things about Christmas and when I buy a gift I put it in it.  I jot down gifts I get for prizes for games, and ideals of games I hear or such to maybe try on Christmas Eve. I buy things for Christmas year round and I am done with 5 people already.  GREAT finds on New Years Day!  Normally spend $20 on each and got all their stuff for under $5.00 each so wasn't even $20.00 for all!  That is 3 gifts each too, I am ALWAYS on the look out for Christmas gifts.

It comes around pretty fast!!!!

Hope all are staying warm!

I have not been able to load pictures for several months and just got a new computer set up tonight so trying it out.

This is a picture of Teigan last May at Pre K graduation.  She was 4.

Found in magazine years ago

This day is a treasure!

Today doesn't have to be a birthday or an anniversary or a holiday to be special.  All days are born that way!  In fact, there's no such thing as an ordinary day, because each and every one comes with unlimited potential.  Today isn't just any day.  It's your day.
Enjoy!

I am here

I have been busy sewing a few things.  Made some burp rags and washcloths for a baby shower.  I hemmed 7 t-shirts for a friend, took some pants in for myself, and fixed the cuffs on a shirt I got at Goodwill.  Put elastic in.

Was off 4 days but was nice to just chill alittle.  And I had such big plans to accomplish alot!!!

Tonight at our sewing guild--club we made fabric postcards.  Kinda neat.  I have seen them on sites but never tried them.  It was the 3rd meeting for it and I missed the first month.  Kinda interesting.  I took a quilt that my great aunt made in 1936 when she was 16. Sun Bonnett Sue.  She is still alive and then I took a scrap bow tie quilt that my gma hand sewed together and then hand quilted.  The squares are about 2 or 3".

August it is!

Cannot believe that we are to another August!!!

Start of summer brings list of to dos and hopes of getting it done---then it is fall and you see what isn't done!

We have made head way on a few things BUT lots more to go.  Not enough time.  Husband has been retired a couple years now but seems he is busier than before.  I still work.

At this time of year I really do start thinking Christmas more when shopping, the treats to make, games to play and the such.
