A Christmas present I shall be making for 2 young grandbebes, who shall remain nameless, but may or may not be pictured in this blog post (thank-you, Martha Stewart, for the idea) sent me to Michael’s…where I bought a bag of something I’ll need (which I can’t tell you in case said grandbebes read this! ;p ), which is usually $5.99, however was on a clearance table for $2.99, but when in fact, I went through the check-out, was only 1-cent. That is right! One red penny.
A large, loudly-squawking flock of geese flew over the backyard early this morning, heading south with a fury. There is a snow moving in on us from the north today, I hear (even though it was nearly 70-degrees yesterday). Apparently they had missed the announcement that 22 days before Christmas is kinda late for the travel plans they should have made.
A downloadable book with teaching and cut-out decorations for creating a tree that teaches the true meaning of Christmas:

I don’t know how I ever raised my children without all these great resources. Aren’t you excited about all the free gifts I am giving out? *smile…
Hope you’re having a holly jolly day…Jeanie
NOTE TO SELF: Tomorrow is grandkid day…plan fun stuff! And…this is post #400, odd as it is.
