Christmas Shopping


Are you done Christmas shopping? I am NOT.  You know, when the girls were little (and I say that cause I'm talking about Jenna and Ashley, who are now 19 and 20) I use to be finished with my shopping before Thanksgiving.  Then, we added Lauren to the mix and I still did good to finish around Thanksgiving.  BUT, they got older and we added Harley and Mallory to the mix and I got slower.  It would be early-December before I finished.  Now, we have added a son-in-law and granddaughter and a long-term boyfriend and I'm wondering when I'm going to finish shopping.

Here's my problem - my children are girls.  I have a general idea what I'm getting Ashley and Jenna (I'm finished shopping for the other 3).  I even have Catie's gift all wrapped and under the tree.  In fact, I can't wait for Christmas for her to open it so I can play with it (it's a castle with princesses and a prince and a carriage!).  I don't have a clue what to get Nick and Jessie.  They're boys.  And as previously stated, I have girls.  Yes, I have a husband who isn't much more than an overgrown boy child himself, but he's not any help in buying for the guys since his interests lie in hunting and fishing only (if it's got camo on it, it's a winner for my Hubs).  Do you have a suggestion as to what I can get them?

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant

I won an ARC of this on Goodreads - thank you so much!  I enjoyed it so much! My favorite romances are of the Regency period and this is that time period.  But that is where all similarities to others end.  Mrs. Russell (I just can't bring myself to call her Martha LOL) is a new widow who comes to realize she will loose her home and her dowry if she doesn't produce a male heir.  The kicker to this is that the late Mr. Russell's brother is a total jerk-face who has taken advantage of women in their home when he lived there as a young man.  Enter Mr. Theo Mirkwood...the rogue who has been sent to the country as a punishment by his father.  Mrs. Russell employs Mr. Mirkwood as her "stud" for a month so she can conceive a child and claim the inheritance.   Mrs. Russell believes she can't take any pleasure from their daily (later it becomes nightly) encounters.  Theo eventually changes her mind.  Martha is so set on her plan to thwart her late hus

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?
