Merry Christmas

So are you ready for Santa? I am almost ready, I still have 1 more gift to get for my secret Santa, 1 for a friend and ...the dreaded...stocking stuffer's...lol!
I tell ya, I don't know what it is this year with the stockings, usually I have a plan this year...NADA! Oh well something will come up!


My mom is gonna kill me for posting this photo...lol
This is my mom and her dad my papa.
Probably 1965 or 1966.
I have always loved this photo :)
She would be 14 or 15 here.

Tonight we are going to Beth and Steve's for dinner, and to celebrate Christmas with my cousin Leigh and her husband James. For dinner  it's homemade chow mien and egg rolls! YUM! When we were kids we could not afford to eat out too often so my mom made everything! Her chow mien is so good and none of us like it any way but hers.

Keep my Leigh in your prayers she is having surgery on the 23rd, that is why we are celebrating with her tonight.

I am sure I will be back with photos tomorrow :)

    Love the picture, Jenny. It actually brought back memories of Christmas with my dad.
    Keeping Leigh in my prayers.
    LOVE chow mein and egg rolls and in my opinion, there is nothing like homemade food.
    Stockings still pending, huh? Oh my...the stocking dilemma this year. ;)

I miss my Blogging Girlfriends

 Life got busy. Even during all the mess of 2020. I miss blogging, crafting and all the friends I made doing SWAPS, Pink Saturday, Commenting on others posts. It's been too long. My guy keeps telling me I need to do what I love, and what I enjoy. He is right. That's exactly what I need. So I am gonna visit the still active blogs of all the lovely ladies I have missed and hopefully we will reconnect. I hope to talk to you soon! Jenny

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners.

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make
