Making some gifts for friends and family that are joining us on Thanksgiving. Still love these boxes from Martha Stewart (I bought at Michael's over a year ago). Always wish Martha by Mail still existed. Sorry that it takes me so long to get to projects and by the time I do the products aren't in the store anymore.
Making some Christmas paper things using photos of mine and even a flyer from Restoration Hardware.
Making a special gift for one of my best friends, Kelly (that those who attend Silver Bella get to know), who's had a hard year. Such a hard year that she's behind in her blog reading, so no worries that the surprise will be revealed too soon. We used to live on the same street. We met while she was out pushing her babes Max and Sam in a stroller and walking her dogs Dave and Greg alongside. I knew I would love her and her funny take on the world right then. We used to be creative playmates and then she moved across the country. Still makes me sad to think of the loss, but I do get to see her when we meet yearly at Silver Bella. So I'm sending this pick me up. An advent calendar sort of gift box. 25 treats for her to open whenever she feels the need, or one a day until Christmas.
Of course, what I really need to be doing is grocery shopping and cleaning. I am so easily distracted to making things instead. So much more fun. But seriously, in an attempt at honesty, here is the office desk this morning, as is, untouched.
Need I say more? I think not. Hope your Thanksgiving Holiday prep is coming together with a little less feet dragging than mine!
