2007 is almost history....

Unbelievable that 2007 is almost over. The year has flown by! It's been a wonderful year, really it has! Even December was great with all the hustle and bustle. Last time I blogged, I hadn't made a dent in being ready for Christmas, but, surprisingly, the Tuesday before December 25...that would be the 18th...I scratched my head and realized I was finished with the preparations!


The tree (and house) got decorated. The tree was simple, but I did take time to pull out more decorations and set them up throughout the house...made it very cozy...kind of had the old midwest feel...countryish, if you know what I mean. I spent one whole Saturday baking cookies...did a batch of the rolled out sugar cookies (with frosting) and I made these delicious cookies with one end dipped in chocolate...yum! I also made some rum balls, which tasted like little bites of chocolate cheesecake.


Our Christmas card turned out to be very fun. We had a traveling nativity at our church, and we had real animals on hand. So we took the opportunity to take some pictures with the animals.
DS put a little collage together using Photoshop, uploaded it to Costco, and wha-la! Christmas cards are finished!


I did make a little bit more progress on VS Christmas Village, although I did not get as far as I had hoped during the holiday season. I did put it away until next year...maybe there will a wee bit of Christmas in July??


Sorry about that blurry picture....

Goal setting for 2008 has been frustrating! There is sooo much I want to do/try! I keep going around in circles.

2008 Goals...

• Bent Creek Snappers (full year together)(kitted, ready to go!)
• Bent Creek Big Zipper (haven't started the latest section yet)
  
• Leisure Arts Winnie the Pooh Birth Sampler (started yesterday, 12/29)
  
• Stoney Creek Heirloom Stitches (twinkle in my eye)
  
• Ink Circles Cirque des Circles (decided on fabric and thread!)
• ornament x 3
• learn how to knit socks

Non-stitching Goals...

• complete making picture CDs for my kids
• make an online photo gallery
• organize photos on my computer
• finish my diet
• lots of practice being a grandma

Thanks for your patience and reading this entire post. As a public service, I will end this post and come back another day and elaborate on my goals.

toodles...
