Christmas – Carpe Diem

by Sandra Bennett
TCF

4 Dec

Don’t blink, don’t breath, don’t look away…it’s DECEMBER and just about TWENTY DAYS until CHRISTMAS. Yes, I’m screaming!

Oh, I’m completely and totally ready for Christmas…it’s the gift giving that’s got me bamboozled. I’m still stitching my fingers to the bone and see almost absolutely no signs of progress.

On top of that…we’ve got company this weekend so have got to feed and house people. Wonder if they could just plunder for what they need while I run away? As long as they make sure the animals are fed and my chores are done…sounds like a plan to me.

Mary Lois, my beloved friend, send me Christmas gifts in the mail this week. GRRRRRR. She’s SO prepared; she should have been a girl scout. Her gift has been bought but now needs to be sewn together…it’s a two-parter gift. Buy the materials then sew them together. Just like all the rest of my gifts except some are actually finished and ready to be wrapped.

So…carpe diem…I think I’ll sign off this computer and get to work.

In the meantime, please check out Cedar Pond…linked to my blog. A Cedar Pond visit is calming, soothing, refreshing, relaxing AND she has recipes!

God’s blessings on you, yours and the work of your hands and heart.

Merry Christmas.

Blessings ~ Christmas ~ good blogs ~ good friends ~ computers ~ heart and art ~

    Thank-you ! I was just reading YOUR blog for the peace and perspective. I am still up making little sheep for a Christmas bazaar, but it is peaceful here. I have 2 Labs snoozing at my feet and a real, crackling fire in the fireplace…and a whole lot of little sheep waiting for their wool coats !Will there be pictures of your handiwork after Christmas ? Please, please ?
