Getting Ready

Getting ready for Christmas. The tree is now up. The stockings are hung by the chimney with care. The wreath is getting lights today, then it will be hung up on the front door. Also I am getting ready for the anticipated Christmas visit of my nephew, Merlin and his new bride, Jennifer, so I am doing a major clear out of "stuff". Also, my Da should be joining us. Thus far there are four big blue Ikea shopping bags of stuff and not nearly done. Le Sigh Enorme. Too, I am getting ready for a new round of an art exchange in a Moleskine with my International Moleskine Exchange group from Ravelry.com. I am really excited for this new round. We took a hiatus for 2012 and I missed my Moley mail. I ordered something special for the ladies in the group, which I won't share here as yet, since more than a few of the participants read this blog. This Moley has been on travels before. It is a themed one. It was started the year of the 200th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe's birthday and the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birthday, so the theme is Ravens and Roses. This will be it's third go ~ round and hopefully it will be filled up completely this g-round. As well, as getting ready to re-read an Echo in the Bone by Diana Gabaldon for the Ravelry book themed swap to begin in 2013.

Day 22 ~ Trees

Yes, indeed. The Continental Divide and the trees that I saw there.

Happy Upside Down Christmas

...for those that need extra room under the tree, just saying...

#28 of 365 - Another Hat that I Wear or FB is Kewl for Free Stuff

If you are a fan of Facebook and Einstein Bros. Bagel, then you know that you can get a coupon for a free bagel and a schmear... Erin and I took advantage of it this morning. Of course, the child would take the picture whilst I was stuffing my face, sigh.














This is what the trees looked like as we drove about. Lovely they are, all dusted with rime.
