hey my sweet O fam!! Sorry I'm so late getting in here today...we have had a whirlwind day. Emma and I went shopping this morning. I still have nothing for mr gorgeous, emma and quentin...well, i have a little something for quentin, but that's it...my other two girlies are soooooo easy to buy for!!
anyway, tomorrow, I'll be shopping like crazy again! But I'll have cora with me, so it'll be a bit easier, probably!
We also had to do the whole deep cleaning thing in our 3600 sq ft house! OMGosh!!!! Because mr Gorgeous has been traveling, we've been lax at scrubbing! so today was hard!! I cleaned out one whole kitchen cabinet, though and cleaned out our medicine box - lots of expired meds that we wouldnt ever take. So I have a couple of shelves to put stuff on! yay! and a BIG box of giveaway dish stuff. Feels sooo good!!
I also posted my fun freebie today. Don't forget to
go on over and get your quilty freebie! (shameless pimping, i know!!!)
I have to finish a digi book for my bff, a 12x12 paper scrapbook for my mil, and maybe a mini quilt for my mom. I haven't decided yet!! heehee!!!
and tomorrow we are going to one of my dear friends' mil's assisted living homes to sing to them (or with them??). Just our family...the 6 of us. I'm soooo excited about this. When Cora started with Honor Society this year, I realized how much I would have loved to do service projects with my fam, so we decided (I decided...hehheh!) that we as a family needed to do a service project every month. That seems to me to be what is missing in this country nowadays!! People caring about other people!! It's kinda hard when we get into our busy schedules and just barely hanging on ourselves, but I'm really praying that this is God's way of showing others His love and caring. So to start with, we've been doing kinda easy stuff...Shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, and then this month we are singing for our dear friend and her home. Next month we are going to explore this web site where you can invest $25 to help a person in a third world country to start a new business. I have it in my favorites...I'll share when we get to that!! I also love the Samaritan's Purse web site where you can buy a sheep for someone in a needy area in honor of someone else!!
We may do that in Feb, since I LOVE SHEEP!!! LOL!!! Aren't i goofy????
anyway, I better go and finish my kitchen scrubbiing!! Changing the laundry and folding too!! yikes!! We are being so good this christmas!! Please pray that I get my shopping done!!!!!! LOL!!
LOVE you guys!!
