She's Crafty

... that was a nod to The Beastie Boyz in case you didn't know...
Thought I would grace you all with my presence and presents! As I said before, just been real busy.
We had "craft night" ant my friend's house where we whipped out some home-made gifts. She made some gorgeous frames and I made candles, a monogrammed wall plaque and Palm tree ornaments. Some are featured below along with portions of the Veggie Tales Nativity scene (other portions could not be located at the moment). How cute is that?!?! And easy peasy!
I also finished up school for the semester. We had an eventful last day with the kids. When I get those pics I will do a separate post. Clue: Vertically challenged Polar employee. Afterwards I went out to eat with my staff. Oh, and did I mention I baked almost 200 cookies for them?!? I'm not sure what I was thinking but they turned out pretty cute.
We had a family party Saturday night. It was the usual home-cooked meal and gift exchange. Savannah scored a Barbie princess toy. Steve and I didn't fair so well. He got a flashlight, which really, was also a gift for Savannah and I got a recycled holiday bowl. How do I know it was recycled? It said "2000" on the side. Nice.
Finally got the Christmas cards ordered and picked up, successfully, from Wal-Mart. They are so cute! Now all I gotta do to address the little suckers.
Today we are off to Florida and Disney World fora few days. Yes, again! Steve has to go anyway for a work thing so Savannah and I are tagging along. While in that part of the world, we figured let's go to Disney again while we can. I just hope Savannah doesn't think she gets to visit Mickey EVERY 6 months for the rest of her life...

Isn't it sacreligous to have wine cork palm trees as part of a nativity scene?

Have fun at Disney! That's awesome that you are getting to go. I really need to plan that sort of thing for the girls 'cause I think they'd both dig it...but it seems like an awful lot of work and let's face it...I'm a lazy mom!

My dad and his wife are at Disney right now and they said the weather is beautiful. I'm not jealous at all. Not. one. bit.

Have fun!!! You deserve a vacation.

Question: Are those palm trees made out of cigars?

Have fun at Disney World!
