Black Friday - Time to think about Christmas gifts!

So, my intention is to avoid the consumer rush and save money by making everyone's Christmas presents this year. Yes, this may seem ridiculous seeing as how I'm just coming out of DIY wedding mode and my house is still a wreck, but.... I am feeling inspired to do something creative, yet non-wedding related. The parents & grandparents will get wedding photo albums, so this isn't totally non-wedding... However, my other plan is to make cookies and to bust out my silk-screening kit and design some fun patterned fabric. That fabric will be turned into pillows & totes. Maybe I'll even make a few T-shirts with the pattern. I'm totally in love & inspired by these Thomas Paul pillows right now. What thinkest ye bloggers?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy belated Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a fabulous day (and ate lots of homeade pies)!

....why is my 'to do' list still 4 pages long?

HOORAY!!

I am so happy and proud right now.
I am so glad it's over, and I don't have to move to Canada!
I love my new President.
