The weather in my neck of the woods:
47 degrees right now, and I'm finally wearing sweat pants, a knitted sweater and some gloves. Now I know I'm probably totally overdoing it compared to the temps some of you already have, but I don't care, it's the only time of the year I actually feel cold LOL
Things that make me happy:
Book I'm reading:
The Secret Life of Josephine: Napoleon's Bird of Paradise by Carolly Erickson - LOVE historical fiction :)

Tips and Tricks:
If you're going for the Homemade Gifts this year, you really need to start early. It's not even so much as a tip or trick because I'm sure everyone knows this. Usually I'm the person in the store on the week of Christmas, doing all the shopping....but I've since then gotten over that, maybe I'm getting old LOL I've started early this year, already bought some things, making a lot of the others :)
My favorite blog post this week:
Work in Progress over at After Hours
Blog Hopping (a new discovered blog you would like to share with the readers):
Aunt Angie's Sewing Projects
No words needed (favorite photo or picture, yours or others you want to share):
Lesson learned the past few days:
To check myself....seriously. To stop, to think, to consider before I open my mouth because sometimes in the heat of the moment I will say something and later regret it.
On my mind:
All the homemade Christmas gifts I'm making
Devotionals, Scripture Reading, Key Verses:
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
Proverbs 21:3
Thanks fir the tip about making gifts! I need to figure out if I am going to make anything for anyone. If I am I need to get started!
