Well, everything that I can do for Christmas short of grocery shopping is done....we scaled back a lot this year-NEEDS vs. WANTS...so.....I did get to travel a bit locally and go see some friends...plans got a bit mixed around but I did a pitstop near Parkton for a bit and my camera had no charge so no photos there but I did love seeing Laura (and I picked up a sweet gift from her just for ME) and then I kept going north to go play with some paper & scissor friends!

Lisa Lisa and her cult jam

**other updates:
The Ravens are losing in a major way to Detroit....maybe that'll change by morning but I doubt it....
**This CD is pretty good but not my favorite
BUT very sexually explicit (song content)-will be glad when Rihanna grows up and sings more classy songs...I'm still a big fan of the girl tho'.









**Weekend projects-made a tray for Kate so she can add pics of her super cute grandson  in there..I was away from my ribbon stash so it looks naked to me-she said she'd add some when she got home too...She picked the papers and I used those super cute pin banners from Making Memories, Prima flowers and a Making Memories ephemera kit in there...sprayed cardstock with some Ranger Perfect Pearls copper spray for a hint of shimmer.

**the BIG tree that Thing 2 "needed" and yes, Thing 1 has stopped sneezing around it provided she takes the Zyrtec!  and just other Christmas touches around the house..I still need to add more ornaments to the tree though :)
