We've been crazy busy, which is good, but it has left me little time for online interactions! Here's an update:
1. I've been in the Austin area for schooling WAY too much lately. I was there through the Thursday before Thanksgiving and will have to be there again starting Sunday. Bleh.
2. One upside to the above is that my hotel is 10 minutes from my parents' place, so I've been getting lots of family time!
3. Another upside is that next week is my review for my BIG test. After that, my traveling for courses for work will reduce DRAMATICALLY!
4. Thanksgiving with family is the only way to go.
5. I regret not making more time for more family.
6. I loved the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I WILL watch it every year now.
7. MM and I do NOT make good shopping partners. We just egg each other on and end up spending more than we wanted to.
8. I found out it takes me 15 minutes to fix the budget after we fall to temptation as above. That's comforting, but also a little bit scary!
9. Hanging out with my family, holiday or not, means that hilarity will without a doubt ensue. Laughter burns calories, so it's a win-win.
10. I miss our church family and SO want to know where God wants me to be involved there. They need people to step forward and I need to DO SOMETHING!
11. God's finally getting me up early enough to spend some good, quality time with Him and His Word. I need to do it. He's making it easy for me and my human self is still resisting.
12. I'm counting down to Christmas, but I'm so tired of traveling. I just want to stay home for two weeks in a row. Is that so hard?!
13. MM told me this weekend that he'd consider leaving Alpine once we had all our debt paid off. All we're lacking is his student loan. I don't know whether to accelerate our debt snowball further or slow it down. I'm a bit torn.
14. Our prayers for a child are becoming more and more fervent every minute. Maybe it's the Christmas season and the joy in children's faces. Maybe we're just being impatient. I know we have to wait on God's timing, but it still hurts.
15. We will be praying for peace and comfort and God's strength as we face the next unknown days.
16. I know it's childish, but I'm still super bummed that I didn't get to go see any cool Christmas light displays while we were on Thanksgiving holiday. I hope to make up for it next week.
Okay....that's us in a nutshell! Hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season and God's blessings to you all!

Robots and Christmas
This Christmas was quite fantastic, really. Button stole the show on Christmas morning. He's such a ham. Jason and I miss seeing him as often as we used to. Now that he's really grown into his personality, it's especially hard. We love our nephew to pieces!
We left last Tuesday for Corpus, to stay with Jason's dad and brother and Button, of course. We braved a few stores; Academy, where we both stocked up on Under Armour and Half Price Books, where I stocked up on, well, too many books again. We also braved the mall the morning of Christmas Eve and it was surprisingly dead. Bath and Body Works was packed, but I made quick work of that store and we were off. We spent the remainder of the day lounging around and playing with Button. We went to see Jason's grandma and exchange gifts with her. She's such a sweet woman, with a true love of her family and the Lord. She's just a blessing to be near. We also took Button to see the Christmas lights around town. He wasn't disappointed at all. Any house with at least one strand of lights was "Awesome!"
We spent Christmas morning opening presents with Button, Dad-in-law and bro-in-law and had a lot of fun doing so. We're so blessed! Button was spoiled rotten, but being the only grandchild, what do we expect? We left Corpus for Jason's mom's ranch and arrived just in time for presents with her new fiance and his family. That was a lot of fun as well. (Although I was a bit chagrined to receive the Twilight Soundtrack at the same time my 13-year-old and 16-year-old sis-in-law's did, but what am I going to do? I love Twilight!) Christmas lunch was a feast with turkey, ham and all the fixin's. We got to kick back and watch the Spurs beat the Suns with a last-second three-pointer from Roger Mason. (YES!!)
Saturday was our day to head back to the Pine and I'm glad we went, but I'm glad we're home. Having happy families on both sides is such a joy and a blessing. I know that not everyone is as fortunate as we are. We've had our hard times with some, but those things pass. Family is forever...
I believe that this is pretty much the coolest robot ever. His torso spins around while he's looking for attackers. Awesome.
Button being, well, Button. He was showing me how strong he was after working out with "Uncle Jason".

No internet?!
I experienced the world without internet this week. I went a full 4 days without checking in. SHOCKED?! Me too. The in-law's internet connection wasn't what I thought it would be (dial-up). No, as a matter of fact, it was non-existent. That's fine...we had fun without it. Who knew?!
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. I plan on posting more later, but I have to throw in this tidbit:
Wednesday night, Jason and I went with my FIL and our nephew, "Button", who is five, to go see Jason's grandma. On the road we were singing Christmas songs and Button turned to me suddenly and said, "Baby Jesus was a baby, but now he's dead. It's okay, though, because he's going to come back for us soon." That was just what I needed to hear, to remind me to stop and focus on that baby, whose presence on earth was short, but changed everything forever. Thank goodness for my little nephew and his reminder to me.
Merry (belated) Christmas!!

I'm still here!
This consistent blogging thing is harder than I thought. I guess it's okay, though. I was in Austin Sunday - Thursday and spent last night hanging out with Jason. We had so much fun last night that I didn't even think of blogging!
Anywho...today is a day of cleaning, laundry and cookie baking in preparation for our departure Tuesday for the in-law's. I'm hoping to blast some Christmas music while all that's going on, but we'll see how that goes; the Cowboys are playing their last game at their stadium and I imagine I'll have to be silent throughout! Lol!
Well, off to get some laundry going. I'll be working on the featured items for my favorites feature tonight. I'm super-excited about the Nativity theme!

Hotel Rooms and Handmade Favorites!
While I hate being apart from Jason for 4 nights, I do have to say that I LOVE nice hotel rooms. They're just so well-appointed and clutter-free. Our rooms when we come to these classes are always just right. I can check-in in minutes, find my room and get everything situated in about 15 minutes. That's wonderful! Isn't this room great? Yes, the laptop was set up first and yes, those are my weights on the TV dresser. I've got to get some kind of workout while I'm here!!
And pillows! I could live on these beds!! I wonder if you can buy these pillows somewhere...off to google! Lol!!
It's been a while, but I have not lost my desire to search out and share my favorite handmade items with you. I am going to do my best to get back on track and get this out on a weekly basis again. I'll be doing things right from here on out and seeking permission from the creator/seller to feature their items on my blog. I'm extremely grateful for those that have already given me their permission.
NOW, on to the goodies!! This week's theme, in keeping with the Christmas season, is Christmas Accessories. I searched high and low and found the best that Etsy had to offer in this category. I love the spirit of Christmas and am all-too-happy to display that love for everyone to see. These are the items I found that would best serve that purpose.
The first item is this fabulous Holly For the Holidays fused glass pendant by jochris12. I love that she took this, in my opinion, vintage imagery and combined it with such a modern form of art to create a very beautiful pendant. It is a very whimsical yet elegant piece. Bravo!

WashedUpMermaid crafts these beautiful Holiday Berry Headbands to order. They are so unexpected and I just adore them! The look is definitely elegant enough for the holiday party and yet whimsical enough to get you noticed. They look like a high-quality item that would survive many Christmas gatherings. She has several other gorgeous designs, but the one I've featured here is by far my favorite. (So, if you haven't purchased a present for me yet, now's your chance!! Wink, wink!)

Next is this wonderful Christmas and New Year ArT SS Charm Bracelet by LifeTravelsDesigns. If you've read just one of my handmade favorites features, you know that I adore charm bracelets, the chunkier the better. And you probably know I have high standards for handmade jewelry as well. This is definitely a high-quality, one of a kind piece and you can tell that the artist takes her time crafting her jewelry. I love the vintage images and charms on this bracelet. This is definitely a beautiful accessory that is right up my alley!

I rarely post earrings on my feature because, well, I usually just stick to my James Avery heart posts. If I had these earrings in my jewelry wardrobe, they would be worn frequently. If you visit the Etsy store, Neebu, you'll find several color combinations of this style of earrings. I'd love a pair in every color, but I selected the Holly pair because of their Christmas colors. They are made from rutilated quartz, garnets and chrome diopside and are just breathtaking. (On a side note, she's another Texan and I really would love to support and promote more Texas artists!)

It takes quite an artist to take some Christmasey poinsettia fabric and turn it into an elegant handbag. That's just what was crafted by LillyLeisureVille. This Poinsettia Holiday Handbag has much more class than I could imagine if I just saw a bolt of this sitting on a fabric store shelf. Again, this piece is high-quality and you can tell the maker paid close attention to detail. I would love to have this bag in my holiday collection. (Also, another Texan! Woohoo!)

Once again, I bring you a work of art from the queen of charm bracelets, poetsummer. Her Retro Christmas photo charm bracelet is the perfect blend of vintage images, Christmas cheer and sparkle. She continues to dazzle me with her work. I love that she used softer colors than what's expected. The soft pink and delicate green are just gorgeous. I will own one of her bracelets one day.
Image used with permission from Carrie @ poetsummer.
Last, but not least is this adorable set by amyheart. This Holly Jolly patchwork set comes with a tote bag, an eyeglass case, cell phone case, key fob and a cosmetic bag. Talk about your one-stop shopping! This would have been the perfect gift for so many on my list this year! From the pictures in her shop, you can tell that her sewing skills are top-notch and that she really puts the perfect finishing touches on her items. For example, there are SIX pockets inside the tote! What a wonderful set!

So, that's it for this week. I just love all the handmade goodness you can find out there. Thank you so much to each and every one of my featured artists for allowing me to showcase your wares! I'll be back next week and my theme will be "The Nativity". I'd love to feature some of your favorite items as well, so if you find one, send me a comment and maybe you'll see it in my next post!
As always, thanks for reading and good night!

It's Going to be a Kitschy Christmas
Well, maybe not that kitschy, but close. I finished the silver pine-cones and they're sitting nicely on a shelf waiting to be strewn about the house! Some of them got red bows and others will be left plain to be mixed with fairy lights in bowls. I can't wait to get to decorating!
I also did a few of the hanging ones for gifts this year. I'm hoping it will cause the recipients to reminisce a bit about Christmases past. Just seeing them reminds me of holiday crafting with my mom and two sisters. So much fun!
Other than that, the day was quite dull. Work, walk/jog, laundry, dinner, dishes and bed. Oh, and I ironed some curtains. Isn't that fab?! (Insert sarcastic snort here.)
Ah well, that's all that the day held, so that's all I will type. Adios until next time! Hopefully there will be more exciting posts to come!

Good Intentions
I had a great day today. I walked a mile and jogged a mile on my lunch break. Just the fact that I could jog an entire 1/2 mile at one time is a HUGE accomplishment for me, let alone do two in the same workout. That made me feel great!
While at work, I suddenly remembered that it was Thursday and that if I wanted a free weekend I would have to get my butt in gear to get the house cleaned and laundry done by tomorrow night. So, I pulled out a little notepad and scribbled out my to-do list for the night. Of, course I over-planned. There's typically no way to get done what I want to do in a given night, but at least it gives me a goal. So, I get started on my list, and things are going great. The laundry is started, bedroom cleaned, dinner made and dishes done, laundry switched out, office/guest room cleaned and bathroom cleaned. It's when I go to get the Swiffer together that I discover that I've forgotten to buy batteries for it. That's also when I realize that if I don't have batteries for that, I don't have batteries for my camera. Just great. I really wanted to post some pictures tonight. What a bummer. (And yes, "blog" is an item on my to-do list tonight! Lol!) So, tonight it is just boring me and words. Sorry!
Anyhow. It looks like I will definitely be rolling into the weekend with just a few chores to get done. The weekly laundry will be done but I'm sure I'll wash bed linens and curtains because of that. No biggie. I also want to start putting out our Christmas decor this weekend, but that depends on whether or not I get my swap goodies made at a reasonable time. Surely Jason and I will want to spend some time doing something fun. We'll see how that goes.
Well, I'm off to prep for bed. Shocking that it's so early and I'll gladly take it! My feet need some rest after all of that jogging!

Not enough time
I don't know how it happens, but I have a perfectly laid out plan for what needs to be done and when and it all falls apart!! Oh well, I assume that most people are like that, right?
The worst part about the night was processing my Avon orders. I love selling Avon and I really love the products, but every other Thursday when that delivery hits the front door mat, procrastination kicks in. Well, I got it done and was actually able to label and date 130 brochures for the next campaign. I just have to think about all money it's making us.
I think we're all packed for our weekend of Christmas shopping that starts tomorrow night. I know that we have a lot of things to get done, but I also know that we're both looking forward to a weekend away.
The year just seems to be going by so fast! I can't believe how soon Thanksgiving is. I don't don't if I'm prepared for all of this. The best thing is that I should have all of our presents wrapped and tucked away by next weekend. Phew. That is really the biggest task and to have it out of the way is going to be such a blessing!

Boring, boring, boring...
I was thinking of blogging yesterday and Monday, but we're utterly boring people and I had nothing to blog about! I find that hilarious!
Monday was the same old same old. Work then home for dinner and watching tv with Jason all night. I was off yesterday because they count ballots in my office and I couldn't be there while that was going on. I was planning on cleaning the carpets yesterday morning, but we decided it was best to wait until next Tuesday when we're both off of work so that Jason can help me move the furniture. Instead I did the grocery shopping and house cleaning, laundered all the bed linens, did a pretty tough workout and the tackled my magazine stash. I've got 10 magazine holders in the closet that are STUFFED full and then I have a few piles laying around the house. I devised a filing system and started going through them. It was a lot of fun and I didn't want to stop once it was time to start dinner.
Tonight will be leftovers for dinner, so I'll be running home, doing a semi-intense workout and doing laundry. Ghost Hunters is on tonight and it's the conclusion of Halloween's live episode, so we won't be missing that. I plan on going through at least one more holder of magazines and then starting another scarf. I'm on a roll for Christmas this year!
Well, off to make lists of who we're shopping for and what we're buying this year! I love planning for Christmas!!!

Creativity leads to exhaustion...
Wow. I'm tired. Jason has been out all night doing a deer survey. I've been strapped to my desk working on a craft/art project for a craftster swap that I'm embarrassingly behind on. I have to admit that inspiration was elusive on this particular swap, the "Book-Lovers" swap, but things are coming together now. I just finished a work in pyrography/painting that I'm extremely proud of. I'll post pictures as soon as my crafty partner has received it. I will almost certainly create a similar piece of wall art for myself. The requirements for this swap were small, but I still fell behind. I'll be sending by Saturday and am going out tomorrow for some extra goodies to throw in.
I am up way too late, but I just don't feel like I can put my head down. I've just got a last little bit of crafting to do and then I will try to sleep. I'm just out of my element right now. That's okay, because things will be back to normal soon.
Jason's been talking about going to Midland-Odessa for a while for Christmas shopping and a mini-getaway for us. I've been putting off discussing it, but finally made reservations for the MCM Elegante in Odessa. It's a really nice place, according to my friend at work, and I booked us an in-room couple's massage for the morning after we arrive. Now I'm actually excited about the trip. I'm going to try to find a nice place for us to dine while there, but I'm pretty sure we'll end up going to Olive Garden anyhow. Haha!
Well, the glue is in place and ready to dry overnight. Hopefully I'll dream of the last project I need to make my package complete.
